====== Chulabhorn Pattana 2 ======

This particular village established in 1989, is 
located at former Huay Treed Village, Phipoon, 
Nakorn Sri Thammaraj. The Kibbutz system was 
the prototype of this community.\\

The original Israeli Kibbutz co-operatives is a 
commune-type cooperative system where 
everything (land, housing etc.) belongs to the 
Kibbutz. The members will be provided with all 
the necessities in the form of food, lodging, 
clothing, etc.\\

Chulabhorn Research Institute has modified 
the Kibbutz system to serve the needs of flood 
affected people, and 265 families were settled in 
4.3 ha of land. The rationale behind Chulabhorn 
Research Institute’s decision to use this particular 
modified Israeli Kibbutz system at this village 
because a great number of the people insisted that 
they remained in the areas where they use to live, 
even though there was a small area of land 
available for agricultural activities. They even
agreed to change their way of life and occupations 
from rubber plantation, which requires a large area 
of land which is approximately 2.4 ha per family, 
into communal fishery, animal husbandry and 
other agricultural activities.\\

Most of the villagers work in the agricultural 
sector. The others joined clothes making group and 
ceramic project.
