Floodplains in Thailand’s Lower Chao Phraya River Basin play a vital role in urban flood protection, yet smallholder farmers bear the hidden costs. As the Chao Phraya 2 canal nears completion, policy reform is urgent—integrating Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES), agroecology, and peri-urban safeguards to ensure resilience is shared, not shifted.

ชาวซอยกาติ๊บจ่ายตลาดที่ไหน
In Ari’s Katib Lane over 70 years ago, daily life once revolved around shared meals, woven kinship, and frugal wisdom. Grandmothers led market routines with woven baskets and handwritten budgets. Food came wrapped in banana leaves, not plastic. Behind the gates, thrift met care—feeding twenty-two relatives with grace, memory, and quiet resilience.

จากบ้านหัวเวียงมาบ้านซอยกาติ๊บ….
From a riverside home in Ayutthaya to a modest green house in Katib Lane (original name before Ari Lane), our family carried not just furniture—but memory, resilience, and quiet grace. Each reused door, each tea set, holds stories of migration, political unrest after the 1947 Thai coup d'état, and kinship. Home is not built—it’s remembered, restored, and lived through generations.

เรื่องเล่าจากลาดบัวหลวงถึงหลวงประสิทธิ์นรกรรม
In Ayutthaya’s lowland fields, my grandfather turned retirement into regeneration—donating land, guiding farmers, and founding Luang Prasit Market. Seventy years later, I return to the same soil with my brother and his orchard. Our family’s journey continues: from horseback through forests since my grandfather's time to one-hour drives, still rooted in care and community.
My journey on becoming a farmer in permanent agriculture
In Ayutthaya’s reclaimed soil, I began farming with no background—just curiosity and care. Mangoes survived, herbs surprised me, and failures taught more than manuals. This journey in permanent agriculture isn’t about yield alone, but about listening to land, honouring time, and growing roots deeper than crops.
