Saenkham Rice : Homeage to the Earth and HeavenOverlooking SaenkhamTerrace is a vast rice-field that yields tons of golden grains each year. This gift of the earth, besides supporting the Saenkham household, is the source of inspiration and community services. The entire revenue from charity sale of the yield goes to supporting hospitals and school dormitories,especially in remote mountainous areas. Our planting day begins on Mother's Day, August 12", the birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, and the auspicious day for our harvest is on Father's Day, December 5 th, the birthday of King Bhumibol, RamaIX. On October 13th, 2016, our beloved and revered King departed the Earth, ascending Heaven, while the Saenkham field was changing colour from green to gold, awaiting the harvest on Father's Day. Sadly our father is no more here with us. TheKing, thefarmers, therice, the soil, the rivers and the rain are synonyms. We Thais have never lived. nor survived, without any of these for the past seventy years. With our patriarch gone,. we can only look u p from the earth, wishing we could reconnect with our Father, sending him the message, telling him that the gift he had granted us h a s now turned t o gold. ready for him t o behold from above.
