SINGAPORE – Recently, I went to a place called “joyful farm”. It was our firm’s yearly trip, and the six of us packed up and took a flight of around three hours to northern Chiang Rai province in Thailand.
Upon arrival, we travelled by minibus to our destination, a village located in Thoeng district. The Thai name of the place is Rai Ruen Rom Organic Farm and it spans 320,000 sq m. That is equivalent to about 45 football pitches.
