Silk

Silk

The production of silk originates in China in the Neolithic (Yangshao culture, 4th millennium BCE). Silk remained confined to China until the Silk Road opened at some point during the later half of the first millennium BCE. China maintained its virtual monopoly over silk production for another thousand years. Not confined to clothing, silk was also used for a number of other applications, including writing, and the color of silk worn was an important guide of social class during the Tang Dynasty.

The process of silk production is known as sericulture. The entire production process of silk can be divided into several steps which are typically handled by different entities. Extracting raw silk starts by cultivating the silkworms on mulberry leaves. Once the worms start pupating in their cocoons, these are dissolved in boiling water in order for individual long fibres to be extracted and fed into the spinning reel.

The environmental impact of silk production is potentially large when compared with other natural fibers. A life cycle assessment of Indian silk production shows that the production process has a large carbon and water footprint, mainly due to the fact that it is an animal-derived fiber and more inputs such as fertilizer and water are needed per unit of fiber produced.

Tom Yum Goong

Tom Yum Goong

          Tom yum is a type of hot and sour Thai soup, usually cooked with shrimp. Tom yum is widely served in many countries and has been popularised around the world. “Tom Yum Goong” is also known as national food of Thailand

          About flavor or taste "Tom Yum Kung" is the most famous of all Thai soup recipes, and authentic Tom Yum Kung soup is without coconut milk and features all four of the famous Thai flavors salty, sour, sweet and spicy. It's also highly in nutritious.

Ingredients of Tom Yum Goong is lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, garlic, ginger, fresh red chili, Thai Nam Prik Pao chili sauce, dried crushed chili, fresh shiitake mushrooms, lime, fish sauce, sugar, fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves and a main ingredient is large shrimp. If you want to cook Thailand for traditional Tom Yum Goong you have to put Carnation evaporated milk that is a special ingredient.

How to cook Tom Yum Goong. For the first, place stock in a large pot over high heat. Add the minced lemongrass (and leftover lemongrass stalks if using fresh lemongrass), plus lime leaves. Bring to a boil. Second when soup reaches a bubble boil, reduce heat to medium, or until you get a nice simmer. Add the garlic, galangal or ginger, chili, mushrooms, lime juice, fish sauce and soy sauce. Stir well and simmer 3 minutes. The third add the shrimp plus other vegetables, if using. Simmer until shrimp are pink and plump (about 3 minutes).Next reduce heat to medium-low and add the coconut milk or Carnation milk (if using). Now taste-test the soup, looking for a balance of salty, sour, and spicy. If not salty or flavorful enough, add 1 tablespoon more fish sauce or soy sauce. If too sour, add more sugar. If too spicy (Tom Yum is meant to be spicy!), add a little coconut or Carnation milk. If too salty, add another squeeze of lime. The last for those who like additional spice or flavor, add a dollop of Thai Nam Prik Pao chili sauce, either store-bought or homemade. It can also be served on the side in small dishes, so each person can add as much as they prefer. When finish to bring a boil then ladle soup into bowls and top with a generous sprinkling of fresh coriander.

And also Tom Yum Goong usually eaten with the omelet. Both incorporating eggs into your diet whenever possible, we increase the nutritional impact.

Phanom Rung Historical Park

Phanom Rung Historical Park

          Phanom Rung Historical Park Located in the Ta Pek district. Contains important archaeological sites is Prasat Phanom Rung Located on the top of the volcano extinguished., about 200 meters high ("Phanom Rung" in Khmer, meaning "big mountain").
          The temple was erected as a Hindu monument to Shiva between the 10th and 13th centuries, the bulk of it during the reign of King Suriyavarman II (r AD 1113–50), who ruled during the apex of Angkor architecture. The complex faces east and four times a year the sun shines through all 15 sanctuary doorways. The correct solar alignment happens during sunrise from 3 to 5 April and 8 to 10 September and sunset from 5 to 7 March and 5 to 7 October (some years are one day earlier). The park extends its hours during these events and locals celebrate the Phanom Rung Festival around the April alignment.
          This is a vast site boasting temples, towers, Buddha images - all with a distinct Khmer architectural influence. The site also includes a Hindu Saivite (Shiva) monastery and sculptures of Vishnu. A 400-meter walkway leads up to the site's main sanctuary and passes a number of different ruins. Many of these ruins contain images depicting Hindu Gods, Brahma and scenes from the Ramayana. Set against a scenic countryside backdrop, the site has massive impact.
          Sculptures also present images of Vishnu. A processional way leads through Naga bridges to the main sanctuary. Lintels, pediments depict the Hindu Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, with also scenes of the Ramayana. The most famous lintel (Vishnu Anantasayin) depicts Vishnu reclining on the back of the Naga King Ananta. This lintel disappeared for many years outside the country, but was recently returned.
          Phanom Rung was extensively restored by the Thai Fine Arts Department during the 1970’s and 1980’s. The site has been submitted to UNESCO’s tentative list for consideration as a future World Heritage Site.
          There are informational signs all over the site in both Thai and English explaining about the function of the structures as well as the beliefs of the ancient Khmer people.
          The complex on top of Phanom Rung hill is set in a scenic environment with views of the rural area in all directions. On the car park you will find food and drink stalls as well as a number of souvenir shops.
          Every year at April 13th the Phanom Rung festival is held when a very special phenomenon occurs. The rays of the sun shine through all of the 15 portals of the temple, creating a mystical environment.

Advantage and Disadvantage of Tourism

Advantage and Disadvantage of Tourism

Tourism, is it beneficial to the environment at large?

Advantage: Tourism particularly nature and ecotourism helps promote conservation of wildlife and natural resources such as rain forests, as these are now regarded as tourism assets. By creating alternative sources of employment, tourism reduces problems such as over-fishing and deforestation in developing nations.

Disadvantage: Tourism poses a threat to a region's natural and cultural resources, such as water supply, beaches, coral reefs and heritage sites, through overuse. It also causes increased pollution through traffic emissions, littering.

Suggestion: make the campaign about natural and environmental treatment to raise awareness for tourists. The strict laws on disposing garbage on the public that is important. Restricting the scope of tourism to restore nature in a while.
