Do you believe it or not ?

 

This is the amazing for a traveler who drive on Kaset-Nawamin Road that lacate near Satriwittaya 2 School (โรงเรียน สตรีวิทยา 2 ). There is a sunflower field ( ทุ่งทานตะวัน ) that grow againt the sunshine . Many people park their vehicles for visit and photo because it’s very beautiful view .A lot of photographer meet this sunflower field and they take a lot photos .Although this field is not too big but it can make a lot of family groups  can joint to  take many photos with boys , girls , and parents with happy smile . It’s look a happy sunflower field in Bangkok . There is no charge . We don’t know who is the owner ,but we have to appreciate them for crate a happy sunflower filed to many people . We have to say “Thank you very much”. We need not to go far for meet the sunflower . 

Normally  it will have an annual sunflower Field tour  about November – January near Pasak Chonlasit Dam in Saraburi and Lopburi  that far from Bangkok about 160 Kilometres . It’s popular tour program to touch the natural sunflower field .Because there are a lot of area which plant sunflower ,you will see a wide yellow sunflower land around the you so far that you can see .You can absorb a natural of flower and  mountain  .

We recommend you ,Don’t miss to visit and photo this Sunflower filed if you have the opportunity to pass on Kaset Navamin Road .It’s around  Ladpraw - Chokchai 4 area .  Sometimes we will see a cosmos flower ,it looks like a small sunflower , in this field .It looks nice and you can feel fresh by automatic. It will be change depend on the season.

 

Oh! I will tell you Sunflower ,we call in Thai language is TAN-TA-WAN .

.

. 

Oh !  What’s THAT ? 

.

On the road ,we can find a lot of traffic signs to inform us for safety drive . If you have an oppurtunity to go to Bhuddha monthon sai 4 Road near Omnoi -Petkasem Road - Bangkok , you can see the strange traffic sign .

First time to see this sign , it’s look surprise . You can see a cute tortiose on the triangle sign with Thai language ” ระวังเต่า” mean  ” BEWARE Tortoise”. 

After talking with a people who live in this area ,they said there are a lot of pools in this area and a lot of animals live there - birds , fishes , and turtles . So they request a special traffic sign to inform drivers - please beware tortoise .  Everyday turtle  walk acorss the road and they walk slow . So for safety drive , you have to see this sign and you have to drive slowly .

If you cannot see ” Beware Tortoise” sign , that’s mean - You drive very fast  and you cannot see any traffic sign . This is the only one Strange Traffic Sign - Beware Tortoise  PLEASE ! .

Do you know A Homour Plant ? If not , we will invite you to meet DIG DEAME (ดิกเดียม).  - extraordinary Plant .Follow me to Amphur Pour  at Nan Province ,northern of THAILAND .

At Wat Prang , local quite temple locate on Amphur Pour ,there is the a big  plant grow in front of this temple . Nobody know what was the name - where did  this plant  come from – when did this plant arrive  this temple ?

But  people who went to  Prang Temple notice something  strange about this plant .Normally a trunk of plant always grow and bend to sunlight  but this  strange tree grow and bend opposite the sunlight  . This strange tree face to Prang Temple , it look like to pray and respect Prang Temple .

 

The other puzzle of this tree is A humour plant . Why do people  think  like that ? Because this plant will shake or tremble  when someone touch or light scratch on the surface of bark . REALLY !!  You can see the branch and leaf  shake a little bit  as long as you touch this plant . Local people think this plant look like human when tickle .So they call this plant in local language is DIK DIUM or Dig Deame that mean tickle .  Dig Deame shake that look like amusing and tickle that someone touch it . Believe it or Not !!

Local people think Dik Dium is old tree ,so Dik Dium has a few leafs , small thorn with  a small bundle green flower that become to a small white flower . it’s look normal but DIK DIUM IS NOT Normal . Because everyday  the travelers will visit and want to see , touch , and photo Dik Dium .They would like to proof Dig Deame can tremble and light shake when someone touch it .

 

Dik dium is still a puzzle plant for the traveler who visit WAT Prang at Nan Province .This is the one of UNSEEN  THAILAND that invite you to meet DIK DIUM . We recommend – Don’t miss this program when you visit NAN Province .

The Reverse Stupa  Shadow or The Revert Image of Chedi  is the one of UNSEEN THAILAND that invite the traveler to visit there. The traveler can visit to meet the miracle shadow both of Mondob ( pyramidal roof ) of Buddha footprint and Wiharn Buddha .But only man ( no allow woman ) can visit inside Mondob to see the miracle revert Stupa Shadow that ray from the back of Stupu or Pra Chedi . And the other one at Wiharn Buddha ,both of man and woman can see the reverse image of Chedi  in  a dark  corner of this Viharn.

Why does the image reverse  ?

It’s the same concept a pinhole camera . Because the light reflect from object and pass through a pinhole to focus light by confining all ray and reverse image on the scene.

The light from Chedi of Prathat lampangluang ray pass through a small hole on the wall and projected  on  a scene  or a white cloth that put on a table . This is a colorful and impressive image show to the visitors. This is the one highlight when the traveler visit to Wat Pratart lampangluang  - Lumpang Province - THAILAND. 

The miracle image can be explain by science theory and it’s different from case of Naga Fireballs or Bang Fai Phaya Nak at Nong Khai because there are not the complete reasonable explanation for this Event.  Do you know about Naga Fireballs ?

 

  

  200 years Yang Tree, originally uploaded by sunshinethailand.

This is 200 Years Yang Tree at Wat Chedi Luang that locate in Chiang Mai - Thailand . This grand yang tree is very high and look good for 200 year tree .

You can see easy to this big tree when you visit at Wat Chedi Luang .
There is a stone Label to present this grand Yang Tree ,and detail as that photo

Yang Tree ( ” Dipterocarpus alatus Roxb”)
This yang tree was planted when prince Kawila ( 1781-1815) abondon the city of Pasang and re-established Chiang Mai in 1796 .
The plantation was believed to serve either as the ” City Tree” marking the establishment of Chiang Mai , or as a contemporary of Inthakhin was relocated from Wat Sadue Muang to Wat Chedi Luang in 1800 .

We believe this is City Tree marking of Chiang Mai at Wat Chedi Luang .

One trick that your papaya didn’t give you  the papaya fruits . Have you ever give her a skirt ?

    Do you believe it or not ?

This is a long time that my cousin told me . Some Papaya trees are male , some papaya tree are female .

      How did we tell  the papaya tree  - hi ! you are female . you can give me some fruits . Easy to do ,only give them skirts . At my home ,only one month I can see flower of papaya and I know I can eat papaya fruit . I think I will do SOM-TUM , famous and delicious menu that you have to trial when you visit THAILAND .

There are many tricks in Thailand that you may be not BELIEVE !!! .
