Tucked away in the peaceful grounds around Wat Phu Khao Thong in Ayutthaya, Ban Khong Pho offered children a place to discover green spaces and learn from nature. This field trip supported the project Save the Earth: Creating New Life Without Harming the Planet.

Surrounded by green vegetable gardens, children observed, experimented and practised. They gathered ideas for their own creative work and practical project assessments, while enjoying time playing in nature and planting rice together.
