Kasornkasivit School combines agricultural learning with the lives of water buffalo. It teaches how people and buffalo live together according to the way of life of farmers; on the grounds, rice fields show different stages of growth. This makes rice cultivation visible as a process, not just as a finished product. If you are interested in agriculture, the distinctive experience lies in the connection between animals, fields and the farming way of life. The school is located at 999 in Sala Lamduan Subdistrict.

Observing Agriculture and Nature

Pang Sida National Park extends across parts of Amphoe Mueang Sa Kaeo. More than 300 bird species live in the park; there are also trails for observing butterflies. Here, two perspectives on observing nature come together: the diversity of birds living in the park and a specific way of observing them along trails. A nature trail in Khlong Arang Community Forest leads to Khao Pho Yai Luean. The forest is in Ban Kaeng Subdistrict. Unlike the butterfly trails in the national park, this trail has a named destination. You can choose nature experiences according to your interests: bird species, butterfly watching or a nature trail with a specific destination.

Places with Cultural Significance

In Tha Kasem Subdistrict, Sa Kaeo City Pillar Shrine is located in Kanchanaphisek Garden. It was created as a symbol of loyalty to King Rama IX; its purpose gives the place a clearly defined cultural significance. Wat Sakaeo is located at 122 on Suwannasorn Road in Sa Kaeo Subdistrict. Ban Khlong Nam Khiao OTOP Community is in Tha Yaek Subdistrict. These place names add further specific points of interest within the amphoe to its nature and agriculture themes.

Sa Kaeo Agricultural Products Central Market is located at 448 on Suwannasorn Road in Sala Lamduan Subdistrict. Its name refers to agricultural products; together with the teaching approach at Kasornkasivit School, agriculture and rural life thus appear in two different contexts: as a subject of instruction and as part of a market’s name. Bueng Lamduan is also a destination in Sala Lamduan Subdistrict.

Sa Kaeo in a Broader Context

In the wider destination of Sa Kaeo, Lalu presents a completely different type of landscape. This natural formation covers more than 2,000 rai and was created by rain erosion, soil collapse and wind. Harder layers of soil remained as formations resembling city walls, cliffs and pillars. The visible contours thus tell a story of different geological processes, rather than offering just a single view.

Visitors to Lalu must leave their vehicles at the visitor center; they can continue in a local tractor cart. Local and young guides provide information about Lalu. Visitors can also cycle and explore the formation and surrounding cultural landscape in an agricultural tractor cart. Find out about local arrangements before your trip.

Traditions in the wider destination of Sa Kaeo are also closely tied to the annual cycle. Baisri Su Kwan Khao is held every year after the rice harvest and includes processions, traditional performances and stalls selling local products. Tewo Rohana takes place every year at Wat Tham Khao Chakan: monks and novices descend the steps from the temple and receive alms. The traditions have different focal points; check the current dates before planning your trip around them.
