THUNG KULARONGHAI 觡ͧ This is a large plot of land in the northeast occupying an approximate area of 2,000,000 rai. The area covers the vicinities of five provinces : Surin, Roi Et, Maha Sarakham, Buriram, and Yasothon. The reason why this large field is called Kula Ronghai is that the Kula tribal people who travelled for trading in this area in the ancient times though they were healthy, tough, and very patient, however, could not stand for serious hardship when they travelled across this field thus causing them to cry since they could not find any water source nor shady area in the field at all. During summer time the ground is hard and having broken surface as pits all over. At present, the field is being developed by various governmental and nongovernmental offices thus causing some plots of the field become crop lands and some plots are used for animal raising. It is recognized that from now on the field will gradually become more fertiled and richer. Thung Kula Ronghai Development Center is located six kilometers from the office of Amphoe Suwannaphum .just a short distance beyond Ku Phra Kona. |
