Bluespunk Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 "DOAE Director General Olan Pitak said the agricultural tourism is focused on allowing tourists to experience farmers’ way of life and local agricultural practices." So which aspects of the farmer's way of life, exactly are we talking about here? Debt? Poverty? Back breaking labour? Not being paid for your crops? Can't see anyone going for those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NongKhaiKid Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Come up to Isan and watch the backbreaking job of planting and harvesting rice it's riveting. Is this to be home stay or will the tourists stay in a nice hotel and go out for a couple of hours each day to watch the toil ? What's the next idea of the tourist promotion conveyor belt ?

HerbalEd Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 What a bare-minimum sparsely informative article. I could actually be interested in this program if I had a way of finding out more. Sure I can probably dig it out somehow through google, but with a professionally written article I wouldn't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
