SUKHOTHAI - The historical tourism province has introduced its new attraction, a 1,200-rai field of blossoming yellow Indian hemp, grown by farmers seeking to replace second-crop rice cultivation. The field of Indian hemp, known in Thai as por thuang, lies in Ban Mon Khiri village in tambon Muang Kao of Muang district. Indian hemp cultivation would expand from 1,200 rai in Ban Mon Khiri to 8,600 rai throughout Sukhothai province within this year, he said. The yellow Indian hemp field is about seven kilometres from the Sukhothai Historical Park.
