Suvannaphoum April 2010

TRANSCRIPT

  • The beginning of a way to victory in war-fare is not a number or power of warriors as well as the location of the battle field. Just look deeply to your enemies clothes, you will better know the tribes that you will fight. It can tell what a strategy you will use,

    Anonymous philosopher from Chineses Jin Dynasty

    We will talk about Northern local textiles in Thailand. Nothing concerns with the clothes of Chinese warriors in Jin Dynasty. Anyway, the phrase that the anony-mous philosopher said more than 1,000 years ago can also tell us how fabrics have done matter more than things we use to cover our bodies so long ago.

    Weaving Intellects

    With the variety of tribes, there are much more

    kinds of traditional textile seen in the North today

    such as weavings of Tai Lue and Tai Yuan, Nam Lai

    weaving from Nan, Lamphun silk, Teen Jok sarong

    from Mae Chaem, and etc. Also, several unique

    patterns of hill tribe textiles like Hmong, Musur, Akha

    and much more fill the fascinating of local fabric that

    is introduced to people and tourists through costumes,

    souvenirs and other accessories. They are easily

    found at Night Bazaar, Wua Lai Walking Street, Sunday

    Walking Street and other souvenir markets as well as

    cultural shopping arcades. While some of traditional

    textiles are well preserved from local people, we can

    also see that the other goods are always developed

    in design and function to catch the various demands

    of customers.

    Ginger is a Chiang Mai fashion house that introduces the

    fusion of modern style material and design with traditional textile.

    It distributes many spectacular items of costume, accessory,

    soft toy and bag as well as house ware.

    The concept design of Ginger is fun. We focus on funky

    style that features vivid colors as well as to show an exotic feel-

    ing of Asian look, said Designer Worachet Kapueak. He is in

    charge of designing home wares such as pillow, scatter cushion

    and bolster including soft toy and man costume.

    As I was born and grew up in Chiang Mai, Ive found

    repertoires concerning about traditional and hill tribe fabrics.

    So, it takes part in my design and I melt it into the Gingers

    style, he added.

    Yodaya is the other local costume brand that mixes the

    Lanna ancient textiles pattern and texture with the update

    fashion trend. Apinpon Kiratibhumidhama, designer and

    director of Yodaya, told that traditional textile has its own elegant

    and attractive. Anyway, its image seems to be old fashion, she

    therefore applies it into the recent generation. With the beauty

    simple, she focuses on the costumes multi-function such as

    For an exporting field, Banthai Garment is a factory that

    creates costumes that catch a sense of traditional texture, too.

    This factory has no designer. It is just a made to order spot that

    has its own outlet on Tha Pae Road named Bua Ban. More than

    80 % of orders are applied traditional costumes. The number

    shows well how traditional clothes change and how they take

    part in the world of fashion today.

  • Located in the heart of the city opposite to Toong Si Muang, many

    local foods are sold such as field crabs, rare-to-find vegetables and

    fruits. I like the steamed sweet corn the most, best served hot in the

    morning; and was amazed and even a little scared to see the selling

    and buying of live food such as crabs, monitor lizards and even

    beehives.

    Apart from the many yummy amazing dishes you can try, the

    scenes of Thai Buddhists way of life is a reason to come here. In the

    morning, a line of monks will walk to the market to receive food offerings

    from the people whilst sellers wear old style farmer hats and sell

    desserts in clay pots. Teenagers sit, chat and eat kao kam or sweetened sticky rice topped with young coconut. A fried dough stick shop also

    attracts many people to watch the show of frying and rolling the dough

    which is both exciting and mouth-watering.

  • Songkran Festival will kick of at 13th April, and we are

    quite bored to talk about this tradition in Chiang Mai (that we

    talked continuously for 8 years). So, we skip to our neighboring

    region like E-Sarn or Northeast and let us present the hippest

    street for Songkran Festival in Khon Kaen province. It is Khao

    Neow Road.

    As the E-Sarn region is neighboring with Lao PDR, there is

    always exchanging of culture between those 2 regions including

    Songkran tradition. Songkran Festival in E-Sarn is influenced

    by Lao culture, but adapted in Thai style.

    The most popular point for water splashing in E-Sarn is Khao

    Neow Road, Khon Kaen province. This road is named after the

    famous Khao Sarn Road in Bangkok. It is located on Si Chan

    Road, Khon Kaen downtown. There are so many activities held

    on this road during 13th 15th April. Apart of funny water warfare

    in the road, there is also traditional rituals organized in Bueng

    Kaen Nakorn where is situated near the road.

  • Origin of Water Gun Water gun was created in U.S. It is developed from a spray

    bottle. The first model of water gun is a rubber ball that we just

    squeeze to shoot water. It was, then, developed to use in fire

    fighting that was why the early model of water gun was made

    of metal and battery to pump water. Lonnie Johnson, a nuclear

    scientist and aerospace engineer from the NASAs Mars Ob-

    server Project, was an inventor of plastic water gun with pumping

    trigger and separated water container as a kind of toy under the

    brand Super Soaker. This brand of the new version of water

    gun was created in 1989. Two years later, the Super Soaker

    generated over 200 million dollars in retail sales in U.S.

    Water gun in Songkran Festival Before Super Soaker was launched internationally, there

    was also a small water gun that contains water inside the body.

    This old fashion water gun features less speed of water than the

    new one, but it was popular especially in Thailands Songkran

    Festival. The inventor of this kind of water gun is unknown.

    It comes up with the Thais tradition New Year for a long time.

    It is very funny weapon for children. However when we grow up,

    we know that splashing water by a bowl is more funny.

  • The GREEN Wars

  • Besides the torrid summer which is normal in Thailand, for

    almost 2 years that Doi Suthep has a background as an

    ambience of sepia film from March to April. It seems to be so

    romantic with obscure smoke and fog but unfortunately it has

    blocked out the beautiful scenery of our famous mountain

    while leaving out the air pollution as a summer gift for Chiang

    Mai people.

    Since a big pollution spread on January 29, 2007, the

    problem of dust, fog, smoke, becomes as a big topic in Chiang

    Mai especially in summer. The amount of dust and smoke

    are in the level of impact for health. People have rarely eyes

    pain, tearful eyes, uncomfortable and dry throat, feel difficult

    to breath and fatigue easily.

    It is unfinished conclusion for a real cause. Some people

    say because of burning forest. In opposite, the progressing

    construction of high buildings in the city is a cause as well.

    Undeniably, those two factors have contributed to bad air

    quality for our mountains surrounding this drift to be full of

    aroma with pollution.

    Similar to the global warming problem, although we are

    small one who can help to solve problems but we can achieve it

    by collaboration. First of all, just not do activities that support

    the smoke to the air. Use some natural way to get rid of the

    garbage instead of burning. Industry should include some

    protection to provide smoke and waste filter systems before

    discharge to outside which can save the environment. Moreover,

    the easiest way is just separate of waste disposal. With all of this, we may enjoy the next year summer at Doi

    Suthep without tears on eyes.

    Supamit Kijapipat, the resorts owner, said that he was

    inspired by the prosperity of Wiang Kum Kam Ancient City,

    the former capital of Lanna Dynasty. He therefore brought the

    concept of that ancient town to feature via the form of high end

    boutique resort that will make all guests feel like the Lanna

    aristocrats.

    Finely design, the resorts entrance and lobby lounge

    feature the ambience of the embellish lawn in front of the big city

    gate. The villas and guestrooms buildings surround the large

    borderless swimming pool under the shady of trees, feeling like

    the dam in the middle of a Lanna ancient colony. Behind the

    area, there is a charm teak Thai house which is in charge of the

    big meeting room. There is a genuine ancient pool located on

    its premium spa under the shady of a tall rubber tree (the spa

    and Thai house are expected to be open by August 2010).

    familiar with coconut milk ice-cream; anyway, homemade ice-cream

    is now a talk of the town stuff in Chiang Mai today. As it is so real

  • Maejo Golf Club & Resort Chiang Mai is one of the top 5 standard golf courses in

    the North. Located just 20 minute drive from Chiang Mai downtown, this standard golf

    course features 18 holes, par 72 and 6,730 yards.

    Jitti Rojanapaiboon, the chairman of T.W. Group, and Wuttisit Charoenthanakul, the owner of Settrakarn Village in Saraphi District, are the golfers who prefer this golf

    course and always join it when they have free time. They told us the course has beautiful

    scenery and its own unique charm as it features an orchard surrounded the area.

    Jitti said the course is so attractive for challenging golfers, and not too much

    difficult for individuals who would like to start golfing. According to his opinion, the most

    challenging stage is on hole 4, par 5 (552 yards) with U shape fairway. As the stage is

    situated near a longan orchard, it is so hard to return to the green if someone misses

    stroke. The most impressive stage is on hole 14, par 3 (145 yards) because golfer has

    to pat down to the slope where featuring beautiful view especially when the sun sets.

    He also said that the fairway is quite perfect.

    Feel the Beauty Challenging at Maejo Golf Club & Resort Chiang Mai

    Wuttisit preferred in the service part of the golf club. The staffs are friendly and

    the caddies are skillful. I started the day downtown with very hot weather and haze

    covered Chiang Mai city severely. Anyway, when I drove here, I found that the air in

    the course is so fresh, said him. The owner of Settrakarn Village also said that the

    orchard nearby is very charm. Golfers can also try various kinds of fresh fruits at the

    lobby of the club.

  • Cupping is a part of ancient Chinese medical sciences

    that was originated in Jin Dynasty around 2,000 years ago.

    At that time, the cups were actually animal horns, used drain-

    ing pustules.

    Chinese doctors believe that there are two main causes of

    illness. The first is people got disease from germs. The other is

    defections of immunity that make disease get into blood and

    breath vessels of people. Cupping is a method to take those

    toxic away from patients capillaries. The practice also circulates

    blood in the vessels well.

    In science study, the broken capillaries let erythrocytes

    out from blood vessels and make hemoglobin dispersed

    that makes the immunities inside the body eliminate the

    hemoglobin. Pressure by a heat cup, this method will en-

    courage and refresh our immunities and blood vessels.

    Cup and CureThe treatment covers coughing, asthma, bronchitis, hives and

    etc. Anyway, the treatment runs well for individuals who have pains

    and aches on their bodies. By the co-operation with acupunc-

    ture, the treatment can also cure acne, blemish as well as dieting.

    Before Cupping First, doctor has to heat the cups suctioning out the air

    inside. Then put the cups on the prominent points of breath

    vessel for 5 10 minutes, so that the skin and superficial

    muscle layer is drawn into and held in the cups. After taking the

    cups out from the body, there must be violet stains on the skin. If

    someone has more diseases, the stains will be strong, but there

    is no any hazard. It will be disappeared in few weeks.

  • Do & Dont

    There is a risk for patients to be fainted if they have no meal

    and enough sleep before cupping. Everyone can be cured by cup-

    ping except individuals who have mental illness in body controlling

    as well as those who have blood problems. The treatment will be

    matter to do once or two times per week, continuously for 10 times.

    Anyway, it is up to a consideration of the doctor.
