Students, lecturers and staff at Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna Phitsanulok planted Thai Hom Mali rice seedlings on Thursday in a tribute to Their Majesties the Queen and the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
University vice president Tinnagon Tartrakoon formally launched the project, known as “Plookkhao Peumae Keb-kiew Peuphor” (“Growing Rice for Mother, Harvesting Rice for Father”), at the school’s five-rai demonstration rice field.
The project honours Their Majesties for their support for research, development and promotion of Thai rice, strains of which have become well known around the world.
