Visit to a goverment Rice research farm



A visit to a goverment experimental rice farm,

When we go out to buy rice at home in the ~Uk we buy the boil in the bag American stuff or if its a special occassion a wee bag of Tika for £5

In the Big C super market in BKK there is a whole isle with nothing but loads of different varieties of rice to choose from. dozens of varieties and flavours

It all starts here on the farm

This place at Sopanburi grows new varieties,

We had a delicious lunch - too spicy for my farang palate but tasty

The guy in the picture is popping rice to feed to the fish they kept in big lagoon.

We were given a bag of popcorn to feed the fish and they came up out of the brown waters rolled over on the surface like big grey sharks and gobbled up the popcorn
