History

Formerly known as Boon Rawd Farm, the Singha Park was once a family-run farm, owned by Boon Rawd Brewery. The founding family produces Singha Beer, a famous beer from Thailand. The land on Singha Park was where the family once grew barley to produce their beer. Singha beer was Thailand’s first brewery beginning in 1929. The company is now run by third and fourth generations of the Bhirom Bhakdi family. The word Singha means lion, which is the logo for Singha beer. The King of the jungle is considered a powerful beast in Thai and South-East Asian mythology.

This is a very popular selfie spot for tourists who visit. The family decided to transform the farmlands into a sustainable agricultural tourism park. Singha park opened to the public in December 2012. Many of the old farms still remain where barley, fruit orchards, and tea plantations are grown. The Oolong tea grown here has become world-renowned, and taking a tour will show visitors how the tea is grown.
