All the fun of the farm | Bangkok Post: feature

Already well known for combining local agricultural practices with a living showcase of the traditional arts and culture of the Northeast, Jim Thompson Farm in Nakhon Ratchasima opens its gates this weekend to welcome tour parties and day-trippers for a three-week period.

Apart from the chance to see how animals and crops are raised and buy fresh produce, the Isan-lifestyle aspect of the farm has been expanded with a "Korat Village", comprising seven different types of Korat-style house scattered across a 50-rai plot of land.

Phahonchai Premjai, the architect who designed the farm, noted that when it first opened 14 years ago it was a small but sustainable project occupying only 10 rai of land.
