Teaching me the rubber tapping technique 2026
Thais in our village usually wake up at 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. to begin tapping rubber trees. Long before most of us are awake, they are already walking through the dark plantations with only a headlamp to guide them. By sunrise, around 6:00 a.m., they begin collecting the latex before preparing for another day's work.
It is difficult to fully appreciate this way of life unless you have experienced it yourself.
