The appeal of Khao Yai and Pak Chong souvenirs is that they're fresh — a lot of what's on offer comes straight from local farms, whether it's cow's milk, grapes or sweet corn. It's only about a 2.5-hour drive from Bangkok to the source, so some things you can buy and eat right at the farm, while others come vacuum-packed or canned so they travel easily. We've grouped everything by type so you can just pick what you fancy.
Fresh milk and yogurt from the farms
This is the real star of Pak Chong souvenirs. This area is one of Thailand's old dairy heartlands, so fresh farm products are easy to find and taste good. Here are the two main spots people stop at again and again.
Dairy Home
The organic dairy farm that comes to mind first for most Khao Yai regulars. They do pasteurised fresh milk, plain natural yogurt and several flavours of fresh-milk ice cream. The buildings are English-style timber cottages, and there's a separate Organic Outlet selling pesticide-free vegetables and Dairy Home-branded goods — a handy stop to shop before you head home.
Umm!..Milk — Farm Chokchai
The milk brand under the Farm Chokchai group. The hits are the milk tablets, pasteurised fresh milk and homemade yogurt. You can buy it at the shop inside Farm Chokchai and at roadside stalls — a souvenir kids love that's easy to pack home.
Getting milk home without it spoiling
Pasteurised fresh milk and yogurt need to stay chilled the whole way. If you've got a long drive, bring a cooler bag with ice, or go for milk tablets and dry goods that keep at room temperature — those are the safer bet over a long journey.
Want to taste deeper? Try a Khao Yai food tour or cooking class
Half a day with a local who knows the lanes — or cooking a dish yourself — teaches you more than just eating. Book ahead on Klook or GetYourGuide.
Wine and grapes from the vineyards
Khao Yai is one of Thailand's best-known regions for tropical wine grapes. There are two big wineries open for visits where you can buy to take home, and the souvenirs aren't just bottles of wine — there's pressed grape juice, fresh grapes and grape-based snacks too.
GranMonte Vineyard
A family-run vineyard at the foot of Khao Yai, founded in 1999, making white and red wines from their own grapes. There's a shop selling wine, grape juice and souvenirs, and you can taste before you buy.
Vineyard + caféPB Valley Khao Yai Winery
Khao Yai's large-scale vineyard, with tours of the vines and production facility plus a shop selling wine, grape juice and homemade grape pie. A good pick for a more special souvenir.
If you don't drink alcohol there are still options — both vineyards have pressed grape juice and fresh grapes in season. If you do want to take a bottle of wine home, ask the staff to recommend one that travels well, then wrap it carefully against bumps before you stow it in the boot.
Watch the clock when buying wine
Thai law restricts alcohol sales to certain hours (typically around 11:00–14:00 and 17:00–24:00). If you're set on taking wine home, time your vineyard stop to land within those windows so you don't miss out.
Farm produce and fresh picks
Beyond milk and wine, Pak Chong is also a source of sweet corn and plenty of other farm produce. This group stands out for being fresh and locally made — some spots sell out fast, so it pays to go early.
Suwan Farm corn milk
The famous pick from the National Corn and Sorghum Research Center (Suwan Farm), run by Kasetsart University. Sweet, fragrant corn milk pressed from the center's own research-variety corn — so popular that some days there's a queue.
Suwan Farm fresh sweet corn
Freshly boiled sweet corn and bagged fresh cobs, the center's own Insee 2 variety — sweet and crisp. Good to eat on the road or to carry home.
Steak, sausage & bacon from Farm Chokchai
Meat products from Farm Chokchai — steak, cheese sausages, meatballs and bacon, frozen and packed for the trip home. Great if you like cooking at home.
Pesticide-free farm vegetables
Several farms in the area, including Dairy Home's organic section, sell fresh pesticide-free vegetables in season — fresh, well priced, and good to carry home to cook with.
Dry goods and snacks that keep
If you want souvenirs that don't need chilling and keep for a while, the dry-goods group is the easiest to carry. You'll find them at the souvenir shops along Mittraphap Road, Pak Chong market and the night bazaar.
- Pak Chong Chinese sausage (kun chiang) — sweet-savoury sausage is a local specialty, with several makers in Pak Chong market. Vacuum-packed and easy to carry home.
- Sun-dried beef/pork and sweet jerky — high-protein dry goods, easy to fry up and long-keeping. Find them at souvenir shops and Farm Chokchai.
- Sweet tamarind and dried fruit — thick-fleshed sweet tamarind, raisins, dried strawberries and almonds are all popular souvenirs around here.
- Local-brand puffs/sticks — light and crisp, several flavours, long-keeping and good for handing out to a crowd.
- Chilli pastes and local preserves — dry chilli pastes and traditional seasonings, jarred and ready to carry home.
Markets open at set times
Pak Chong Night Bazaar comes alive in the evening and into the night, while many of the souvenir shops along Mittraphap Road open during the day. Plan your stops to match the hours so you can get everything, and on long holiday weekends it gets busy and some items sell out fast — going early is the safer call.
Planning a shopping route without wearing yourself out
Khao Yai and Pak Chong souvenirs are spread along Mittraphap Road and around Pak Chong town, so you can string them into a route on the way in or the way back — no need to loop around several times.

Save the fresh stuff for last
Inside Khao Yai National Park the roads are winding and wild animals can cross at any time, so drive slowly and take extra care in the evening and at night. Park entry is charged separately (40 THB for Thai adults, 400 THB for foreigners — check the current rate at the gate). Most of the souvenirs are outside the park boundary, so you can stop for them without going through the gate.
