Kwan Pa Yao, source of life,
Sacred Pia Jow Tong Luang , Por Kun Ngarm Kom ,
Famous beauty of Doi Bussarakam.
This is the symbolic slogan of Pa Yao
Province which was created synchronize, with
changing from Amphur to bigger as province. But
theres one thing that has been created before those
two which is Kwan Pa Yao.
Kwan Pa Yao is situated in Muang district, Pa
Yao province. Its the ranking as the biggest lake
of the North region and 3rd ranking of
Thailand (after Nong Harnd and Bueng Borapej).
Kwan in northern dialect means pond is a natural
water resource in the heart of Pa Yao. It has
mountainous backgrounds which are instantiated from
18 natural water origins. It gives 29.40 million
cubic meters each year and several of 48 fish types
on 12,831 Rais for nurturing these fish. The
scenery around Kwan Pa Yao. Makes this natural
tourist place becomes wonderfully beautiful to
everyone. Since we can simply say the heart of Pa
Yao is at Kwan Pa Yao.
Moreover, Kwan Pa Yao is surrounded by
restaurants and parks which make visitors to
feel relax and enjoy with the beauty and
richness natural resources since inlay ancient
time.
Personally, I understand more of the meaning
Kwan Pa Yao source of life by now when my
sharp eyes sight see a river boa floating in the
middle of Kwan Pa Yao at 6 oclock in the
morning. This is the origin o this story.
I was rushing by my walking with my instant
heading to port of saving temple project of
Tilokaram Temple. It takes about 20 minute from the
edge to that boat. What came into my eyes is a
middle age man was pulley fish from Nang tray.
Uncle Aree Kreiengsanook, 55 , from Bam Roung
Hi, T.Muang , A.Muang Pa Yao , he told Ive been a
fish man here at Kwan Pa Yao fro about 10 years ago
and its my main job. Ive never even thought of
changing to work in different thing, because here is
the source of my life as well as their fish men.
His daily routine starts at 4 p.m. from
arranging those Nang fish trap lay all over his
house fences. Then he separates each one into
individual piece then pack in his recycle bags. Then
at 6 p.m., he will be sailing his boat to put those
Nang fish trap for having Kwan Pa Yao fish
eventually.
Furthermore, Uncle Arees important tool
of each day is Nang fish trap 50 meter for
each piece for total 30 pieces. A sharpened
bamboo wooden stick , 3 meter for each, about
150 sticks plus lotus sticks 10 inches in length
, about 30 sticks. The rest is his experience
and his expertise. Lets all of us imagine, how
fascinating that these methods can make the
income that can raise 9 family for more than 10
years. How amazing!!!
Uncle Aree
specified more processing in
trapping those fish from this method which are
how to excess in the depth of 3 meters of 30
pieces and try not to overdo with areas that
others might do before us.
Uncle Aree collects Nang fish trap since
6 AM until 9 10 AM. He can catch about 30-40
kg or less about 15 20 kg. Depends on luck.
Then hell take fish at home for cleaning. Later
his wife will bring to sell at Mae Tum market at
Mae Tum intersection, A.Muang , Pa Yao.
They can make roughly about 500-600
Bath. Its worth for the time and attempt.
Hes so proud of his job at his mother land.
Lastly, Im so impressed when
knowing after selling then Uncle Aree was sails
to see me off. He told me that hes no.1
champion in selling (competition) of Pa Yao.
Its even fascinated that I had no clue at all
that Uncle Aree is sort of disable since his
legs are in different size. I hope that this
story will bring encouragement for lively to all
of us.
