By Gregers Moller arm de Lek is located in Klong 15, in Rangsit off the road from Bangkok to Nakon Nayok about an hour drive from central Bangkok. The name comes from the original owner, Khun Lek, but since Lek in the Thai language also means ‘small’ it could not fit any better.Today, the farm and all its amazing activities for families with children is run by Khun Lek’s Granddaughter Gaye Pantrat. The farm has horses, goats, pigs, hens, ducks, rabbits and fish and the young visitors join in feeding them, gathering eggs from the hen, ride the ponies and play in the big lake - safely with swim-vests strapped on. “Farm de Lek also promotes farming among kids, which has long been the lifeblood of this country,” Khun Gaye explains. “As technology has gradually taken over, we simply forget where our basic food comes from. We want to bring back a-nearly-lost agricultural culture to our children through fun, engaging experiences.” As the images show, kids are absorbed in the experience. Finally, here is something more engaging than their smart-phones! Farm de Lek Summer Camps are now open for booking for children age between 8-13 years old.
