Wood House Khao Chakan is a charming wooden café set in the middle of a vibrant 6-rai field of yellow cosmos flowers in Khao Chakan Subdistrict, Khao Chakan District, Sa Kaeo Province. The café is surrounded by panoramic mountain scenery, with the dramatic silhouette of Khao Chakan as its backdrop, making it one of the most picturesque and relaxing spots for travelers visiting the area.

 

The expansive flower field is the highlight of the café. The bright yellow cosmos bloom densely, contrasting beautifully with the green surroundings and the rugged mountains. A wooden walkway stretches into the heart of the field, allowing visitors to stroll, take photos, and soak in the natural beauty. Several photo spots—wooden arches, seating areas, and scenic viewpoints—are thoughtfully placed around the area, offering perfect angles for photography lovers.

 

Another signature experience at Wood House is watching the spectacular flight of “millions of bats” emerging from Khao Chakan Cave in the early evening, typically around 17:30–18:00. The bats soar out of the cave in a long black ribbon-like formation stretching for kilometers across the sky—a rare natural phenomenon in Thailand that fascinates both adults and children alike.

 

The café itself is built entirely from wood, creating a warm countryside atmosphere. The first floor features the drink counter and various seating areas, while the upper level serves as an open-air terrace with sweeping views of the flower field and the mountain. The menu offers a variety of drinks including coffee, milk tea, Thai tea, cocoa, Taiwanese tea, and refreshing cold beverages. Light snacks such as fried chicken, French fries, and simple Thai dishes are also available for visitors looking for a casual meal.

 

The ambiance at Wood House Khao Chakan suits all types of visitors—families, couples, groups of friends, or solo travelers seeking a peaceful moment amidst nature. The café offers both indoor and outdoor seating, allowing guests to enjoy the mountain breeze throughout the day. Although the midday sun can be strong, the late afternoon brings cooler air and a golden glow, making it the ideal time to visit.

 

Visitors planning to walk through the flower field should wear comfortable shoes with good grip, as some areas may have loose soil or moisture, especially after rain. It is also recommended to stay on designated pathways to protect the flowers and maintain the beauty of the field for others.
