THUNG KULARONGHAI ทุ่งกุลาร้องไห้
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.
