OVERVIEW

Delve into Thai farm life by watching demonstrations of traditional practices that offer a window into the rural world. The farmhouse is part of a cultural learning center where you will watch typical agricultural activities. Rice is a staple in Thailand so seeing it planted, milled to remove the unwanted outer layers and sifted for flour can be an eye-opening experience. You will also observe as rubber trees are tapped for their milky latex and as tin is panned in water to separate the metal. Although many farmers still perform these tasks by hand, in other areas of Thailand those jobs have been mechanized. Water buffaloes are used for certain farming chores, especially for plowing fields, and you can have your photo taken with one of these large but docile beasts. For a glimpse into the cuisine, you will watch curry paste being prepared from dried chili peppers. Free time for shopping will follow.
