Information
King Bhumibol Adulyadej (King Rama IX) foresaw the significance of plant genetic conservation prior to a recognition of the terms “Biological Diversity” and “Conservation” in Thailand. During the trip to Klai Kang Won Palace, A. Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province in 1960, he passed through A. Tha Yang, Phetchaburi Province and noticed many Yang Na trees (Dipterocarpus alatus). Therefore, he had royal words to collect the seeds to plant at Phra Tamnak Piam Suk, Klai Kang Won Palace, and grow the seedlings at Royal Chitralada Projects to study. In 1985, King Rama IX gave a royal word to conserve jackfruit tress around the Grand Palace and initiated the plant conservation project in the palaces by tissue culture. Later in 1986, he had the royal idea to conserve and breed rattan palms and arrange the herbal garden in Royal Chitralada Projects area.
Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chari Sirindhorn carried on the plant conservation project by having the royal idea and asked Lord Chamberlain to carry out plant conservation project in June 1992, when the seed gene bank was formed, and study the preservation of non-industrial crops under the royal thought framework.
In 1993, Mr. Sujin Phunikom, the Assistant Subdistrict Headman of Salui and Tha Sae District, Chumporn Province, and his group, cooperated with the Director of Ultra Products Co., Ltd. and the agriculturists in Chumporn Province to establish plant conservation project at the public area located at Moo.6, Salui District (presently Moo. 5 and 6, Salui District, and Moo.4 and 7, Song Phi Nong District). At the same time, the Royal Chitralada Projects was looking for the area to set up the Plant Genetic Conservation Project Under The Royal Initiative of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chari Sirindhorn.
Subsequently, Royal Chitralada Projects represented by Professor Prachid Wamanont (the Consultant) and the team met with Chumporn Governor (Mr. Prayoon Promphan) to discuss about the project. The first five years, the project was named “Plant Conservation and Development Project Under The Royal Initiative of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chari Sirindhorn, Chumporn Province”. Chumporn Provincial Agricultural Extension proposed the project for the approval from Chumporn Governor and submit the project documents to the Director of Royal Chitralada Projects to respectfully inform to Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chari Sirindhorn on 26 April 1993. Moreover, Plant Conservation and Development Project was integrated with the royal plant genetic conservation project, which Dr. Pisit Wora-urai was a Chairman. The executives meeting on 9 July 1997 had the resolution to change the project’s name from “Plant Conservation and Development Project Under The Royal Initiative of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chari Sirindhorn, Chumporn Province” to “Plant Genetic Conservation Project Under The Royal Initiative of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chari Sirindhorn”

There are no charges for visiting Bhumirak Dhamachart Centerm except if you come in groups and need to participate in the activities that the Center has arranged. Here is an excellent learning source, which provides you understanding of the meaning of the word “sufficient” and how to use resources to gain the most benefits and appreciate its value. The walk around this place is in a circle, starting from the Northern Zone to be excited with the planting of various types of bamboo in both ways as well as the prettiness of the bamboo bridge, the bamboo house near the lotus pond, and the bamboo toys. It is exhibited in this way so that we will know about the many benefits of bamboo, including the making of the water dripping trough for watering the trees and soil to replace people; walking up the small mountains to learn about the wild mountain; hydraulic ram pump is to use water to compress the water to the highland instead of using the water pump, wet fire break system, benefits of vetiver grass, and how to build the check dam. Then, walking though the Central Zone to learn about New Theory Agriculture for the farmers to gain benefits from their own land to its value; learning how to build the soiled house and many types of herbs. After that, walking though the Northeastern Zone to visit the rice bank; learning about the rice milling and how to raise the livestock, in which huge cows can be seen in the stalls; how to make compost for own use so that there is no need to buy chemical fertilizer, and learn about Hom Din, which is how to bring back to good soil for farming by covering the land. But how to do that? It is better to learning by yourself. Lastly, going into the Southern Zone to look at how to burn charcoal from bamboo; how to make Biodiesel, and learn about Kaem Ling Project. Moreover, throughout the Center, I have seen many big and small watercourses along the way. There are pools, agricultural beds to grow crops, Chai Phatthana Hydraulic Turbine, the growing of vetiver in water, and many other things. This is the end of the walk where we have received knowledge and enjoy an untiring walk. Walking around, looking, listening, and asking the officer relentlessly just because things that we think ‘we know’ become things we never knew before. This is because we are used to all these projects or theories but we have never practiced or actually touched.
How to travel: From Rangsit intersection, take the direction of Ong Kharak District. Head to use the route of Nakhon Nayok-Nang Rong Waterfall. Pass through Wang Takrai. Before reaching Nang Rong Waterfall for about 2 kilometers, turn right into Khun Dan Prakan Chon Dam Project. Go straight for about 3 kilometers until reaching the traffic circle (with the elephant statues). Go to the right to cross the bridge. When reaching the four-way intersection, turn right and go straight for 200 meters. The Center is on the left-hand side.
