Thung Kula Ronghai has become a Well-Known Rice Producing Area of Thailand

Historically, Thung Kula Ronghai used to be under water, which is why it looks like a large basin. The soil has a mixture of sand and soil with Sodium and Silica, which has a low fertility rate. It was discovered that there is a high amount of salt and rock salts mixed in the soil. In some areas, there are up to 250 meters deep of rock salts in the soil. The upper most level of the soil is a mix of sand and crumbly soil with medium acidity. The lower level of the soil is sandy and clay like, which is depleted soil. The weather in this area suffers from desert-like conditions during the dry season.

The five distratious conditions of the environment include: salinity in the soil, flooding during the rainy season, desert-like conditions, cold weather, and thick fog. With these five conditions, the rice plants go into stress, which releases a fragrance called “2AP” that makes Jasmine Rice from this area the best Jasmine Rice in the world.
