The sediment the Chao Phraya wash ashore made the mangrove and the banks a fertile land to grow crops. Most villages keep their own plantation, growing bananas, papaya and tropical fruits. Water from klongs is drawn into the plantations to irrigate the crops.
Another interesting aspect of Phra Pradaeng is the elevated concrete walkway. It is about 1m wide and at least elevated 1m from the soft soil and klong. This protects the natural habitat and demarcate a route that links up the villages and plantations.
