Khum Wiman Din, located at 121/1 Moo 3, Khlong Khuean Subdistrict, Khlong Khuean District, Chachoengsao, is a nature-and-art destination that was not created as a passing trend, but from the founder’s sincere intention to build a “restful sanctuary” for people living in a fast-paced world. This is more than just a clay modeling venue; it is a space that meaningfully connects nature, art, and family life.

 

The name “Khum Wiman Din” reflects the original concept behind its creation. The word “Khum” suggests a warm, homelike residence; “Wiman” evokes a place of happiness; and “Din” (clay or earth) represents the fundamental material of both art and life. Together, the name signifies a joyful haven shaped from simple earth that anyone can touch. This philosophy forms the foundation of the entire site’s design.

 

The founder of Khum Wiman Din has a strong interest in ceramic art and traditional handicrafts. The initial intention was to create a space where children and families could physically experience clay with their own hands. In a digital era where children spend increasing amounts of time on screens, shaping clay becomes a tangible way to develop fine motor skills, concentration, and imagination. The space was therefore built on the belief that “art softens the heart,” and that emotional softness is the cornerstone of a warm and healthy family.

 

Architecturally, Khum Wiman Din does not follow a luxurious modern style. Instead, it emphasizes harmony with nature. Many structures are built using natural materials such as wood, brick, and clay, with simple rooflines that blend into the surrounding landscape. The layout allows natural airflow to pass through open spaces, reducing energy use and maintaining a cool atmosphere even on hot days. Activity zones and relaxation areas are clearly defined, yet seamlessly connected by shaded garden pathways.

 

The storytelling of this place is not delivered through advertising slogans, but through lived experience. Upon entering, visitors encounter a variety of clay sculptures displayed throughout the grounds. Some pieces are the founder’s creations; others are works left behind by children and families who once visited. Each piece reflects a unique imagination and inspires visitors to believe that they, too, can create something meaningful.

 

Clay modeling is the heart of Khum Wiman Din. For only 40 baht per person, including equipment and free guidance from instructors, participants are encouraged to create freely without limitations or judgment. The atmosphere is filled with laughter and focus—children shape animals while adults form cups or vases. Everyone becomes immersed in the creative process, sharing a moment of genuine joy.

 

Once finished, participants may take their creations home immediately or choose to have them fired for durability and practical use. This adds deep emotional value, as each piece becomes a unique memory of a special day—truly a one-of-a-kind creation in the world.

 

The surrounding green spaces resemble a small garden resort. Large trees provide shade, open lawns allow children to run freely, and quiet corners invite adults to sit and enjoy refreshments. The sound of wind moving through leaves enhances the sense of calm, offering a welcome contrast to the noise of city life.

 

Emotionally, many visiting families say that the time spent sitting together shaping clay becomes a rare opportunity for genuine conversation. With no phones and no screens—only clay and shared laughter—this simple activity delivers profound value without the need for elaborate explanation.

 

Site management also reflects sustainable thinking. Reused materials are incorporated thoughtfully, and existing trees are carefully preserved. Drainage systems are designed in harmony with the natural terrain to prevent flooding during the rainy season. Every element demonstrates careful attention to detail and long-term environmental consideration.

 

For those seeking unhurried relaxation, Khum Wiman Din is ideal for spending three to four hours—or even longer. Visitors can begin by strolling through the grounds, taking photographs, participating in clay modeling, and then unwinding in the garden before heading home.

 

Getting There from Chachoengsao town takes approximately 20–30 minutes by car, heading toward Khlong Khuean District. The route is convenient and clearly signposted. Private vehicles are the most practical mode of transport, and parking space is generally sufficient on regular weekends.
