- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2019
- We depart the Chatuchak Plant market in Bangkok, Thailand (Ep 133 and 134) and head to the Chiang Mai area in Northern Thailand to meet up with Dr. Piyakaset at the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden, a relatively new botanic garden that abuts a national forest and boasts a fine collection of native Thai plants from all over the country.
The main focus of this video, however, are the rare limestone plants in their Research Display Greenhouse, which isn't open to the public. This will give most viewers a firsthand look at around 70 plants that you may not typically see anywhere else.

This is the first installment of a series of videos we'll be showcasing from Queen Sirikit Botanic Gardens. And Dr. Piyakaset will be a principle botanist throughout some of these videos, so you'll be seeing more of him. Do enjoy this! Very special episode with 70 new plants species, messages of conservation, and a call to action!
Het was heel mooi en ik kan niet wachten op de volgende
This is amazing! Another reason to travel to Thailand!
Summer Rayne Oakes were so looking forward to it!!! Very exited!!! Thank you so much for making these and spreading the plant love and education 💕🌱
Thank you so much for this incredible video!!
I think you would like the walk from Doi Pui campground to QSBG!
I just shed a tear as he asked the young scientist to develop a limestone substitution. Man, this doctor's passion for what he does really came through in his request. Amazing thank you for sharing this.
I concur. I think those moments are the most touching.
God a 45 minute video of ANOTHER botanic garden?? Summer you are truly too good for us. Your work is immaculate!! Your hard work is truly going to pay off (if it isn’t already). I love getting to watch your amazing content every single day!!!
So pleased you're enjoying the longer form videos. They take a long while to edit; and this is DEFINITELY a passion project, so we'll see if it starts paying off financially. In the meantime, it's paying off through wonderful comments like yours.
@@summerrayneoakes I wish you the best! Have you thought about setting up a Patreon account?
Soooo beautiful!!! I loved Dr Piyakaset Suksathan. He seems to know and love every single leaf in the gardens. So nice to see two people loving plants that much! And it is really touching his request to young scientist. I hope his call reaches the appropiate ears.
Love these Thai series! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your compliments. Dr. Piyakaset will surely read these as well, so he'll be very pleased you enjoyed. And thanks for watching all the way to the end and listening to his request: I too hope there are some budding scientists that want to pay heed to his messages!
@@summerrayneoakes how could I possible not watch up to the end! I would be watching this for hours!
Oh I would move right in the garden, in a tiny house with big windows😁
@@summerrayneoakes Great video, but they do not need a budding scientist, many country's have huge deposits of chalk (for making concrete), its all a matter of cost & he gave the solution (wood)
I love the segment in the limestone garden, demonstrating that there are many variations in orchid culture and blooming behaviors, not everything is by the book. Amazing how he has described some of the species.
He's named quite a few - maybe two dozen species or more.
Summer this was truly amazing! The impatiens and begonias WOW! I love the different bark and trunks just so fascinating! This was a treat indeed! 👍🏼to Dr Piyakaset, he knows his plants and you can tell he’s very passionate about preserving their habitat!
Sally, very pleased you enjoyed this trip. I loved the way that Dr. Piyakaset wove messages of conservation into this as well. Very important to get across to plant lovers!
Caudiciform impatiens! mind blowing.
Just think if Claude Hope would have had access to some of those genetics...
Another great botanical garden tour with super knowledgable expert! I just want to shout out to Dr. Piyakaset for not just his expertise, for people from the USA and Europe, all these Latin names is a step up of your native language, but for us people speaking a set of completely different languages, for Dr. Piyakaset to be able to call these many Latin names really shows the depth of his passion and understanding over plants! And he just seems like a genuine nice and friendly person!
Summer out here doing BBC level stuff
Top shelf
Top shelf in the UK is not recommended 😂😉
Oh! the name of Dr. Piyakaset means to be the way he do . Love (= Piya) with Agriculture (= Kaset ) . Interesting name. ( I'm Thai ^ ^ )
What a gorgeous metaphor. I guess both of our professions match our names!
Would you mind if I would correct you just a little bit? The word, Piya actually means beloved not love. For example Piya Maharaj = the beloved great king.
@@DyivuLee You can relax Kim Jun sun isn't watching ......The actual translation is How ironic beloved loved Dee Lee need a hug...Keep. In mind there are different dialects
Interesting. In Khmer, we have a similar word "preya" (spelled priya) and it means 'beloved'
Dr Piyakaset is cute
This episode is a true treasure. It was so live that I felt I was with you two. Dr. Piyakaset is a perfect host who is brilliantly knowledgeable and his presentation is captivating. Thank you both and the team!🌹
Our greatest pleasure
This is practically a full documentary! Dr Piyakaset is a credit to the QSBG! His passion and knowledge...and so happy to see you have someone that talks to you with so much passion on plants! I live in the tropics but I never quite treasure the biodiversity and blessed greenery I hv around me until I watched your videos. I still struggle with keeping my plants alive but at least now I know there's a way....
Absolutely besotted with Dr Piyakaset and Summer’s knowledge. Names of plants just kept rolling off their tongues effortlessly , love it!
Kleinia, Stephania, Dischidia, Tacca, Ficus, ginger, fascinating Agapetes species, Euphorbias, Hoyas, Peperomias, Begonias, orchids, tons of caudices, ferns, mosses, liverworts and Impatiens galore. And the millipedes!
It's like heaven!
I'm skeptical the next installment in the series will match or exceed this tour.
Dr. Piyakaset is an excellent tour guide and very pleasant to listen to.
Thank you Summer Rayne. Can't wait for the next episode!
Thank you Summer for detailed coverage on Queen Sirikit Botanical Garden. I’m a Thai and have visited here twice. (But never in limestone section) This video really makes me really appreciative of Thai nature. I really wish more Thais could see this to increase nature preservation in the country. ขอบคุณค่ะ 💕
46 minutes? WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED
All so beautiful but I would have to say the small fabulous peporomias were one of my favorite plants to look at. They looked so happy and just simply beautiful.
Hey summer , this tour was definitely a watch ..if you're into rare endemic regions then why not come someday to North East India here? we are totally different from the rest of India in terms of climatic conditions and people! owing to the Himalayan range acting as a rain catcher for us here leading to the wettest place in the world. here we have the 7th highst biodiversity in the world too!
As always, loving what you're doing!
Very pleased that you're enjoying; and thank you for the invite. As I was sharing with someone else, I'll need to really plan for an India trip; I'd probably want to stay for a while.
@@summerrayneoakes
Great! You're totally welcome! You'll love the exotics in the world's largest river island here in NE, named Majuli..it's a lush lush place! There's this German woman who came like years ago as a tourist to Majuli and she totally fell in love with it. And now 7 years later she's a resident of Majuli. 😂😂😂couldn't get over the nature here. Mawllynlong with it's rain and the cloud forests with cliffs draped in ferns alone that you go though on your way to Dawki as you see ...there's so much to see!
This guy knows what he’s doing. He isnt only smart but cute as well.
Totally agree.
Lol
You like asian boy.
These Thai videos are pure gold. Thank you.
Dr Piyakaset is so knowledgeable. He really makes the video. Learned so much.
Very pleased you're enjoying.
@@GardeningatDouentza He is a man of much knowledge and much passion!
It’s an absolute pleasure to be able to follow along as Dr. Piyakaset reveals a cornucopia of botanical treasures with such pride and enthusiasm. This research facility demonstrates the key role geology plays in phytogeography. ~ I’m going to have lots of fun researching the species and topics discussed herein, starting with Agapetes megacarpa. ~ I’m looking forward to further exploration of Queen Sirikit Botanical Garden with the generous Doctor.
Thanks for watching. Dr. Piyakaset will be making future appearances throughout Thailand videos. I'm glad there were some new interests in here as well; there were many for me.
These tours, discussions, conversations, are precious to us amateur horticulturalists & plant nuts. I rarely see this elsewhere. thank you!
This is incredible, Summer! Very informative and top notch production. I also love the camerawork, which embodies calmness and immersiveness. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the nice compliments. I've passed along the compliment to my cameraperson, Sander.
ฉันติดตามคุณอยู่ ดีใจมากๆที่คุณมา
ประเทศไทย
Nice to see these limestone plants & its adaptations. Lots of new species as well. Good to know the endemic plants too.
There were a lot of new plants for me :)
Another AWESOME road trip with you!! I LOVED seeing the Paph and Phal orchids growing out of the limestone. I've seen them growing on trees but never from rock. BEAUTIFUL. Thank you.
As someone who has had a tiny two leaved Hoya globulosa for almost four years I’m drooling over here! How interesting!
My globulosa is also the SLOWEST grower. But when seeing it here, you see how prolific it is!
I know she needs much more humidity than she’s getting, and I’ve heard that particular species prefers a temperature drop at night, which I have experimented with. Now maybe I’m thinking I should play with adding limestone. Hmmmm.
Thanks for sharing Botanic Garden Limestone Plants.
Thank you summer for showing all the plant places around the world which we can only dream off to visit😍
Glad you are enjoying
Loved the video, could listen to both of you talking about plants all day. Beautiful to see the work they are doing.
Firstly, I literally cried watching this video. The conservational message is so important, and you convey it so beautifully. Your editing is impeccable. I wish every episode was 45 minutes long...
Secondly, may I invite you to Finland? We're quite opposite of tropical here, but with three quarters of the land covered by forests, nature is a huge part of our culture and lives. With old-growth forests, marshland, nearly 190000 lakes with critically endangered endemic fresh water seals, the fells of Lapland; we have a multitude of interesting habitats within our taiga biome, all of which you would find fascinating, I'm sure.
Lastly, thank you so much for your hard work.
Hi Varpu, thank you for your thoughtful message. I'm so glad this video has touched you. Trying to bring out the human message in each is like a sculptor with a chisel, carving a stone. Thanks also for flagging your beautiful country.
One day I will make a trip to Thailand. It’s a stunning and magical place in pictures that I can’t imagine how miraculous it will be in person.
I suggest late Nov. - late Feb. for the cooler months up north, and not rainy season for the rest of Thailand.. best time to travel....
Love to watch ... Thai people are really down to earth.. How calm and pleasing that man is..
I am amazed with the knowledge of these botanists!! I just had my eargasm listening to the knowledge!
Fantastic video! Loved and envied the maturity and species of the garden. Dr Pikayaset is such a knowledgeable person and his idea at the end is a possible contribution to future science! Such a quality content!
Very pleased it's left an impression; and I'm thrilled his call to action resonates
So many beautiful Begonias! I love how the walkways are set up as if you are walking through a ravine between limestone cliffs. Very cool.
He is my favorite part! Plants second. Lol! I have a crush on him. Lol! So adorable AND smart! Great video! Makes me want to move. 🤗😂🌴🎍🌱🌸🌺💚💚💚💚💚💚
He's very engaging! There will be more...
Thanks Ms Summer! I enjoy nice talking of two good botanists this time,
I love listening to Dr. Piyakaset speak about his plants. He is in awe of them and so smart!
This was very educational. So overwhelmed with all the beauty. Thank you!
I was there last year I hope you like Chang Mai. The treetop forest walk is great.
Loved looking over the land from the treetop walk.
So cool to see all the different native plants and see how they naturally grow
I had that white powder tree fern in my backyard when I was a kid!!
Even I am in Thailand. I have never been here once. Thank you very much. No Thai Program has ever been packed with knowledge like yours.
I'm glad that you're getting a chance to see some of the wonders your country beholds
hi Summer, this is the 3rd time I have watched this video all the way through, I've fallen in love with so many plants in this video! I would love to have the Peperomia dindygulensis, the Impatiens mirabilis, the Begonia silletensis and the varigated Begonia sp at 34:43. I didn't go to this garden the last time I was in Chiang Mai, but if I ever go back there, I will definitely go to this beautiful garden, thank you for the video.
You're so welcome. Glad the video has left an impression
Whoa. You just keep outdoing yourself! Im getting old with my: "this is my favorite one of your field trip videos." xD... I guess they all are! Thank you so much for this! The Southeasta Asia seems to be definitely a place to behold.
I love that its finally a longer video! This is a wonderful proper walk-through with amazing narrative and camerawork!
Thanks so much for your thorough compliments. Because these trips are self-sponsored (meaning it comes out of my pocket), I totally make the most of these trips. I never want to "overstay my welcome" with my hosts, but I think a lot of these botanic gardens have a mission to get the word out about what they do, so being able to highlight them and the botanists / horticulturists / gardeners who care for the plants-is a nice marriage. You'll be seeing more of Dr. Piyakaset too...We had quite the time together. And keep on tuning in...each of these videos build onto one another. :)
@@summerrayneoakes Unbeliable that you do not have sponsors!
I think Thai government should sponsor you. With these videos you have just promoted the country wonders more than anybody I have ever seen.
Same is valid for other countries too.
@@summerrayneoakes Gladly! I just spoke as i see the whole thing. :3
Im so excited for the next episodes! Thanks again for sharing your journeys with us.
Finally finished this and I love love love it. Am now planning to incorporate a native limestone set up in my garden that will be fed by rainwater and a fish pond. LOL. DREAMS R FREE
Thank you for your all videos
I am so much inspired right now creating my botanical garden
a lot of treasures , what amazing ... I'm french, and I don't understand everything in the videos, I'm sad of this ... I didn't understand what Dr Piyakaset said at the end, but I'll very happy to see others videos like this, thank you very very much !
Excellent video! So happy to listen to these precious and interesting converasations between these two plant lovers in beautiful garden!
Fabulous to be able to & enjoy this rare collection of endangered plants
Wonderful! Thank you for bringing us along! I really loved the forest walk. This will make a good rewatch when the snow flies. my favorite species were begonias. The one with the really big leaves was beautiful!
So glad you enjoyed and will watch it as a rerun!
south florida has lots of areas with limestone outcrops and you can see many plants growing right out of the rocks. i have a ficus bonsai growing on a 16" limestone rock just sitting in a saucer of water. it has multiple trunks with Arial roots and about a 4' canopy. i have had it for over 20 years.
Love the botanical tours! I particulary was fasinated by the rhody with tubular flowers, the unusual paphs and the dragon blood tree!
Wonderful! Obtained a lot of new information and it was such a relaxing & eye opening experience. God bless!
The Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden is so beautiful, I love it. Thank you so much.
You're welcome Johanna.
Wow, bumped into this video by chance. It's so wonderful listening to both of you. Thank you so much!
Super interesting, so beautiful! What made this video even more enjoyable was watching you two geek out! Very fun you can feel the enthusiasm
summer, this episode was terrific. when i lived in south florida i had several varieties of tropical rhododendrons but i have never seen Agapetes megacarpa. i think i need one!
Glad you enjoyed. Agapetes has been a favorite of many commentors here! I hope you find one and do grow it
This is amazing!! It's all so beautiful. I loved everything and specially the different adaptation strategies allowing those plants to grow in limestone. Thank you so much for making these videos. 💚
That was spectacular! Thank you so much. 🌿🌿🌿
So wonderful to see! Lucky you! And us!
so excited to see so many beauitful plants..wee need more space in our home..thnx for sharing summer
Thank goodness for protecting wild areas
OMG! what a beautiful and amazing garden, I loved the Impatiens, and the peperomia. I was totally in awe of everything and really enjoyed this video, my goodness to think of all of this beauty in one Botanic Garden, thank you so much so very very much.
You're very welcome Holy. So glad I could highlight it.
And I almost forgot... I used to have one of those Cycas species. I got it from Arid Lands Greenhouses years ago. It was easy to grow but really really really slow!
the thai director is so knowledgeable. he couldn't name only a few species out of nearly a hundred throughout the 46 minute tour. amazing!
This was so interesting to watch!! Thank you for letting us get a peek into such a beautiful place, especially since it is not open to the public.
Thank you for sharing! What an amazing Greenhouse!
So happy you're showcasing my second home! Thailand is amazing and Chiang Mai has my heart - and plants!
your amazing knowledge with a graceful presence...
Mesmerising
So delightfully fascinating! I am so happy you took a length of time to explore!! To absorb all this lush glory was so refreshing. Thank you for bringing such a very small glimpse of profound to us....stunning! So much pleasure comes from you touching and turning the leaves for view. I also smile when you derive pleasure from the exotic smells they exude! I look forward to your tours and save these videos for my quiet time, just before my final rest before the sun rises....💝
Hi Jaclyn, so pleased that these videos are both stimulating and calming for you at the same time.
It is so beautiful to see that several orchids in my collection are also living in the limestone garden in Thailand!
Pretty interesting to learn how limestone habitats work for flora. Truly fascinating
Now I see this video, I be sad for my country, Myanmar, near neighbors of Thailand, my country has not nature garden this like, we have many species of natural motherhood plants. But no one interesting to keep them. So many motherhood plants outside to track other countries. One day I will found to keep national plants garden.
(sorry for my English language)
This was awesome. Thanks so much. I liked the patience he had with you and his teaching desire he has when it comes to his knowledge of the plants.
He's such a gem. Honestly I think he has so much educational stamina
@@summerrayneoakes 😆😆 it shows vividly..😊
Greetings from the Maldives Summer! This is truly an impressive video, which I have watched all the way and believe me its a blessing for nature lovers like me. 😊
Thanks for filming. Amazing!!!
The knowledge of both of you just amazing thanks 👍😀🌿
Thank you for doing these. Absolutely fascinating and important! ❤️
I can feel your love of nature by the way you look at plants the way someone looks at art as they stroll through a museum. That makes me happy. My wife, Kristine and I, have always wanted to be surrounded by green in our apartment, and after watching your videos, we have purchased 4 to start off our own little secret garden. Thank you for your work!
that Begonia was one of the first ive actually wanted. very beautiful
It looks like a world out of fantasy! It's interesting to hear that maybe plants are using limestones for like perch and does not really take nutrients from it. Great respect for this country to create this place.
jl cogito he said they get nutrients from the limestone
Awesome insightful video. Learned a lot as usual. This botanic garden is so beautiful. Thank you Summer for your great videos, I learn from you everyday :)
Very pleased I can bring the information to you.
Chang mai is very cooling.
Tgis winter it will be 7C
I keep finding myself back at this video, specifically for @40:47 Microsorum thailandicum
Wow. Enjoyed watching it.
I love these videos thank you for sharing with plant lovers! I need to find a parrot flower to add to my plant family.
U always come up with some thing new & wonderful botanical gardens. ...👍👍
I thought I'd be skipping through some of it but no I was pretty fascinated by the whole 46 minutes. As an American, I love Thailand, and SEA in general. In fact I was in Chiang Mai on Jan 2020, hiked up the mountains there. It is so beautiful.
This a such a joy to watch, amazing plants and such interesting new finds, so great!! Thank you Summer, girl you are living the dream!!
Exquisite. The natural look is definitely the way to go. Organized and staged looks are nice but I much prefer the wild and meandering paths.
Thank you so much for doing these journeys and allowing us to come along! Keep doing what you do... it's important!
Thanks for the vote of confidence Edward!
its totally exciting to "stroll" along with you both through this botanic garden full of limestonespecies. i loved that creeping ficus and the adiantim cordatum too..
WOW. i learnt a lot. thk u for showing us. So special many of e plants. 👏🏼👏🏼
Mind boggling tour.....
Awesome!!
dreaming of this kind of nature view
So much interesting stuff in this video. Wonderful to watch two passionate and knowledgeable people tour an amazing place. Lots more of this please.
I love their begonia specie and other rare plants too.
Thank you so much for sharing. This video is fascinating and I love how knowledgeable you both are about the species. Very informative. I always enjoy the field trips, at my desk with coffee in hand :)
