Museum of Thai Agricultural Way of Life

       The way of the 'Cool Thai Farmer'—following the King’s Science by wisely managing abundant resources in both genetics and topography. This serves as the origin of culture, traditions, and local wisdom that enable Thai farmers to have food, provisions, savings, and dignity, living a sufficient lifestyle with surplus to share, thereby creating sustainable happiness for themselves and their communities. The exhibition is divided into various zones as follows:

       1) Power of the Land, Power of Abundance Rich topography and natural resources suitable for diverse agricultural practices, complemented by traditions and customs aligned with the seasons and local ways of life. This is conveyed through the musical film 'Cool Thai Farmer,' reflecting happy farmers who have food, provisions, savings, and dignity—living sufficiently, sharing and helping one another, and building a happy society.

       2) So Cool... Examples of new-generation Thai farmers from the Agricultural Museum network nationwide who steadfastly adhere to and practice agriculture according to the King's Philosophy, appropriately adapting it to their own lifestyles until achieving success. This is a kind of 'coolness' that sparks and inspires people to turn their attention back to agriculture.

       3)"Cool... in the Thai Way Cool... Thai Taste’ in the style of sticky rice with dried fish topping—a dish born of wisdom that harmoniously blends savory and sweet flavors into a perfect taste. Additionally, the zone features various forms of basketry that reflect the lifestyle and culture of communities and localities, creating a truly authentic and unique ‘Cool in the Thai Way’ identity.

       4) Agriculture of the 'King's Science' Makes Thai Farmers 'Cool' An exhibition showcasing the royal addresses, royal counsels, and royal admonitions of His Majesty the King and the Royal Family, allowing us to pay tribute to the boundless grace and kindness of those who bestowed these concepts, and who continue to preserve, develop, and build upon the philosophy of the Sufficiency Economy and New Theory Agriculture. This serves as a guideline for Thai farmers to apply in creating careers and sustaining themselves independently with dignity and sustainability.
