Khlong Saeng Wildlife Sanctuary

Khlong Saeng (Thai: คลองแสง) is a wildlife sanctuary in southern Thailand, in western Surat Thani Province. The wildlife sanctuary is named after the river (khlong) Saeng, a tributary of the Phum Duang River. Geography The sanctuary includes an area of 1,155 km2 of Khiri Rat Nikhom District and Ban Ta Khun District, north of Khao Sok National Park and Ratchaprapha Dam. Most lowland areas in the Khlong Saeng valley were flooded with the construction of the dam and the creation of Cheow Lan Reservoir. Fauna This now flooded area was the only site in Thailand where Storm's stork (Ciconia stormi) was confirmed to breed in 1986. Khlong Saeng is believed to be the habitat of about 200 wild elephants and 400 gaur. The population of clouded leopards and Asian golden cats is thought to have increased. In 2019, cameras were installed in the sanctuary to take pictures of endangered and protected animals in a 750,000-rai area north of the Ratchaprapha Dam. Photos captured rare animals such as clouded leopards and Asian golden cats. Traces of other rare animals such as black tigers and leopards were also found.

Khlong Saeng Wildlife Sanctuary

Het Khlong Saeng Wildlife Sanctuary (Thai: คลองแสง) is een beschermd natuurgebied in zuidelijk Thailand, in het westen van de provincie Surat Thani. Het natuurreservaat is vernoemd naar de rivier (khlong) Saeng, een zijrivier van de Phum Duang. Het reservaat omvat een gebied van 1.155 km² in de districten Khiri Rat Nikhom en Ban Ta Khun, ten noorden van het nationaal park Khao Sok en de Rajjaprabha Dam. De meeste laaggelegen gebieden in de Khlong Saeng-vallei zijn onder water komen te staan door de bouw van de dam en de aanleg van het Cheow Lan-reservoir. Dit nu onder water staande gebied was de enige plek in Thailand waar in 1986 werd bevestigd dat de soendaooievaar (Ciconia stormi) broedde. Khlong Saeng wordt beschouwd als de habitat van ongeveer 200 wilde Aziatische olifanten en 400 gaurs. De populatie van nevelpanters en Aziatische goudkatten lijkt te zijn toegenomen. In 2019 werden in het reservaat camera's geïnstalleerd om foto's te maken van bedreigde en beschermde dieren in een gebied van 750.000 rai ten noorden van de Rajjaprabha Dam. De foto's toonden zeldzame dieren zoals nevelpanters en Aziatische goudkatten. Er werden ook sporen gevonden van andere zeldzame dieren zoals zwarte tijgers en luipaarden.

Wat Phutthaisawan

Wat Phutthaisawan (Thai: วัดพุทไธศวรรย์; also spelled: Phutthai Sawan or Buddhaisawan; literally: "Monastery of Buddhist Kingship") is a historic Thai Buddhist temple in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, central Thailand, and is part of Ayutthaya Historical Park. It is over 666 years old. The temple is situated on the west bank of Chao Phraya River, opposite to south of Ayutthaya City. The temple was built in 1353 by King Uthong (Ramathibodi I), who was the first monarch and founder of Ayutthaya Kingdom at the royal residence of "Wiang Lek" or "Wiang Hlek" from inconsistent writing, the site where he first settled before establishing Ayutthaya as the capital city in 1350. He built this temple to serve as a royal monastery after he had reigned for three years. The most striking aspect of this temple is a white prang (Khmer-style pagoda), located in the middle of the ancient compound and built on an indented pedestal protruding towards the north and south. According to the cosmology of Buddhism, the prang represents the cosmic Mount Meru. The main prang is surrounded by a square cloister. The cloister is enclosed by an outer wall, which along with the pillars inside supports the roof. The floor of the terrace is one step higher than the court. The inner wall of the cloister houses rows of golden glittering Sukhothai Buddha images on decorated bases. In the south area of the temple is the location of Wihan Phutthaisawan (reclining Buddha sanctuary). The building is currently only walls. Inside enshrines a large reclining Buddha image. In addition, there are other interesting things, such as Phra Ubosot, Buddhaghosa Residence, Three Kings Monument, and the murals etc. Wat Phutthaisawan was one of the temples that survived the destruction during the second fall of Ayutthaya in 1767, so the temple remains in its decent condition in present day. In this event, the temple and neighbouring St Joseph's Church was the site of the fortress of the converts to prevent the invasion of the Burmese army. Moreover, Wat Phutthaisawan is also well known as a krabi-krabong (ancient Thai sword fighting) school since Ayutthaya period until the present day under the name "Phutthaisawan Sword School". This temple is open for viewing every day without the entrance fee from 08:00 AM to 05:00 PM. Images References External links Official website
Wat Champa

Wat Champa (Thai: วัดจำปา, pronounced [wát t͡ɕām.pāː]) is an ancient Thai Buddhist temple in Bang Ramat Sub-District, Taling Chan District, Bangkok's Thonburi side. History Wat Champa (lit. 'champak temple') was built in the late Ayutthaya period and underwent a massive restoration in the King Rama III's reign during early Rattanakosin period. The gables of the ordination hall of temple are studded with Chinese porcelain and the window frames are made of elaborately carved wood. Behind this hall is a pool of holy water that is more than 100 years old, it never runs dry and the water is believed to cure illnesses. The principle Buddha statue named "Luang Por Chokdee" (หลวงพ่อโชคดี), which means "lucky venerable father". Tourism Wat Champa Community, also known as Ko San Chao Community (ชุมชนเกาะศาลเจ้า), is a settlement of locals who live around the temple. Although the community is surrounded by highways and urban development, it remains inaccessible by road, making it a verdant oasis of fruit plantations and canals, hence the name "ko" or island in Thai. The community is believed to have existed for more than 500 years. The name Ko San Chao ("shrine island") comes from a shrine at the center of the community, located where Khlong Bang Ramat meets Khlong Ban Sai. This is the shrine of Chao Por Chui, a water deity long revered by the locals. Today, the community still preserves its traditional way of life. Visitors can experience this through traditional Thai-style homestays. It is also one of the last places to maintain the traditional craft of banana engraving, once used in various auspicious ceremonies. The community is not far from other attractions such as Wat Champa itself, Taling Chan Floating Market, and Khlong Lat Mayom. Wat Champa and its community are not served by BMTA buses, as the area lies among gardens and canals. Visitors can reach it by boat, or by taking a songthaew (Thai-style minibus) from Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital for a fare of just eight baht. References External links "Island community".

Der Pratunam-Markt (in Thai ประตูน้ำ, sprich [pràtuː-náːm], wörtlich: „Tor Wasser“ (Schleuse, Wehr)) ist der größte Markt für Textilien in Thailand. Der Markt befindet sich im Bezirk (Khet) Ratchathewi in Bangkok. Angebot Der Pratunam-Markt gilt neben dem Bobe-Markt (an Kreuzungspunkt der Khlongs Saen Saep und Phadung Krung Kasaem) als wichtigster Textilmarkt in der Stadt. Hier kaufen deshalb nicht nur Einheimische ein, sondern auch ausländische Großhändler und Exporteure.

Neben Textilien und Stoffen bieten die zahlreichen kleineren und größeren Läden auch modische Accessoires, wie Gürtel, Sonnenbrillen, Schuhe, Koffer und Hüte an. Lage und Geschichte Der Pratunam-Markt liegt in einem der ältesten Teile der Stadt an der Ecke Petchaburi- und Ratchapraropstraße ganz in der Nähe des Indra Regent Hotels und des Baiyoke II-Turms. Auf dem fruchtbaren Gelände wurde in früheren Zeiten hauptsächlich Chinakohl angebaut, bevor man es zu einem Geschäftsviertel umfunktionierte. Direkt gegenüber der Petchaburistraße liegt die Platinum Fashion Mall und nicht weit entfernt liegt Pantip Plaza, ein Einkaufszentrum für Computer und Elektroartikel. Verkehr Pratunam ist nicht direkt über den Bangkoker Skytrain (BTS) oder die U-Bahn (MRT) zu erreichen, doch liegt das Gebiet nicht weit entfernt von den Skytrain-Stationen Siam, Chidlom und Ratchathewi entfernt.
