Romantic Ranch, Romantic Encounters – Thailand’s A Cup of Love

Article & Photography / Li Xinyi

While Bangkok is often the most vivid impression people have of Thailand, this vast and resource-rich country boasts countless tourist attractions waiting to be explored. Located in Nakhon Ratchasima Province in northeastern Thailand, within the Wang Nam Keaw region (known as "Green Water Bay" in Thai), there is a place called A Cup of Love. It's a ranch beloved by local couples and also offers dining and accommodation.

Since it’s named “A Cup of Love,” most visitors here are couples. Whether under windmills, in sheep pens, or by the pond, every spot makes for a breathtaking view. Throughout the park, you’ll often see sweet moments of boyfriends taking memorable photos for their girlfriends with cameras in hand. Of course, you can also sit in the café, gaze at the windmills, ponds, and horses grazing nearby, and soak in the romantic European vibe — all without traveling abroad.

For 50 baht, you can buy milk or feed to feed the adorable sheep. Some people hold hay while others hold milk to feed them, but it turns out the little lambs love milk the most and show little interest in the hay. Their skilled technique of drinking milk surprises everyone. If you’re lucky, the sheep may be herded onto the grassy field, where you can take photos with them or even experience running together on the pasture.
