Agricultural Occupation Promotion and Development Center Chanthaburi Provincial

Agricultural Occupation Promotion and Development Center Chanthaburi Provincial (Bee), or called shortly as “Bee Center Chanthaburi,” is located in the village number 1, Makham Sub-district, Makham District, Chanthaburi Province, approximately 13 kilometers from the city center. It is not hard to go to the center by taking Chanthaburi- Sa Kaeo route. The Bee Center Chanthaburi is an institute from the Department of Agricultural Extension. The center has to provide the information about bees and other economic insects through the training projects which are arranged intermittently. The projects include breeding bees, using bees for pollination, raising stingless bees for agriculture, processing bee and stingless bee products, or raising crickets. These are for the farmers to apply the knowledge they acquire to increase their products without having to expand their agricultural areas. This can result in increasing household incomes. Apart from being a learning center of bees and economic insects, this place is also another interesting agricultural tourist attraction. Inside the Bee Center Chanthaburi, the tourists can enjoy seeing the plants which are displayed and decorated beautifully. They can also gain more knowledge from different learning spots, which are about raising honey bees, raising stingless bees, raising crickets, raising Indian honey bees, and processing bee products. In addition, the tourists can also choose and buy many types of bee products, such as honey, royal jelly, bee pollen, and bee wax, as a souvenir. Opening time and day: Every day from 8.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. Admission Fee: None. For more information, contact 0 3938 9245. Website: http://www.aopdb02.doae.go.th/home.html
