Right after breakfast at your hotel in Bangkok, meet your English speaking guide and other participants on this full day tour lauds in a day of fun-filled activity, built around rice. To gain access to the local wetlands and agricultural region, we have to leave the big city and move into the rural areas. Taking main and back roads, you soon will surround yourself with an overflow of local immersion, where green and local villages form the décor of your endeavours to get an insight in rice farming. Upon arrival at a local village, home of some of the country’s experts in rice planting, harvesting and drying, you will immediately become a part of the community. See how life moves on in a steady, slow pace as you prepare yourself for a day out in the fields. It is all hands-on from now – learning to work a plough, plant the rice strain at the right depths by hand, and learn the rice growing process until harvesting comes into play. A simple lunch at the village is included – one that requires you to roll up your sleeves and assist cooking local Thai food.
After a short intro in Thai cooking by the village residence, we head out to another source of income for the region and another sample of deliciousness, frequently associated with Thailand. Thai fruits are growing in abundance around the villages and you will witness how these plantations are tended with care and respect. Finally, before making your way back to Bangkok, you learn all about the involvement of the Late King Rama 9 in pursuing a self-sustainable economic model via agriculture. Via Thailand’s longest cement dam, we make our way back into city life and your accommodation in Bangkok.
