Who says there are no rice fields in Bangkok?
And mud-caked buffaloes? Plenty.
These two beasts are preparing for labour on rice paddies near Nimit Mai Road, in Nong Chok on the eastern outskirts of Bangkok. The area still boasts a vast expanse of rice fields. As recently as five years ago, it was still possible to see rice paddies in On Nut Road _ a kilometre from a BTS station _ though the unstoppable swelling of the city has driven them out.
