So as I insinuate about food. everybody is apquainted with rice which gives us life. But nowedays there are few people who grow rice by themselves. When I was young old people always talked to me about rice. So, I will tell you a rice story now.
There is a legend that there was a hen named "Suriyamanalee" which was making merit until enlightened and thus turned into Buddha. And then there was a lord name "Virupakka" who desired to be highly skillful and make rice fell down form the sky. The size of his rice was 7 wisps, same size of a watermelon and it was in goid color.
This surpised villagers and they wanted to ask a man of god who said that in the "Kusantha" Buddha era the size of rice was 7 wisps. in the "Kusantha" Buddha era it was 5 wisps. Then the villagers hurried to build a granary and the rice poured into it autormatically. The villagers then just only peeled the rice and cooked it so they could eat it.

Thai Traditional Medicine
Thai Traditional Medicine is a wisdom Thai people inherited from their ancestors passing from generations to generations. Thai Traditional Medicine has been accumulated from years of experiences, observations, testing, selections and collections and handed over to next generations.
Thai people use herbal medicine and particular healing method to treat patients. The treatment is usually combination of beliefs such as buddhism, astrology and animism and recently modern medicine acquired from the West was also combined. Thereafter, Thai medical science has been steadily developed up to now.
It can be concluded that Thai Traditional Medicine is a Thai heritage inherited from Thai ancestors. Thai Traditional Medicine is a combination of massage, steam bath, massage with a hot compress containing medicinal herbs, herbal medicinal plants, religious rites and mental healing.
In 1923 a Medical Act was promulgated to regulate standardization of medical treatments and practices. Since then Thai traditional method of treatment was considered having lower standards and lack credibility and it started to become fading from Thai way of life.
Thai Traditional Medicine had been abandoned and neglected for almost a century. Thanks to the Thai economic downturn when Thai people are urged to stand on their own feet. One of the measures is a campaign to revive Thai Traditional Medicine and used it to substitute imported medicine. In addition it is also a reawakening of Thai traditional way of life.
Thai Traditional Medicine is another good example how Thai people pursue His Majesty the King's initiative to encourage Thai people to be self-sufficient and lead simple and humble life. The practice is also an excellent method to preserve Thai local wisdom inherited from our ancestors and make it sustained. The preservation will illustrate Thailand as a civilized society and the wisdom will be passed on to future generations continually.
