Our journey starts with the verdant rice fields, highlighting traditional farming techniques. We cultivate three types of rice: versatile white rice, nutritious black rice with a distinct flavor, and striking pink rice that adds sweetness and visual allure. Each type is meticulously cared for to honor Thailand's culinary tradition.
