The entire Ngoc Lam commune (Thanh Chuong) has nearly 20 hectares of summer-autumn rice, which is now ripe and farmers are in the harvest season. Photo: Cong Kien |

The rice fields are not large, so Thai farmers in Ngoc Lam mainly use hand-held harvesters to harvest rice. Photo: Cong Kien |

The fields are close to home so people mainly transport rice using traditional baskets. Photo: Cong Kien |

In previous seasons, Ngoc Lam farmers used small, foot-operated threshing machines to thresh rice; then they switched to small electric threshing machines. This season, there is a combined threshing machine, saving a lot of time and labor. Photo: Cong Kien |

On this sunny occasion, farmers take advantage of every moment to thresh rice to dry it in time, in case of prolonged rain. Photo: Cong Kien |

Children go to the fields to harvest rice, the elderly stay home to help by spreading the rice out to dry, the whole village is excited during the harvest season. Photo: Cong Kien |

Unlike when they were in their "old hometown" where they threw away the straw after harvesting, now in their "new hometown" Ngoc Lam, the Thai people dry the straw to store and use as food for buffalo and cows during the cold season. Photo: Cong Kien |
