Friendship Garden, crafted by rural children

with the embassy Consulates-generals, consulates and permanent representatives are located in countries around the world…in contrast, those countries have the same organization located in our country. in exchange for relations, such as politics through diplomatic operations or military as a factor

economic…from commodity trading and financial institutions called International Economy law and science and technology Indispensable… is social about education, religion, culture and tourism. That part of the world’s 1,700 million people want to relax and experience…

Or… anything that will lead the world to peace, brotherhood.

This is the problem… that makes a Thai person who calls himself “country bastard” (AI BAAN NAWK) Be polite, is “country boy” (DEK BAAN NAWK) because I have lived in Arkansas. south america And Americans often call people in that area like this … when returning to Thailand, he was “country bastard” again

Because he lives in Bang Saray, Sattahip District, Chonburi Province, his main occupation is gardening for more than 50 years.

garden that is ranked “One of the 10 most beautiful gardens in the world is “Nong Nooch Garden Pattaya” The name of the gardener Kamphon Tansatcha The president of the garden secretly kept the problem in mind…how to build “The Gift Garden” is “Friendship Garden” to friends in Thailand?

“We have an area of ​​1,700 rai. The raw materials are more than 8,000 species of plants, flowers, leaves, tropical and temperate forests. The design is divided into 50 types of gardens for people to see the beauty and learn about the origins. and continue to propagate and keep it in our own homes.” Kampolva

We started to crystallize when the wife of the French ambassador to Thailand at that time. Come to visit the garden and buy plants to decorate the ambassador’s residence. Therefore offered to host the garden for free of investment.

The proposition came true when it was given. “The Gift Garden” mean “Friendship Garden” It is the first time from Thailand to the land of perfume. using a miniature flora garden as a medium to convey this relationship

“I did the gardening under the approval of the French government. By using tropical forest plants suitable for air temperature, decorative environment. and can stand and reproduce naturally.”

go into detail Good landscaping, designers must take into account. “Land Use” It is important that it is beautiful, can be used for a long time, and is perfect. The design of the house must be related from the front of the house to the back of the house.

“We finished and maintained it for free. Proud to have the opportunity to present a gift to the people of France. Without the need to put a sign to tell who built it?…because that was not the intent.”

I’m glad that after that, many embassies in Thailand have contacted and coordinated the gardening cooperation by saying that there is a budget to support…the latter is not the purpose of volunteers on the people’s and organization’s stage.

for example “Bhutan”...a small kingdom in the Himalayas “Somdech Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangsuk” Which Thai people know well as the head of state and is the embassy that is interested “Friendship Garden” Held successfully in 2018

This time… it’s a perennial garden concept that is shady and shady. Refers to the relationship arising from His Majesty King Rama IX’s prestige as a role model in agriculture for Somdet Jigmee. As a result, in 2013, there were 3,575 Bhutan tourists visiting Thailand and 3,778 in 2015.

At present, it has increased to 20,000 people.

As for Thailand, about 22,000 people visit Bhutan each year, while there are strict measures to limit the number of foreign tourists to prevent environmental problems … but with Thailand, the MoU has already been signed to promote the tourism market for each other.

And what is very pleasant is that … after the creation of the garden, the King of the Himalayas has delivered “Fortune Mantra” bestowed upon the team of owners of the titles “country bastard” to thank

The flag was made from hand-woven silk, inscribed with Buddhist prayers. It is a flag of 5 colors meaning the 5 elements…representing blue. “Water Element” sustainable white “The wind element” to the noble red “Fire Element” success in green “wood element” is a bona fide yellow “Earth element” Chokdee Meechai was summoned and waved above the Pavilion of Angels in the French Garden.

Every 6 months when the flag is damaged, the government of Bhutan will send it to be replaced annually.

Another country…located at the end of Chao Phraya is the Kingdom of Cambodia. In addition to the government’s approval to create a garden within the embassy in Thailand. Also request a team “country bastard” The delegation traveled to Phnom Penh.

to design the garden of Somdej Akkomaha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, the Prime Minister’s children of farmers The longest in office for three decades

Another neighbor is “Singapore”…Kumphon has sent the rubber tree which is original for 100 years in the UK and Thailand for breeding. and then passed on to the Singapore Botanic Garden to grow

to demonstrate the tapping of quality latex for the public to see… “Garden by the Bay” which is located along the famous bay of Singapore is the source “country bastard” Many coconut trees have been sent from Thailand to be planted since the first day when this place was opened for visitors to visit.

part “The Gift Garden” Thailand…that has become a friendship garden have multiplied according to the needs of the owners of the country wishing to show good friendship with Thailand

namely Lao PDR, Myanmar, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nepal, Uzbekistan, Belgium, Switzerland and Russia.

Except for some countries in the EU camp and the American group, which Qing refused at the first minute for fear of being insecure from opportunistic terrorism. While some countries have a prohibition on receiving any free stuff from every country in the world…makes the intention of volunteering “country bastards” Bang Saray feel strange too?

This is the essence of “Friendship Garden”…”Gift Garden” which is friendly to Thailand.
