Traditionally, and it was still almost the case during Guy Trébuil’s thesis in 1986, the agricultural practices follow this typology : in the eastern part (Bo Daeng), the farming systems were mainly composed of mixed gardens and orchards, with quite small pieces of land to grow those crops. In the western part of the transect, in Tahin area, the farming systems areas used to be bigger, and farmers used to grow rainfed lowland rice, raising some breeds of cattle and benefit from the sugar palm production. This ‘palmtree’ grows almost naturally in this region: farmers can extract the sap from the top of the palmtree, and can harvest the fruits from female trees. Fishing is also developed in both sides of the transect: the lagoon is almost full with fresh water coming from small rivers around, whereas there are also fishermen by the seaside, in Bo Daeng tambon.
