“As well as simply enjoying the pleasant country atmosphere and taking part in fun activities on the farm, visitors will also learn about how His Majesty the King has devoted his time and efforts to help improve the quality of life of Thai farmers. This is why the farm offers an educational and inspirational day out for everybody.”
So a day touring the Chang Hua Man Royal project can be a very instructive excursion where everyone, young and old, can learn about the traditional life of Thai farmers over the years, as well as a little about organic farming and some of the many fruits that are grown in the kingdom; such as, bananas, papaya, pineapple and dragon fruit. There is also a demonstration on how green energy can be created by harnessing wind power.
Visitors are free to roam all over the farming area and are even encouraged to pull on some wellington boots and get their hands dirty with some real crop planting or gathering in the rice paddies. This is a great summer holiday experience, especially for city kids who so often lose touch with where their food comes from and how it is grown.
Mr. Thawatchai Arunyik, TAT Governor, said, “Thanks to the contribution of His Majesty the King, this plot of land not only serves as a vital learning centre for farmers in the area, but has also become an attraction in its own right with people coming here from all over the country to enjoy a slice of rural life. In fact, it is one of the most visited attractions in Phetchaburi province.
