What Makes It Special
Located in the picturesque Pak Chong district, The Chocolate Factory isn’t just a shop — it’s a culinary landmark. Designed with a charming and photogenic interior, it combines three experiences under one roof: a chocolate shop, a café, and a full-service restaurant.
From the moment you step inside, you’ll be greeted by the aroma of freshly made chocolates and baked goods, intricate displays of chocolate treats, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere perfect for families, couples, and chocolate lovers alike.
Chocolate Shop & Treats
At the heart of the experience is the chocolate shop zone — a treasure trove of artisanal chocolates, handmade confections, and sweets crafted daily. You’ll find classic favorites like dark and milk chocolate pieces, pralines, chocolate cookies, lemon pound cake, and seasonal specialties that go beyond the ordinary.

Chocolate Workshops — Hands On Fun
One of the highlights that sets The Chocolate Factory apart is its chocolate workshop experiences. These interactive sessions invite guests of all ages to get hands-on with chocolate, whether it’s decorating, painting designs with chocolate, or creating your own sweet masterpiece.
Workshops typically run at set intervals throughout the day, are suitable for kids and adults, and offer a fun way to learn about chocolate-making — with delicious results that you can take home. Prices (150 Thai Baht per pax as of Dec 2024) and formats can vary, so it’s a good idea to check with the staff when you arrive.

Dessert options here include gooey chocolate lava cakes, bingsu, brownies, and other bakery treats perfect with a cup of coffee or chocolate drink. Many visitors rave about the quality and creativity of the desserts — a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth.
