The Royal Thai Navy and Chaweewan Farm Co. marked
HM the Queen’s 80th birthday by planting trees over five rai in
Sriracha.
Rear Adm. Thawee Phikulthong, chief of staff for
the Royal Thai Marine Corps, and Chaweewan Khampa, president of the
Royal Poultry Association of Thailand and CEO of Chaweewan Farm Co.
presided over the Aug. 13 planting of 150 saplings at Panawan
Smartland Sriracha.
Chaweewan said the planting was part of the
company’s “Green Thailand” project begun in 2008 with the goal of
restoring and returning plants back to the nature for Thailand to
become green again.
“With help of the media, we can build and plant
awareness regarding nature and campaign for planting trees in
Sriracha,” she said.
Among the kinds of trees planted were Burmese
rosewood, cassia fistula, yang and others.
