Leave from the jetty at Wat chai Mongkol and travel north out of the city. The river soon shows its true rural identity as city bridges pass from view and are replaced by scenes of wide water stretching from green tree-lined bank to bank until you reach your destination - the " Thai Farmer's house". Agriculture remains Thailand's largest source of income and here visitors can discover the basic elements-rice, local herbs, fruits, fishing- all thriving in a chemical -free environment.
