Plaeng Nah Sathit (แปลงนาสาธิต)
Thai.
‘Demonstration field’. Name of a green plot of land along
Sri Nagarindra
Road in
Bangkok's
khet
Bangkapi, aims to introduce and
publicize upcountry-style farming to city dwellers. It consists of some
rice
fields and a water pond with
fish,
ducks and
geese,
including some
duckweed,
as well as some effigies of
live stock.
The small-scale theme park-like attraction is hence somewhat reminiscent of the
royal
tritsadie mai concept,
which was introduced in
1992 by King
Bhumipon Adunyadet
in order to improve agriculture for small landowners, with the aim to become
self-supporting.
