Organic or Natural Products Exhibition

On August 5th, which was Friday, I asked Arjarn Nipon, my friend, to visit the Organic or Natural Products Exhibition at Sirikit Exhibition Centre. We were not disappointed to attend this event. There were many things which interested us.



Organic or natural products come from farming without applying chemicals. The crops or livestock are therefore developed by using natural nutrients. I think that this will result the balance of minerals and make the crop and livestock grow healthy naturally. These are the words of good taste, tender chew and being saved from chemical residue.


We started walking by taking Arjarn Nipon's picture. I believed he also enjoyed coming with me.


Mangosteen, the queen of fruit in Thailand whereas durian is the king.


There are many nutritious value in mangosteen. We can eat them unlimitedly. Some one said that if we have durian we should take mangosteen too because durian is very high in calories.

Coconut products. It's adavantage have become popular not long ago. Some ones use coconut oil for skin care. I know only that the oil is rich in palmitic, stearic and lauric acid by which they use these saturated fatty acids to make soap. Oil palm kernel oil has similar fatty acid component, it can substitute coconut oil in some industries.


Fashion. The organic dresses were plain and colourless, but the people who wear them could be happy and proud.


Sweets and candies


products from natural raw materials.


avocados, growing in Thailand

Herbal beverages

Taro, my favourite food. I like eating all starchy vegetables and tubers


Three mushroom beverages


We enjoyed walking until the afternoon and then we took the underground to Ladprao and a bus back home.

There are not many natural or organic markets. The nearest one to my house [Green Leaf] is about 2-3 kilometres far. But if we want to go there we have to take another way of 5-6 km. because of one way drive. It takes me one hour for the very busy hours. Not easy to be strict in organic food for me. However, living here, I know how risk to buy fruits vegetable and meat from the market everyday. I really want the high qaulity food

If water fall is beautiful, calm and attractive.

Water fall is beautiful, calm and attractive. I went to Ranong on July 24th-26th, and stopped at the water fall on the high way side nearly arrived to Ranong. It's name was "Poonyaban" This was the one to confirm the first statement, beautiful, calm and attractive. It was a good chance to have a rest after the long drive.


Look tired from travelling. Water freshened us. Come along to look at a water fall


The name was "Poonyaban" It was hard to remember. I thought this name was called not long ago.


From the road side,


The day was in rainy season, water was therefore running. I thought that Ranong water fall wouldn't be run out of water because it's rain in 8 months and dry in 4 months in a year.


Up from the hill to the creek below


My friend who use to work as an associate professor at Kasetsart University, he is the plant pathologist.


Next from the water fall, on the high way side, there were some good scenery, if we ever think to stop and admire them


Look at the large farm land, it was the air, beauty and nature


We are nature and need to stay with nature. This is the real happiness this way.


If you have time, come back to Nature and stay there as long as you can.

I understand that, on the sunny days why the people in cold countries like to come out to the parks or go to the beaches. There are plenty of parks or resting areas overthere. The answer is, in the winter time, they have to stay in door most of the time, and the day is short, night is long. Besides, it might be rainy or snowy. Cold! This condition which people living indoor is not nature. They are in the building or houses, but they are from nature, so that, they must go back whenever they have a chance. It is therefore so crowded on the parks in the sunny days. Living here in Thailand, We are lucky because we can always be in nature anytime when we ask for it. Chavalvut
