Primo Piazza, Khao Yai – Thailand’s Little Italy With Cobbled Streets, Lush Meadows, And Farm Animals

Walking around Primo Piazza in Khao Yai, I was impressed by the serenity of this beautiful place. It was really fun to get close to the adorable farm animals too.

Primo Piazza

Primo Piazza is a themed attraction in the Pak Chong district. It is a recreation of a rural Italian town – complete with cobblestone streets, sprawling green fields, farm animals, and all the other trappings of a quaint Tuscan village.

I came here with my family in December on a weekday at 4.30pm, and the place only had a handful of other visitors. We spent around 1.5 hours here.

Entrance Fee

We had to pay to enter this attraction. The adult ticket costs THB200, while a child ticket costs THB100. It opens from 9am to 6pm daily, with the last entry at 5.30pm.

Italian Architecture

First, we walked through the large Italian-style entrance gate that was covered with lush greenery.

Once inside, there were plenty of good spots for photo ops. I had to fulfil my Instagram husband duties and take plenty of photos of the wife.

The attraction is actually quite small and there are probably less than a dozen buildings. However, I was impressed by the effort to try and make this place look like a real Tuscan village.

I saw a tower with some people standing at the top. However, I was too tired by this time to make the climb up.

Alpaca Barn

I had lots of fun feeding the hungry alpacas in the barn! They rushed to the fence immediately whenever they saw visitors holding food.

I patted one alpaca on its head while feeding it, but it probably cared more about the food than anything else.

Sheep farm

Next, I headed outdoors to the sheep farm, where there was literally one whole herd of hungry sheep waiting to be fed. This was the closest I had ever gotten to a herd of sheep.

Like the alpacas, they rushed to the fence whenever they saw visitors. It was really fun feeding them!

One alpha male ram kept head-butting other sheep out of its way, and I punished it by feeding the other sheep around it instead.

Gorgeous Scenery

For me, the highlight of Primo Piazza was definitely the beautiful scenery. I simply loved the lush meadows, colourful flowers beds and vivid foliage, all set amidst a tranquil mountainous backdrop.

I also stumbled upon a faux (but pretty) windmill. For someone who hails from a big city, this was the perfect place to unwind and get close to nature.

Eateries

If you are feeling hungry, there is a cafe and ice cream parlour here. I did not get to try the food but apparently the gelatos are really good because they are made with milk from the local dairy farms.

There is a small souvenir shop too.

Conclusion

I had a great time at Primo Piazza in Khao Yai! However, don’t expect to spend too much time here because the complex is quite small, and the only activities available are feeding the animals and taking photos. That said, it was still a really fun experience and this attraction is definitely worth a visit.
