There are no charges for visiting Bhumirak Dhamachart Centerm except if you come in groups and need to participate in the activities that the Center has arranged. Here is an excellent learning source, which provides you understanding of the meaning of the word “sufficient” and how to use resources to gain the most benefits and appreciate its value. The walk around this place is in a circle, starting from the Northern Zone to be excited with the planting of various types of bamboo in both ways as well as the prettiness of the bamboo bridge, the bamboo house near the lotus pond, and the bamboo toys. It is exhibited in this way so that we will know about the many benefits of bamboo, including the making of the water dripping trough for watering the trees and soil to replace people; walking up the small mountains to learn about the wild mountain; hydraulic ram pump is to use water to compress the water to the highland instead of using the water pump, wet fire break system, benefits of vetiver grass, and how to build the check dam. Then, walking though the Central Zone to learn about New Theory Agriculture for the farmers to gain benefits from their own land to its value; learning how to build the soiled house and many types of herbs. After that, walking though the Northeastern Zone to visit the rice bank; learning about the rice milling and how to raise the livestock, in which huge cows can be seen in the stalls; how to make compost for own use so that there is no need to buy chemical fertilizer, and learn about Hom Din, which is how to bring back to good soil for farming by covering the land. But how to do that? It is better to learning by yourself. Lastly, going into the Southern Zone to look at how to burn charcoal from bamboo; how to make Biodiesel, and learn about Kaem Ling Project. Moreover, throughout the Center, I have seen many big and small watercourses along the way. There are pools, agricultural beds to grow crops, Chai Phatthana Hydraulic Turbine, the growing of vetiver in water, and many other things. This is the end of the walk where we have received knowledge and enjoy an untiring walk. Walking around, looking, listening, and asking the officer relentlessly just because things that we think ‘we know’ become things we never knew before. This is because we are used to all these projects or theories but we have never practiced or actually touched. How to travel: From Rangsit intersection, take the direction of Ong Kharak District.
