Rice...the way of life



I see  beautiful golden rice fields along the road to my work.  It is good  to see the rice field  from the beginning until the time of harvesting. It is also very good to breath and smell the rice while walking along the field.

Harvesting time has come and the farmers will earn after their hard working in the field.  Some farmers already select seedstock for next year crop. They walk through the rice field to find the best ear of rice from different locations in the filed. Then they dry the seedstocks under the sun. They have different ways to dry the seedstocks which is very intersting to see.

Rice plays very important role to the way of life of Thai people. We have rice as the main course and many of our traditions and ceremonies linked to the belief on rice.
