On December 23, 2024: SUT International Student visit to Jim Thompson Farm offered our students a captivating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Thailand’s Northeastern (Isan) region. The farm’s meticulously preserved traditional Isan houses stand as testament to the region’s architectural wisdom, featuring elevated wooden structures designed to combat flooding and tropical heat. Visitors can explore these authentic dwellings, complete with traditional farming tools, fishing equipment, rice milling apparatus, and traditional looms that vividly illustrate the daily lives of Isan people. The agricultural exhibitions demonstrate traditional rice farming methods, crop cultivation techniques, and animal husbandry practices that have been integral to Isan communities for generations. The cultural display provides an immersive experience into the sustainable lifestyle and resourceful nature of Northeastern Thai communities.
The farm’s expansive flower garden stands as another highlight, showcasing an impressive collection of both local and exotic blooms.
Visitors can stroll along well-designed pathways that wind through vibrant flower beds, offering countless photo opportunities and peaceful resting spots. The garden features a charming café where guests can relax and enjoy refreshments while surrounded by the beautiful floral displays.
