If you though planting rice in the paddy field is an easy job, then you’ll find out the exact opposite. While at the same time trying not slip and fall face down in the mud, you enter barefoot a small paddy field with rice sapling in your hand and plant them in neat rows. It is literally backbreaking work and the scorching sun above has no mercy on you either.
Once you understood how difficult it is to be a farmer, you can move on exploring the rest of the village. There’s still plenty to do, including learning how to use a fishing net, how to gather hay with a pitchfork, and how to care for the buffalos. After you’ve gone through through the daily motions of a typical Thai farmer, it’s time to relax.
