Rice Harvesting Ceremony

Rice Harvesting
Ceremony
A once-a-year
ceremony of rice harvesting took place in Kamphaun Village in Ranong
District. This rice harvesting ceremony was organized by Muan Mit Thai
Foundation, who works closely with the community group and women’s workshop in
the village. It was a great opportunity to appreciate the rice, and lean
about traditions of the harvest and get to know people in the N-ACT network
(North Andaman Community Tourism Network).
Kamphuan
village is located 25 km North of Kuraburi, and surrounded by palm and rubber
plantations. The ceremony was held at the rice field, located behind the
main village area, gathered nearly 100 children from several schools and
villages in the region and attracted many community representatives, and N-ACT
members.
Nicole,
Katherine and George from the USA, who were taking part in an Andaman Discovery
Homestay program, also joined the ceremony. They were able to participate
in rice harvesting with the local community and experience the traditional
method of harvesting and husking, which is done by using basic wooden
equipment, same as 100’s of yeas ago. The group commented that this was such a
unique and special ceremony to be part of; they felt so luck to be invited at
this special time.
The local
villagers demonstrated their traditional ways of getting the rice out of its
shell. First, they harvest the rice from the field with a knife; then
they stamp on the rice to separate it from the straw; then husk the rice with
the wooden equipment; separating the rice from its shell.
We also enjoyed
the delicious Thai dishes prepared by the villagers. They served us some
curry with rice noodles and fresh vegetables. We even had the chance to
interact with some local children who wanted to practice their English.
