Wang Theptaroh Daen
Mangkon Hom, in
English referred to as
Dragon
Tree Sculpture Garden,
is a 25
rai
plot of land in
Trang,
in an area that in the past had many Selasian Wood
Trees, which in Thai are known as
ton
thaparoh. After most of these trees were cut down to
clear the area in order to plant
rubber trees,
Ajaan
Charun Kaewla-iad (fig.), i.e. the architect of the project,
took reportedly about 1,400,000 kilogram of the deadwood
and created a theme park out of it, including a
dragon
gate and three giant dragons, i.e. baby dragon, a mother
dragon, and a father dragon, of which the latter is the
largest of the three, for
which
18,000
kilogram of Selasian wood was used, and which took 4
months to complete.
