Join us on an unforgettable cultural experience on a working rice farm in Thailand's culinary heartland.
Each of the experiences is thoughtfully designed to immerse you in the world of rice farming in Thailand.
Water Buffalo Encounter
Learn about the fascinating and traditional role of water buffalo in rice farming. You'll get up close and personal with these magnificent creatures, including a rare pink buffalo valued at over 1 million baht, adding an exotic twist to your journey.
Traditional Planting & Harvesting
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.
Seasonal Flexibility
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.
Triple Dehusking Methods
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.
Khanom Khrok Crafting
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. The reward? The sweet, smoky flavour of a treat you've crafted with your own hands.
Taste The Experience
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.
Farmers' Lunch
Complete your adventure with a farmers' lunch served on a lotus leaf. This isn't just a meal; it's a cultural experience that encapsulates the flavours, textures, and traditions of Thai agriculture in one delicious package.

WHY BOOK DIRECTLY WITH US?
Benefits of Booking Directly
- ALTERATIONS
Any alterations to your tour date or time can be conveyed directly, rather than through a third party; this includes changing to a cheaper, or more expensive tour (requiring either a refund or additional payment), something almost impossible to do with an Online Travel Agent (OTA) - SOLO TRAVELLERS
Our tours require a minimum of 2 persons to commence. To avoid cancellation due to insufficient numbers, if you are a solo traveller, contact us directly and we will do our utmost to get you on the tour you desire. An OTA has no such capability
