Chomthat Farm, Surat Thani

ชมทัศน์ฟาร์ม สุราษฎร์ธานี is an equestrian center, horse farm and agritourism facility in Maluan, Phunphin, Surat Thani. Originally set up on about 50 rai as a deer and livestock farm, it now centers on horses and operates as a riding club.

The club runs riding lessons that teach children and adults basic horsemanship, balance and concentration, and prepare riders for equestrian sports. Equine-assisted therapy sessions are designed for children with special needs, such as autism or developmental or motor delays. They are run with local health officials and academic support from Mahidol University. Trail rides go through the local countryside, and guided led walks around the farm suit beginners and children. The farm also hosts regional seminars of the Thailand Equestrian Federation and university animal science training programs.

Stabling and livery are available for privately owned horses, and the farm keeps more than 10 horses and ponies. Facilities include outdoor sand and dirt riding grounds, paddock arenas, stables and grazing areas across the 50-rai property, and farm trails through the greenery. A refreshment corner linked to Chopma Café is on site, along with vehicle parking. Accommodation is not offered on site.
