Tha Nam Horse House

บ้านม้าท่าน้ำ is a cultural horse venue, learning center and working carriage stable run by a local carriage driver and farrier. Horses, horse care and traditional carriage touring are its main activities. It is not a sports riding school, polo club, breeding stud or veterinary clinic.

Visitors can take a carriage tour of the historic Tha Ma-o neighborhood, stopping at landmarks such as the Louis T. Leonowens House and local temples. Hands-on activities include grooming, feeding and bathing horses in the Wang River, short introductory walks or rides, and live demonstrations of traditional blacksmithing and shoeing for carriage horses.

Crafts and workshops include lucky dreamcatchers set inside horseshoes, keychains made from horse mane hair, and painted horseshoes. Demonstrations of northern Thai sword dancing and martial arts are held now and then. The small stable has three stalls, with a vintage photo and carriage exhibit and a riverside coffee bar. The horses are sturdy local mixed-breed carriage horses. There are no arenas or riding trails, no accommodation, no horse sales and no veterinary services.
