About The Chocolate Factory Khao Yai
The Chocolate Factory is a stylish hillside restaurant, cafe and chocolate-and-gift shop with valley views, and a well-known fixture on the Khao Yai cafe circuit. If you enjoy cafe-hopping and dessert, it's an easy, pleasant stop.
Manage your expectations on the name. Despite it, this is a commercial cafe and shop, not a working chocolate-factory tour. Come for the setting, the food and the sweets rather than a behind-the-scenes experience.
Late afternoon or evening is the nice time here, with dinner and a view. It's free to enter, you just pay for what you order, and weekends can get busy so weekdays are calmer.
