The village of Ban Nam Khob is primarily flat land, with one side of the village having hills which range in elevation from 60 to 120 m. The village economy is driven by field crops and rice paddy farming. Women of the village engage in the preparation and processing of food, both at home and with local housewives groups. Women have access to training and support from home economists in the Department of Agricultural Extension. Appliances such as rice cookers, gas stoves and electric irons are available in many of the homes in the village.[4]
