Thailand - off the beaten track

Around the village of Sathing Pra, an abundance of palms that produce "tan" liquid can be seen across the landscape. A local farmer makes several ascents - completely unaided - of the palm trees each morning in order to place bamboo collecting tubes beneath the palm fronds. The "tan" then leaks into them. It then ferments and eventually forms a treacle like cooking oil, used broadly locally.
