The province of Nan is located in the north of Thailand and borders Laos. It is one of the lesser known provinces of Thailand, but is known for its natural beauty. Rice planting is one important agricultural activity in Thailand and it is part of the country's culture and traditions. The rice planting process in Thailand starts with preparing the soil. The farmers plow the soil to loosen it and provide it with nutrients. Then the rice seeds are planted in separate beds. After the seeds have germinated, the young rice plants are planted on the rice fields. These rice fields are usually arranged in terraces to better manage the water and ensure even irrigation. Planting rice is usually done manually, where the farmers manually put the rice plant into the ground. After planting, the fields are usually immersed in water to protect the rice plants from weeds and pests. After about 4 to 6 months, the rice is fully grown and ready to be harvested. After harvesting, the rice grains are washed and dried before being stored or sold at the market. Rice is an important source of food in Thailand and is used in many dishes from curries to fried rice dishes.

Planting rice together is an important tradition in Thailand and often seen as a social activity. This process is called "กฤษณา หรือ งานกฤษณา" in Thai and is usually performed between May and July, during the rainy season. When planting rice together, the local communities come together to plant rice together. This is not only a way to complete the rice harvest, but also an opportunity to strengthen social bonds within the community. The process of planting rice together usually starts with choosing a suitable location and preparing the soil. Then the rice is planted in separate beds. The young rice plants are then planted in the rice fields by the community participants, who usually work in rows. During the rice planting, participants are entertained with music and singing, and food and drink are often shared. This creates a festive atmosphere and contributes to strengthening community ties. After the harvest, the rice is then distributed among the community participants according to the amount of work they have contributed to the process. It is an important tradition that is still carried on in many parts of Thailand.

De provincie Nan is gelegen in het noorden van Thailand en grenst aan Laos. Het is één van de minder bekende provincies van Thailand, maar staat bekend om zijn natuurlijke schoonheid. Rijstplanten is één belangrijke landbouwactiviteit in Thailand en het is een onderdeel van de cultuur en de tradities van het land. Het proces van rijstplanten in Thailand begint met het voorbereiden van de grond. De boeren ploegen de grond om deze los te maken en te voorzien van voedingsstoffen. Vervolgens worden de rijstzaden in aparte bedden geplant. Nadat de zaden zijn ontkiemd, worden de jonge rijstplantjes uitgeplant op de rijstvelden. Deze rijstvelden zijn meestal ingedeeld in terrassen om het water beter te kunnen beheren en te zorgen voor een gelijkmatige irrigatie. Het planten van rijst wordt meestal handmatig gedaan, waarbij de boeren het rijstplantje met de hand in de grond steken. Tijdens het planten van de rijst worden de deelnemers vermaakt met muziek en zang, en wordt er vaak eten en drinken gedeeld. Na het planten worden de velden meestal ondergedompeld in water om de rijstplanten te beschermen tegen onkruid en ongedierte. Bij het samen rijst planten komen de lokale gemeenschappen bij elkaar om samen rijst te planten. Dit is niet alleen een manier om de rijstoogst te voltooien, maar ook een gelegenheid om de sociale banden binnen de gemeenschap te versterken. Na ongeveer 4 tot 6 maanden is de rijst volgroeid en klaar om geoogst te worden. Na de oogst wordt de rijst dan verdeeld onder de deelnemers van de gemeenschap, afhankelijk van de hoeveelheid werk die ze hebben bijgedragen aan het proces. De rijst wordt dan opgeslagen of verkocht op de markt. Rijst is een belangrijke bron van voedsel in Thailand en wordt gebruikt in veel gerechten, van curry's tot gebakken rijstgerechten.
