Hiya guys.
Its time to start preparing some of our land for growing rice.
As most people know, growing rice for sale offers very little in return (although quite expensive to buy for eating).
Our idea is to grow about 5 rai for ourselves & our livestock. This should reduce the cost of giving the poultry pellet feed & provide free rice for the two of us for the year.
The additional advantages are: wild fish, crab, shrimp, snail, rats & birds. All are fun to catch, good eating, but also can be used as animal feed. Well thats the idea anyway!
We have never grown rice before so it may not go so well first time round.
Remember . . . He who dares wins (sometimes).

Welcome to Toon & Leigh porpeang farm Thailand (Youtube channel started April 2017).
We live in the quiet Prang Sila Thong district of Kampheang Phet.
The late King of Thailand ~ Rama IX (King Bhumibol Adulyadej) was a great teacher of leading a porpeang farming existence.
Porpeang centres around being as close to self sufficiency as possible & not concentrating on growing one crop. The selling of any surplus goes towards buying essentials such as clothes & fuel etc.
It is a way of life that creates very little waste, uses few chemicals & can help the local community.
The vast diversity that can be achieved within a small area is amazing & brings the farmer closer to nature.
Choosing to live the porpeang way can be a steep learning curve with livestock, fish, fruits & vegetables all needing care & attention.
In addition to the farm we are also constructing a jungle style fishing lake.

KAMPHAENG PHET
In the lower north of Thailand on the bank of the Ping River, Kamphaeng Phet is about halfway between Bangkok and Chiang Mai
Areas along the river bank at present-day city used to host several ancient towns which had played a major role as strategic front-lines since Sukhothai was the kingdom's capital down through the times of Ayutthaya and early Rattanakosin (Bangkok) eras. In fact, the name Kamphaeng Phet actually means "walls as strong as diamonds"
Its great history fell into oblivion & Kamphaeng Phet was an ordinary, smallish province city until the establishment of the historical park and its listing as a World Heritage site in 1991. Still, Kamphaeng Phet is—unlike its well-known neighbour Sukhothai—ignored by the main flow of tourists. Some may view this as a drawback, but those looking to experience the authentic, upcountry Thailand, are coming just to the right place
The province is subdivided in 11 districts:
Mueang Kamphaeng Phet
Sai Ngam
Khlong Lan
Khanu Woralaksaburi
Khlong Khlung
Phran Kratai
Lan Krabue
Sai Thong Watthana
Pang Sila Thong
Bueng Samakkhi
Kosamphi Nakhon
