Adm. Kraisorn Chansuvanich leads members of the Navy Wives Association, students from Sattahip schools, Royal Thai Navy personnel, civil servants and local residents to harvest Sanyod-style jasmine rice to honor HM the King.
Together they harvested Sangyod GI jasmine rice – the preferred strain of HM the King – at the Sufficiency Economy Learning Center at the Naval Recruit Training Center.
The admiral explained that the harvest was the first of two parts of the ceremony meant to promote HM the King’s sufficiency economy philosophy and honor tradition. A similar group planted the rice on Aug. 5, a week before HM the Queen’s birthday.
