KhaoHin Son Development Study Center focuses on novel agricultural developments facilitated by the cooperation of public and private sectors. The large plot of land was once barren, but with the development of water sources, forest conditions, land and animal husbandry, the area has been completely transformed. Now the area serves as a model and an example for development for other areas. Experiments in agriculture as well as demonstration plots are available to visitors and farmers looking to learn.
Other projects cover the fields of land development, livestock, fishery and herbs. A botanical garden, the Eastern Botanical Garden, is an interesting location for the study and research of beneficial plants and herbs. Inside the main building, there is an exhibit and a demonstration plot on how to cultivate herbs.
The KhaoHin Son Royal Development Study Center is located near the Km. 51-52 on Highway No. 304, 17 kilometers from Phanom Sarakham.
An herb sauna is available Saturday to Sunday, for 30 baht a person, from 8.00 am-4.00 pm. Although there is accommodation available for tourists, official permission is required before any visits can be made. For permission and more information, contact the center at 0 3859 9105-6 between the hours of 8.00 am-5.00 pm.
