Every year the school I go to, Thammasat University harvest its own rice to cook later in the year in May for the new incoming students. We were told 10 exchange students could go to harvest the rice since we had to take the bus to the other campus 45 minutes away. It was first come - first serve for the sign up list, I didn’t think much of it and I signed up. I have to say it was a great experience but it was not what I expected at all. Harvesting rice is a very laborious task and I was extremely tired after chopping the stalks of rice out from the rice fields. I’m just happy they fed us after we provided labor to them free of charge… They had a fun little Thai band playing the whole time we were in the field too and the water buffalo that help harvest the rice were also roaming around while we were in the fields, here are some pictures:
