It's that time of year: Rice Harvesting

As harvesting rice is such a big thing in Thailand, we were able to help out with the harvesting one Sunday. It wasn't for the whole day but I didn't mind as it was HOT and I wouldn't have survived 1 hour let alone 24. We managed to do it for about half and hour as we had to borrow somebodies sickle/rice cutting thing.


It was really fun even though we were aware of the sharpness of the blade. It was funny as we had taken somebodies sickle so they just had to stand there while we did a not so perfect job as harvesting rice. When he got the sickle thing back, he had to go over out bit to get the bits we missed.

Afterwards, we were able to sit on one of the farming vehicles.


A really fun day even though it was really hot and we weren't too good at the harvesting part.
