Agriculture under the Royal Patronage of Thai Kings
             

     Thailand’s highly celebrated prosperity as the ‘granary of the Suvannbhumi, or the golden land in the middle of Southeast Asia, is attributable to both its relatively fertile ‘land and waters’, and the genius of Thailand’s great monarchs from times immemorial until the present days, who, each in their turn, have been painstakingly promoted agriculture and cultivation, enhancing the livelihood of their populace – a series ofendeavours unrivalled nowhere else in the entire world.
     
With the supreme genius and boundless grace of the Thai monarchs from the Sukhothai period down to the Bangkok period over a time span of over 700 years, Thailand's agricultural sector has consistently undergone stages of progress. Thai farmers who have followed into footsteps of the kings's initiatives have enjoyed relative prosperity in this golden land. Their majesties' genius and grace have also laid the foundations for Thailand's sustainable security and wealth as a granary for the world population and as a kitchen for the world in the future.
