STORY 

STORY 

For more than half of humanity, rice is life. It is the grain that 

has shaped the history, culture, diet and economy of billions 

of people in Asia. For them, life without rice is simply 

unthinkable. 

Riceberry is a newly registered rice variety from Thailand. 

Originating from a crossbreed of Hom Nin Rice (with wellknown 

antioxidant properties) and Thai Jasmine rice, it was 

created by the Rice Science Center at Kasetsart University, 

Thailand. As a result, it has a long shape (like that of Indica 

rice), and is purple and soft. 

Riceberry contains three times more iron than other varieties. 

And not only does it contain a high level of antioxidants such 

as betacarotene, gamma oryzanol, vitamin E and folic acid 

(folate), it also becomes soft and is aromatic when cooked. 

Rapidly Riceberry has become the most popular brown 

rice known for health promoting properties including helping 

prevent diabetes, heart disease, cholesterol, obesity and 

cancer. It is enriched with both water soluble and lipid soluble 

antioxidants, such as carotenoid, gamma oryzanol and 

vitamin E. 

Riceberry rice can be grown throughout the year, however, it 

needs fairly special attention. To grow high-quality riceberry, 

the rice must be only cultivated in organic farms with fertile 

soil in a cool climate. The area of production is in the Northern 

and North-East of Thailand. 

黑莓果米是泰国登记的一种新型大米品种 , 由黑香米 ( 具有众所周 

知的抗氧化性能 ) 与泰国茉莉香米杂交而成。泰国农业大学的农学系大 

米科学研究中心研发了这种大米。它粒形细长 ( 如普遍的籼米 ), 呈现 

紫色且质感较软。 

黑莓果米含有较之其它品种三倍的铁元素。它不仅含有大量的抗氧 

化剂 , 烹饪后更是芳香软糯。因此黑莓果米迅速地成为了最受欢迎的褐 

色米 , 并以促进健康而闻名。食用此种大米可以帮助预防糖尿病、心脏 

病、胆固醇、肥胖和癌症。 

黑莓果米的生长过程需要长期精心的培育 , 其主要的生产区域在泰 

国的北部和东北部。

Rice in Thai culture 

Rice, the grain of culture 

泰国的稻米文化 

泰国人的生活自古以来就与大米一直紧密相连。泰国人有一些信 

仰、习俗和仪式 , 充分展示了大米对他们的重要性。其中一个信仰是 

泰国有稻谷女神守卫着水稻植物 , 并使它们生长地丰盛。农民还在不 

同的水稻种植阶段通过举行仪式来祭拜稻谷女神。 

当稻米成熟到一定阶段 , 农民就会准备香蕉、罗望子、甘蔗等水果 

放在竹篮里 , 并同时置放一些粉饼、香水等一起作为献给稻谷女神的礼 

物。 

Thailand is one of the Asian countries where people chiefly 

consume rice. The lives of Thai people have been closely 

bound to khao, or rice since ancient times. In the past, most 

Thai people, especially those in the rural areas, farmed to 

earn their living. Thais have an old saying that “in water 

there is fish; in the field, there is rice”. This indicates the 

abundance of foods gained from rice and fish in this land. For 

Thai people, rice is not only important as the main food that 

they eat at every meal, but it also has cultural significance. 

They have several beliefs, customs and ceremonies that 

show how important rice is to them. 

One of these beliefs is that there is a goddess of rice 

or Mae Phosop who guards the rice plant and helps them 

flourish. The farmers thus hold ceremonies to worship the 

Goddess at different stages of rice planting. The worship is 

believed to encourage Mae Phosop to bless the farmers with 

a good harvest. 

When the rice plants are forming into ears, which they name 

tang thong (pregnant), the farmers will prepare fruit that 

pregnant women like to eat, including bananas, tamarinds 

and sugarcane to put in a bamboo basket together with 

face powder, perfume oil and a comb and then placed at an 

auspicious spot in a field. Some blades of rice plants are 

applied with powder and fragrance and touched with the 

comb. 

This ceremony is done at the moment Mae Phosop and 

the rice are becoming pregnant. After that a “chaleo”, a 

multiangular figure made of strips of bamboo, is attached to 

a stick and planted in the field as a sign indicating that the 

rice plants are forming ears, and that no one should let cows 

or buffaloes enter the area for they may tread on the plants. 

10 11

Rice is the 

essence of life 

Kin Khao Ma Rue Yang? Or would I say “Have you eaten 

yet?” is one of the common ways for people to greet each other 

in Thai culture. The reason being that rice has been embedded in 

eating culture as a symbol of well being, and the value of kinship 

in society. Therefore, rice is one of the most significant plants in 

Thailand, as it is the main food that feeds Thai people from one 

generation to another. Thai’s eat both glutinous and non glutinous 

rice, prepared as meals, snacks, desserts and drinks (see article 

pages 30-31). 

In Thailand, rice usually appears on the table at every meal. 

Thai people consider a meal incomplete when there are exquisite 

Thai dishes on the table but without some nice steamy rice. 

Decades ago, before electric rice cookers were introduced to 

Thai society, earthenware pots were used for cooking the rice, 

then aluminium pots. 

Rice is everywhere in daily life: farmers sleep on rice straw, 

drink rice liquor and offer rice to Buddha. Rice is also in music, 

particularly folk songs. Thai classical dances and folk ballads 

tell stories of rice farming and can still be seen and heard these 

days. If you happen to go to a kantoke dinner you will have the 

pleasure of witnessing the traditional dance of the harvest. As 

long as rice is still the staple of Thai people, it will always have a 

lasting influence over their way of life and culture. 

Roots of 

Civilization. 

The rice planting season in Thailand usually starts in May. 

Around this time, showers signal the approaching end of the dry 

season, and farmers once more prepare for rice planting as one 

annual cycle ends and another begins. Since Thai farmers have 

to wait for seasonal rain to plant their annual rice crop, they are 

sometimes faced with drought problems, so there might not be 

enough rainfall for crop growing. Farmers solve this problem by 

digging canals to channel water into their rice fields. At the same 

time, they perform some rain-making rites and other ceremonies 

to pray for the fertility of the land. 

The rice field mud walls are designed to keep the water in 

the paddies. By breaking holes in these muds walls, water may 

be moved down from higher fields to irrigate lower ones. Once 

the seedlings are planted, they are later transplanted at a greater 

distance one from the next, almost always through a uniquely 

backbreaking operation that is often accompanied by generous 

shots of rice whisky. The rice then enjoys the rainfall during the 

green season through to September. The rice turns from emerald 

to a darker green and finally to dry gold under the strong sun. 

By late November, it is ready to be harvested. Each morning, 

farmers go into the fields with sickles to harvest their crop. The 

cut rice is spread on the fields to dry for several days before 

being bundled into sheaves and taken to the family compound 

where it is threshed, and may then be milled. 

In the old days, water buffaloes played an important role in 

almost every step of rice planting. Buffaloes and Thai farmers’ 

lives were closely related in the sense that they lived together. 

Buffaloes were helpful in various kinds of labour, from ploughing, 

harrowing, threshing to husking rice before tractors were 

introduced to farmers in later generations. Rice has always been 

the staple food of the Thai people, and it plays a crucial role as 

the essence of Thai life. Farmers transfer the knowledge of rice 

cultivation from one generation to the next. They enjoy a rich 

culture with centuries-old traditions linked with rice farming. 

文明的根基 

泰国的水稻种植季节通常从 5 月开始。在这个时候 , 阵雨信号表明 

了旱季即将结束 , 农民再次为水稻种植做好准备。泰国农民不得不等待 

季节性雨水来培育一年生的稻米作物 , 他们挖掘运河以将水引入稻田。 

同时他们还举行一些祈雨仪式和其它仪式 , 为土地的丰产而祈祷。 

水稻植物自绿色季节就开始享受丰沛的降雨直到 9 月。这个期间稻 

谷从祖母绿转换成深绿色 , 最后在强烈的阳光下脱干水分并变成金色。 

而在 11 月底 , 它们已经准备好被采割了。

JASMINE WHITE RICE - Hom Mali Rice 

This is the most famous rice variety of the country. It is 

unique for its fragrance and softness. It is also the most 

exported in the world. Jasmine white rice was found in the 

province of Chonburi in 1950. A few years later the strain 

was distributed in various locations in central and eastern 

regions. But the best soil to cultivate Jasmine rice is in the 

northeast plains. 

RED RICE - Hom Daeng Rice. 

The redness of this rice is caused by mutations of 

Jasmine rice 105. It gets its rich colour from an antioxidant called 

anthocyanin, which is also found in deep purple or reddish 

fruits and vegetables. It is believed to have properties that 

can reduce inflammation, allergy, prevent risks of cancer and 

help in weight management. 

BROWN RICE - Khao Kong 

Brown rice has a similar nutritional profile to red rice, 

including the harvesting process but it is easier to find around 

the world. Brown rice is a great source of fibre, vitamins B, 

calcium, zinc and iron, manganese and magnesium. 

SITCKY RICE - Khao Niow 

Sticky rice, also called glutinous rice, is a staple in Southeast 

Asia cuisine, and can be steamed or boiled for use in recipes. 

Sticky rice’s texture comes from a single genetic mutation that 

causes the rice to lack amylose, a type of starch that would 

otherwise help separate the cooked rice grains. Sticky rice is full 

of essential minerals and vitamins. 

RICEBERRY RICE - Khao Riceberry 

The grain is dark purple, long and round and when cooked 

soft and fragrant. It needs special attention, has a good yield 

when growing organic, and its pigmentation requires cold 

weather. It is yet another variety with high nutritional value, 

rich in antioxidants such as beta-carotene, vitamin E, tannin, 

as well as zinc and folic acid. Its low to moderate glycaemic 

index means that its starch turns to sugar slowly and thus is 

suitable for people suffering from diabetes and obesity.

Hands-On 

Making Saa Paper with HQ Paper 

Over 600 years ago in the mountains of Chiang Mai, people 

found a remarkable bark that naturally peeled from the trunk 

of trees at the end of the rainy season. They began to collect 

this bark and crafted a natural paper out of it. This 100% natural 

paper is now known as saa paper and it has become a 

unique and local handicraft product that is exported through 

the world. The HQ Maper Maker company offers a fun and 

creative half-day workshop to learn the techniques of making 

Saa Paper with natural dye and flower ornaments. 

The workshop takes place at a home-factory some 40 min. 

Workshop Saa Paper Making :

After explaining the history and showing the techniques of 

saa paper making they will take you to their flower garden for 

you to choose the ones you like (butterfly pea, bougainvillea, 

orange flower and many more). They will then guide you 

through hands-on making of rough saa paper, and saa paper 

with flower petals and leaves as decoration. This is when you 

can exercise your creativity as much as you wish! 

On the way back to town you will visit HQ Paper Maker 

Gallery, offering superb saa paper production and all 

accessories made with it, such as handmade paper, art

LET’S 

DO IT 

1/ Seeing Red. 

The color scheme is red. For clothes, decorations and 

cards this beautiful shade of scarlet is everywhere. The 

meaning of red color is luck and goes back to an old story 

where a monster was afraid of noise and the color of blood. 

2/ Time of Renewal 

Chinese New Year is also a time of renewal and a springboard 

to make fresh start. That is why it is also called the Spring 

Festival. A few days before the new year is the big cleaning 

day and Chinese people will only wear new clothes on the 

first day of the year. 

3/ Dancing with Dragons 

5 

Chinese New Year 

Traditions 

4/ Worship 

The dance of the dragon is pretty famous. This symbol of 

prosperity, rain, wind and emperors, winds its way through 

the streets to the rhythm of pounding drums and crashing 

cymbals. The dragon is also believed to bring good luck to 

people. In Chiang Mai, you will be able to witness Chinese 

New Year celebrations and traditions at Warorot market, 

which is also the home of China Town and two beautiful 

Chinese temples. In the evening, the street along Ping river 

will be closed to cars allowing street vendors and celebrations. 

Another evening celebration point will be at Thapae Gate. 

Welcome to the Year of The Rooster 

Chinese culture is filled with holidays and celebrations, the Lunar New Year being the 

biggest. Not only is it the largest mass movement of people in the world, it is also one of the 

globe’s most colorful and glamorous celebrations. This January 28th let’s welcome the year 

of the Rooster! 

Thailand is known as being home to the largest overseas Chinese community in the world. 

It is also the oldest, most prominent overseas Chinese community, therefore Chinese New 

Year is very important in the country. During Chinese new year many of the rituals, like dragon 

dances and even the special food eaten are imbued with magical meaning. This month, Chang 

Puak Magazine invites you to take a look at some of the most widely observed customs that 

frame 5,000 years of Chinese history, mythology, cuisine, spirituality, business and imperial 

reigns. Of course, the number of ancestral Chinese traditions is counted by hundreds but here 

are some traditions that you will see everywhere and might like to join in. 

Every Thai-Chinese family has an altar in their home. One 

day before the Chinese New Year, offerings are prepared 

early in the morning for the ceremony. All the sacrifices, 

including scrumptious dishes, desserts and fruits are displayed 

on the altar. After all family members have worshiped their 

ancestors one by one, they eat the blessed sacrifices in the 

evening, the most important meal of Chinese New Year. 

5/ Visiting Friends and relatives 

A special way for people to express good wishes to each 

other, and an important activity during the festival is to visit 

friends and relatives, most of the time with a bag of oranges.

VISIT 

AROUND 

Wat Xieng Thong 

Timeless 

Luang Prabang 

The Royal Palace 

Luang Prabang is a gorgeous town nestled in Laos, in a 

dramatic mountain setting at the confluence of the Mekong 

and Khan rivers. Due to its splendor and historical significance, 

as well as its intricate Buddhists temples and French colonial 

architecture, UNESCO has designated the entire town a World 

Heritage site. 

From Chiang Mai, direct flights take you daily to Luang Prabang 

allowing you to explore this tranquil city. 

If time is limited, the top priority should go to the old city, the 

UNESCO World Heritage “historic preservation zone”. In one 

day, you can easily tour the sights, beginning with the sunrise 

view from Mount Phousi and a wander around the lively market, 

before heading to the elegant Royal Palace, en route to Luang 

Prabang’s most impressive temple, Wat Xieng Thong, layered 

with gold leaf and an elaborate mosaic depicting the flabed Tree 

of Life. 

The dozens of temples within the city and outside offer 

fascinating insights into the culture of the city and the country. 

Historically, each lay at the centre of its village; within Luang 

Prabang city, as each neighbourhood grew over the centuries, 

these merged into a single community while retaining their own 

special identities. Each temple remains the centre of many 

daily ceremonies and rituals, some private, other public, that are 

woven into the fabric of everyday life of those who live around 

it. More than being sites of worship, these are places of giving, 

sharing, celebrating and above all, learning. 

On the second day, enjoy some of the sights around Luang 

Prabang by taking a boat up the Mekong River and 

contemplating the hundreds of Buddhas within the holy Pak Ou 

Caves, home to thousands of lacquered and gilded Buddha 

figures. You can also choose to travel south through the 

surrounding hills to one of the area’s two major waterfalls, Kuang 

Si and Tad Se. 

Luang Prabang is endowed with a legacy of ancient red-roofed 

temples and French-Indochinese architecture, not to mention 

some of the country’s most refines cuisine and its richest culture. 

The city has a special laid-back atmosphere that pleases 

everyone. Wandering in the streets at dawn and giving alms to 

the monks is also an unforgettable and unique experience. 

36 37

In the old days, Luang Prabang was the capital of Lane Xang 

until it moved to Vientiane in 1560 by King Setthathirath (although 

Luang Prabang remained the country’s main religious center). 

The city’s former names include Muang Sua, Xieng Thong and 

Lane Xang; the present name derives from the Pha Bang, a 

revered Buddha image currently at the National Museum in the 

city centre. At present, the province has a population of just 

400,000 people, including 8 distinct ethnic groups. 

From Chiang Mai you can fly daily to Luang Prabang with Lao 

Airlines and from Bangkok you can fly with Air Asia, Thai Airways 

and Lao Airlines. Buses operate from Chiang Mai to Chiang 

Khong and then from Huay Say to Luang Prabang. 

Kuang Si Waterfall 

永恒的琅勃拉邦 

琅勃拉邦是一个坐落在老挝的华丽小城 , 位于南康江与湄公河汇合处的 

一个充满传奇色彩的山区里。由于其辉煌和历史意义 , 以及其错综复杂的 

佛教寺庙和法国殖民建筑 , 琅勃拉邦被联合国教科文组织列入世界历史遗产 

名录。 

如果您的时间有限 , 最优先考虑的应该是古城。您可以在一天之中轻松 

地游览各大景点 , 从浦西山的日出风景开始 , 沿着热闹的市场漫步 , 然后前 

往优雅的皇宫 , 前往琅勃拉邦最宏伟的香通寺。第二天 , 乘坐湄公河上的船 

在琅勃拉邦的周围欣赏一些景点 , 在神圣的帕乌石窟内观瞻数百佛像 , 这里 

有成千上万的镀金佛像。您也可以选择一路往南 , 穿过周围的山丘到该地区 

的两个最主要瀑布 —— 光西和塔德塞。 

琅勃拉邦拥有古老红顶寺庙和法国 —— 印支风格建筑遗产 , 更不用说这 

个国家最精致的美食和最丰富的文化。城市有一种特别的悠闲气氛 , 让人们 

感觉快乐。黎明时分漫步在街上 , 向僧人布施也将是一个难忘而独特的经 

历。 

从清迈每天都有飞往琅勃拉邦的航班 , 由老挝航空公司运营 , 从曼谷出 

发的话 , 您可以选择亚洲航空、泰国航空或老挝航空公司。如果选择巴士 , 

是先从清迈到清孔 , 然后从华赛再到琅勃拉邦。
