BBBBB Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hi. My dad is coming to visit me in January. He has been a farmer for fifty years and would love to see some sort of farming up close in Thailand. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Ideally the farm would be within driving distance of Bangkok. Any other trade shows, farm museums, agricultural places of interest I should research? I know that Kasetsart holds an agri show at the end of January so he may still be here for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancealot Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Get involved with an easy Thai woman. Pretend she is your current GF and take your dad to her farm. Family is first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaanAussie Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 If you have time, then plan a tour heading north of Bangkok and you can include the ag musuem and several research centres, natural farming training centre and a variety of farms, rice, shrimp, fish, pigs and different crops.

ozzydave Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 There is lots of different type of farming in TH - perhaps it would help to be more specific - rubber, rice, livestock(pig, chicken, buffalo, beef, goat etc), fish, etc Dont expect any broad acre farming though.

cooked Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 If you drive out of Bankok towards Sarburi there is a dairy farm, a winery and a couple of others I think, open to the public. Cabbages and condoms is worth googling, they work as a cooperative and do some good work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
