Anchalee Pomelo Orchard (also spelled Anchalee Pomelo Orchard) is one of the high-quality pomelo orchards in Manorom District, Chainat Province. Located in the fertile Chao Phraya River basin, the area features rich alluvial soil that is especially suitable for cultivating the renowned “Khao Taeng Kwa” pomelo, a Geographical Indication (GI) fruit of Chainat. This local variety is well known for its delicate sweetness with a slight hint of acidity, firm and non-watery texture, pale white flesh, beautifully arranged segments, and a gentle natural fragrance that reflects its unique terroir.

The orchard stands out for its meticulous care at every stage of cultivation. From selecting premium grafted saplings and enriching the soil with organic fertilizers to carefully managing irrigation and wrapping the fruit to protect it from pests, every step is carried out with expertise. The farmers possess years of experience passed down through generations, ensuring consistent quality, standard fruit size, thin peel, good weight, and excellent storage life. These qualities make the pomelos suitable for both household consumption and commercial distribution.

Beyond selling freshly harvested pomelos, the orchard also serves as a learning center for those interested in GI pomelo cultivation. Students, agricultural enthusiasts, and visitors can learn about orchard management, pruning techniques, flower induction, fruit setting control, and proper harvesting methods to achieve the highest quality yield. During certain periods, there are also demonstrations on grading and packaging processes to enhance product value.

The atmosphere within the orchard is peaceful and lush, offering visitors a refreshing natural environment. During the harvest season, typically from August to October, the trees are filled with hanging green pomelos, creating a picturesque scene against the dark green foliage. Visitors may stroll through the orchard, take photographs, and, on some occasions, pick fresh pomelos directly from the trees—an experience that feels far more memorable than purchasing fruit from a regular market.

With its premium produce, careful cultivation practices, and role as a local agricultural learning hub, Anchalee Pomelo Orchard represents both the wisdom and pride of the Chainat community. For travelers passing through Manorom District, stopping by to visit the orchard and purchase fresh pomelos directly from the source is a rewarding experience—whether as a thoughtful souvenir or a delicious reminder of Chainat’s agricultural heritage.
