How Rice is Made in Thailand 🇹🇭

The process of making tons of rice in a Thailand Factory is amazing. The staple of Thai Street Food, rice. But it's not just here, Thailand is the world's 2nd biggest exporter of rice. But how do they produce so much from small family farms. This video will show you how it's made and take you for a unique look at the process of taking paddy rice and turning it into high quality white rice ready for export. This is How It's Made: Thai Rice.

Thai jasmine rice is my absolute favourite. On a completely different level to any other rice I've had.

[@ShaunChee1998]

Guess u haven’t had Taiwanese or Korean rice

[@alexvikendi1768]

It's a bit like wheat (well totally if you think a bit about it) ... Nearly endless varieties. Yeah what you call yasmine Rice is good, easy to Cook and relatively cheap. I agree that's the best Rice for the money since a while but it doesn't go with everything because well it has that unique "perfume"/flavor. The priority today is like (hard) wheat, using a minimum of water per sq/ft (ha) so the next few years are gonna be interesting for farmers, old, tough varieties and their hybrids might have an emerging market again internationaly. Cheers

[@culinarc7741]

You never seem to stop coming up with good new ideas. I live here and have always wondered how that process works as these facilities are all over. Thank you I enjoyed that.

[@scottwatson9453]

Mind boggling the ingenuity in creating all those different machines!! .Great fun and informative video .Once again !

[@LasseInSurin]

Interesting to see from inside an industrial rice mill. Me and wife bought a 25 rai rice field a number of yours ago to grow our own rice. (1 rai = 40x40 meters). We sold most of the rice to a big rice mill but kept what we needed for a year. Many farmer villages has a small rice mill where the villagers are milling the rice for own use. We took our rice to my wifes home village for milling the rice. We sold the rice field 6-7 years ago. BTW, we were growing Jasmine rice.

[@mikeyboy3054]

I had no idea how much was involved in exporting rice. My wife's family are rice farmers of mainly sticky rice and it is true generationally the family splits up it's large plots of farmland to family members. Interesting video.

[@sirwilliamelliott]

This is the type of content you should be making now imho. We don't need more Thailand vlogs or "new law" news updates. You are a legend, and this seems like the next evolution I wanted to see from you. Well done!

[@markslupe7197]

Right now in the village where I live the farmers are beginning to harvest the Jasmine rice. These local farmers will then lay out large tarps in an open area and spread out the rice onto them. They rake it back and forth so it can dry before taking it to the processing facility. Some the rice will be sold and some will be kept for themselves to eat, rather than buy rice at the store.

[@cdenver]

My Thai girl gets very angry when the blue tarps come out 555. Her family are rice farmers, her village roads are covered in the tarps and some locals dont care about cars and they take over the road and my girl cant drive into her family home because of this 555555

[@d-tarcmarketmedia]

Please how do you fight birds from the Rice 🌾 field? Please help me, because am going through a lot of challenges at my place

[@markslupe7197]

I've not seen any actions to prevent the birds from eating rice in the fields or during the drying. However, at night they cover the drying rice with tarps.@@d-tarcmarketmedia

[@mark-hanna]

WOW Chris, I have a new appreciation for the amount of effort it takes to get a little rice in my meal. Very informative video.

My family farms rice and crawfish in central Louisiana and coffee in Puerto Rico, papa’s farm, now. Ripe fields smell like peanut butter, thousands of acres, so different! We have about 4k acres, our neighbor 12k and they have their own mill. They mill our long grain.

[@andreww3621]

Ripe fields of what?

[@jray7949]

You are the best! I never thought I’d be watching rice processing video. But I watched the whole thing, like all your videos. Keep it up👍. Thanks to you I really want to see Thailand.

[@DreamofThailand19000]

Thai farmers work very hard. A lot of times, they lost the rice to the bad weather, either drought or flood. But the worst case scenario is when mill owners give farmers the low price of rice. The mill owners are the rich ones!

นายทุนและพ่อค้าคนกลาง รวยเอารวยเอา เกษตรกรไทย จนเอาจนเอา ต้องพึ่งพิงรัฐช่วยตลอด แต่รัฐบาลยุคไหนๆก็ไม่เคยมีนโยบายจริงใจจริงจัง มีแต่เข้าทางนายทุนและพ่อค้าคนกลางตลออ (ลูกหลานเกษตรกรที่อยู่แบบพอเพียงเป็นหลัก จนตอนนี้ล้วนหันไปทำอย่างอื่น เฮ้อ)

Wow - amazing! I just got back from a drive doing the Mae Hong Son loop, and was wondering how the rice is processed, and here are the details. Thanks for this video. 🍚🇹🇭 PS, I’m using the Teenee app on my travels. 👍🏼 PPS, another interesting video would be on how all the corn in the highlands is brought to market. Doesn’t look like much mechanized harvest equipment, lots of handpicking, and lots of small trucks carting it out to larger collection points. Lots of hand work going on out there!

Great video. I love this channel! However seeing a family harvest the rice at the start of the video would have taken the video the next level. To see the ‘full chain’. But great nonetheless. 5+ years in Thailand and I’ve never seen rice being harvested.

[@user-uo9cl1ld7n]

Thank you I love you

[@D.H.1987]

now i still don't know where the rice grains come from from those green plants

[@DreamofThailand19000]

Actually, rice grains comes from ear of rice. The video only shows the beginning of planting rice. It takes several months for the rice plant to grow and produce ear of rice🌾 At that time, green rice field will turn to yellow which is the color of rice grain.That is when the harvest begins.

[@D.H.1987]

@@DreamofThailand19000 thank you. But how is the harvest done? How do they get the grains seperated from the plant? That's something that is interesting to see in the video
