Bandongbang Village (Ban Dong Bang) is located in Bazengdakan County (Prachan-takham) in Prachin, eastern Thailand. It used to be a small village that began to develop the organic herbal industry with the help of the nearby Chaopiyeh Apai Pubei Hospital Chao Phraya AbhaibhubejhrHospital (Note 1).

When he arrived at Bandongbang Village, Samai Kunsu (Samai Kunsuk) was already waiting in the reception center. Shamai is the soul of the organic herb industry in Bandongbang Village. At present, he is the chief adviser of the Bandongbang herb production team. The whole family has devoted themselves to this cause. In addition to general production services, Shamai is also responsible for R & D and foreign guest reception. Shamai is responsible for introducing you on the day of the visit.

In recent years, Bandong Bang Village has gradually become famous, and there has been an endless stream of people coming to visit and exchange, so a reception center has been set up at the entrance of the herb garden. Samai first gave you a briefing at the center, and then led you into the herbal garden in the community. When we left the reception center, another visiting team arrived.
