Existence and Succession of Agricultural Land Around Bangkok

Covering more than 200,000 rai, agricultural land around Bangkok has been put to various uses for more than 300 years. The types of plants grown there have changed over time, and some planting is close to communities. As a result, points worth studying are how this land still exists, what causes the planting of new plant species to replace existing ones, which species can thrive in a suburban area like this, and which species should be promoted in this area. The study is conducted by means of comparing the location of this area with the theory of locating ideal agricultural land, the theory of succession and the existence of communities. The findings will benefit planning to conserve urban green areas. The study reveals that the existence of this land results from economic conditions, types of plants, and the environment. The sequence of agricultural existence ranges from orchids, grass land, kaffir lime vegetables, aquatic plants, flowering plants, paddy fields, and oranges to livestock Traditional orchards cannot survive because of economic factors
