Thai Rice Farmer Creates Stunning Cat Art with Plantings
In a unique and creative endeavor, a Thai rice farmer has transformed his rice field into a spectacular artwork that depicts cartoons cats. Tanyapong Jaikham and his team of workers planted colorful seedlings in various spots across the field in Thailand’s Chiang Rai province, forming images of cats that can be seen from above. The intricate artwork is expected to attract a large number of tourists and cat lovers.
Using GPS coordinates to accurately position the seedlings according to an initial sketch, Jaikham ensured that the plants would change shades as they grew. This gradual transformation would eventually yield the portrait of Cooper, the cat on which the artwork was based. To enhance the viewing experience, viewing towers are being constructed around the area to give visitors a closer look at the masterpiece.
The project not only aims to attract tourists but also serves as an educational opportunity for young people interested in the intersection of art and technology. It showcases how agriculture and tourism can be developed together, rather than considering rice solely for consumption.
Thailand, the world’s second-largest exporter of rice after India, hopes to ship 8.5 million metric tons of the grain this year. By combining agriculture and art, Jaikham’s project not only adds aesthetic value to the rice field but also promotes tourism and offers a unique experience for visitors.
If you’re a cat lover or simply appreciate the beauty of art in unexpected places, a visit to this stunning rice field artwork is definitely worth considering.
