First step of the rice season 2020 in Pua

Image
It is that time of the year again, juist before the real raining season begins. The local farmers of Ban Hia are preparing the rice fields for the next season. The first thing is that the rice fields are cleared of the remains from the previous harvest of corn, vegetables, garlic, etc. Unfortunately most of that remains are burned. Then the rice fields are plowed and some paddies are filled with water. Living near the mountains there is always water. This is done a bit early so frog will start to live in the water, what gives at night a wonderful frog concert. Of course the local farmers will eat the frog, especially the very young frogs. So you will see people with fishing nets walking thru the water. While in the meanwhile a group of farmers is working on 1 dry piece of paddy. This will stay dry and will be used to grown the first stage of the rice plants. How? Well first with a big stick holes are punched into the soil. Then a lady comes and puts a small hand-full of rice grains i…

A dragon with money at Wat Nong Bua

Image
Temples are always a good place to make photos, like at the Wat Nong Bua in Ban Nong Bua, about 45 km north of Nan city in North Thailand. A beautiful temple with old Tai Lue murals. And at the entrance of the temple are dragons to protect the temple. And people put coins in the open mouth of the dragon, of course for good luck. Because this temple is far out of town not many tourists do visit this temple. And that is why I like this temple. Highly recommended!

Another first step of the rice season 2020 in Pua

Image
When at the moment traveling in North Thailand you will see farmers preparing for the next rice season. I did write about it last week, it is that time of the year again, juist before the real raining season begins. The local farmers of Ban Hia are preparing the rice fields for the next season. The first thing is that the rice fields are cleared of the remains from the previous harvest of corn, vegetables, garlic, etc. Unfortunately most of that remains are burned. Then the rice fields are plowed and filled one time with water. Then they will plant rice that later will be replanted into a paddy with water. Now there are different ways of doing this first phase of the rice planting. Here you will see that the rice is first grown at home in containers and this containers are now put on the rice fields. And then covered with a screening. Following are more photos, all photos are made right in front of our homestay Non Na Pua. For more information about Nan province see Destination Trave…

Did the raining season of 2020 finally begin?

Image
Two days ago we had some rain and yesterday was a reasonable cool day, only 35℃. The forecast for last night was rain but that did not materialise until this early morning when the sky was dark and we finally had a lot of rain. And it looks like we are going to have more rain today. We hope that the forecast of more rain following week will true. Rain will clear the sky, stop the burning and is good for the farmers & our garden. And the views over the rice fields will be beautiful!

Second step of the rice season 2020 in Pua

Image
In my serie of farming this week the farmers started with the second step of the rice season of this year. You might remember the posting about the first step where the farmers plant rice on small dry plots of land. Well that was 2 weeks ago and the rice has been growing fast to small size now. So now begins the second step and that is replanting this rice on bigger plot of land that are full of water. Here that is done very carefully and the rice is planted in rows. In the early morning a group of farmers meet to first take the small rice out of the small plot of land and make small bundles of them. Then they are brought to a larger plot of land with water, most times just next to the small plot of land. And then the rice bundles are planted in small parts in a line. After one plot is done the all group of farmers move to the next plot from another farmer. Following are more photos of rice farming in Pua, all made by my wife while having a chat with the farmers.
