Blooming at
Anybody
know that RMUTT or Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi has a place
to travel? … Well, maybe yes or maybe no. To tell you the truth, even RMUTT
students itself do not know about place called “Lotus Virtual Museum”.
Lotus
Virtual Museum located at Klong 6, Thanyaburi, Pathumthani province inside
RMUTT. It also called Lotus Museum of RMUTT. It invented in 2000, it was the
royal initiatives of Her Royal Highness Sirindhorn, and was participated in
Plant Genetic Conservation Project in 2003. It has a purpose to explore and
collect Lotuses, planting, studying, and building conscious mind of Lotuses
conserving. Nowadays, it has more than 400 of Lotuses species, such as Sacred
Lotus, Nymphaea, Victoria Lotus and Thai lotuses which are difficult to find.
My
group in Tourism course visited there in the afternoon. I have been there for 2
or 3 times as a RMUTT staff to take care of University foreign guests, but I
had not sightseeing much since I needed to service the guests, so it was my
first time for sightseeing visit. Lotus Museum is not inside of building but it
is an outdoor museum, I recommend everyone to check the weather before visit.
Lotus Museum surely has a lot of kinds of lotuses, there are some lotuses that
we never seen before. I found Victoria Lotus, which I read from book when I was
a little that its leave can carry things about 20 kilograms or more, I was not
quite sure, I would love to try, but my friends afraid the result. This is a
good place for photographer who would like to practice their skill in flower
photography.
Anyway, it was fun to
get to know more about place for sightseeing, which is not far from us at all,
if you are RMUTT students, why don’t try to visit, and feel the nature in
RMUTT.
