Description: |
|
Somdet Phra Srinagarindra Park is located in Tambon Sam Phraya
at Km. 214-215 on Phetchakasem Road, covering a total area of
340 rai. It was granted an Award of Excellence in the category
of Agricultural Tourist attractions at the Thailand Tourism
Awards 2002. It is operated by the Chaipattana Foundation with
an aim to study the appropriate form of mixed cultivation for
the local environment that once suffered deforestation and has
been restored to its fertile condition. This has been done by
providing a source of water side by side with planting. The
result of successful experiments will then be transferred to
farmers to enhance sustainable agriculture. There are several
spots of interest for the public to visit; namely, mixed
cultivation, New Theory farming, toxic free cultivation, organic
cultivation, forest farming, use of vetiver grass in the
planting system, use of herbal plants, etc. There is also a
collection of plants with fragrant flowers, including 300
species of perennial, bushy, creeping and medicinal ones.
Traditional Thai massage is available. (A group visit requiring
a guide should contact in advance. Meals and accommodation can
be provided.) It is open daily from 8.00 a.m.-5.00 p.m. |
