Scenic Stay and Harvest<br />
The Farmer’s Boutique Resort may sound like a contradiction, yet it’s not. Absolutely, the resort grounds<br />
with its 45 charm<strong>in</strong>g villas <strong>in</strong> 4 allur<strong>in</strong>g styles suit a need for peaceful relaxation. And the scenic nature and<br />
spectacular rice fields that embrace the resort provide a unique experience – a lesson on rice. This beloved<br />
and crucial staple ever present on d<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g tables becomes more relevant when its virtues are learned<br />
alongside the resort’s farmers. So exchange beachwear for more comfortable rice-plant<strong>in</strong>g garb – maybe<br />
even a traditional mor-hom (<strong>in</strong>digo-dyed cotton outfit) and ga<strong>in</strong> knowledge on rice. Guests can plant and<br />
give their crop a name <strong>in</strong> the resort’s paddy fields. The resort will make sure to take care <strong>of</strong> the plant and<br />
give monthly updates with photos for 6 months.<br />
