Highlights

  • Whether it’s planting season from August to November, or harvest time from December to July, we tailor your experience to fit the agricultural calendar. You'll get an authentic experience relevant to the time of your visit


  • Change into authentic farming attire and step into the paddy to plant your own rice stalks. This immersive experience not only educates but adds a sense of personal connection and fun, as you get your hands muddy planting the seeds of future harvests


  • Participate in the age-old practice of rice dehusking through three distinct methods. You'll experience the rhythmic pounding of mortar and pestle, the elegant tossing in a wicker basket, and the manual grind of a stone mill. Each offers a unique, hands-on experience that brings you closer to the essence of Thai rice farming


  • Make your own Khanom Khrok, a Thai street food snack, by preparing coconut milk from scratch. From soaking the rice to stone grinding, to the final charcoal cook-off, you'll master each step


  • Indulge in an array of rice-based delights from rice tea to rice wafers and even rice wine. This culinary expedition allows you to both create and consume, offering a feast for your senses and new knowledge to take home
