COVER COVER STORY STORY

The Stunning Beauty of

Siamese Fighting Fish 令人惊叹的暹罗斗鱼

All pictures 8

Visarute Angkatavanich

When the iPhone6 was introduced to the world last year, many users chose the pictures of a Siamese fighting fish as wallpaper. The person behind these high-resolution screen pictures is a Thai photographer named VisaruteAngkatavanich. The 45-year-old photographer’s signature images are stunning and truly reflect the grace and beauty of the Siamese fighting fish. The brilliant coloration and long flowing fins make it one of the most well-known aquarium fish. Siamese fighting fish, also call Betta Splendens are small (up to 3 inches long). They are rather plain-colored fish, native to the Mekong River basin in Thailand (previously called Siam). The Siamese fighting fish makes its home in

rivers, rice paddies, drainage ditches and the warm flood plains of the region. The vibrant resiliant fish has quickly become accustomed to frequent storm flooding and devastating droughts. The cyclic, drastic changes in its environment have meant the fish has adapted - becoming a true labyrinth fish. A labyrinth fish has the unique ability to breathe oxygen directly from the air and also take in oxygen from its gills. As a result, Bettas and other labyrinth fish can survive for short periods of time out of water, and if needed, can inhale the air around them. This also explains why a Betta can sustain itself in stagnant oxygen deficient water. 9

This hardy yet delicate fish can be peaceful and timid as well as aggressive and bullish. The name “fighting fish” refers to the aggressive behavior of territorial males. Two males will certainly fight until one is severely damaged or dead, so males cannot be kept together. But aggression can also be seen towards other fish. When fighters are kept with fish that exhibit long, flowing fins or bright colours, the fighter may mistake them for other males. Females are less colourful than males. They can be put together and also need a comfortable place to hide. Aquatic caves or dense, planted corners work well in making the fish safe. In the wild, the fish uses its coloration to ward off predators and to attract mates. Wild Bettas do not possess the vibrant bright red, lime green, and royal blue colors of their selectively bred counterparts. In fact, they are unusually dull and drab. However, captive-bred Betta males have adopted these new 10

colors and use them to their advantage in mating displays. In the Siamese fighting fish family, the male takes care of the children. It begins with him building a nest of bubbles then he will courtship the female, often being aggressive when attempting to entice her under the nest. When the female begins to lay, the male loops himself round the female to fertilize the eggs. She can give a total of several hundreds eggs and he will catch each whitish eggs in his mouth, coat them with mucus, swim up and then blow them into the mass of bubbles. While the male is doing this, the female recovers from the embrace. Finally, the male drives the female away and guards the nest. He will take care of the eggs until the young hatch 24 to 48 hours later. The young Bettas don’t begin to show very much color or fin shape until they are about three months old.

当iPhone6面世全球时，许多用户选择了泰国斗鱼的图片作为手机壁纸。这些高分辨率屏保图片背后的作者就是泰国摄影师Visarute Angkatavanich。这位45岁的摄影师，其代表作令人惊叹且真正反映了泰国斗鱼的优雅和美丽。泰国斗鱼，学名为泰国搏鱼 ( Betta Splendens)，身形小 (最大为3英寸) ，相当一部分为素色，原产于泰国 (旧称暹罗) 湄公河流域。泰国斗鱼生活在河流、稻田、排水沟渠和温暖的洪水地区。它们很快地习惯了频繁的暴雨洪水或毁灭性的干旱。循环、急剧变化的环境帮助这种鱼学会了适应——成为一种真正的谜样的鱼，拥有直接在空气中呼吸氧气的独特能力。这种纤弱却坚强的鱼既胆小平和，亦能积极乐观。“斗鱼”

Visarute Angkatavanich

这个名字指的是领域性雄性的攻击性行为。两雄相遇必定来场决斗，相斗时张大腮盖和鱼鳍，用身体互相冲击挑衅，然后用嘴互相撕咬，战斗到其一严重受伤或死亡。因此显然不能将两尾以上的雄性斗鱼养在一起，而且它们这种攻击性同样适用于对其它鱼类。雌性的色彩比较淡，可以放在一起。野外生存时，鱼类通常利用其颜色来抵御捕食者和吸引异性。在泰国斗鱼的家庭中，由雄性照顾幼鱼。最初它会建筑泡沫的巢，然后向雌性求爱。在雌鱼躺下后，雄性斗鱼则在它身边转圈使其受精。雄鱼将每个白色的受精卵含在嘴里，用粘液包裹，然后又吹出大量的泡沫。而后，它会一直照顾受精卵，直至24至48小时后幼鱼孵化成功。

Visarute Angkatavanich Photographer

Visarute Angkatavanich is the man behind the beautiful Siamese fighting fish picture popular on the iPhone6. A few years ago, the Bangkok-based photographer started selling his work through micro-stock sites, and so went in search of some interesting subjects to populate his gallery and generate some sales. Interestingly, he found what he was looking for in his own house: his pet fish. Ever since he was a little boy, Angkatavanich has owned different kinds of fish - everything from goldfish, to guppies, to Siamese fighting fish - and he quickly realized that they make the perfect subjects. “I found that nowadays there are so many different kinds of fish that come in unique shapes, colors and patterns. I am fascinated by them, and so I started taking photos.” He takes his photos most often by setting up his strobe lighting directly above the fish tank. His trick is to clean the tank and filter the water as clearly as possible. The final shots make the fish look as if they are floating in mid-air, rather than swimming around inside the confines of a fish tank.

Visarute Angkatavanich正是iPhone6红极一时的屏保——美丽的暹罗斗鱼照片背后的摄影师。几年前，这位曼谷摄影师通过 micro-stock网站开始销售他的作品，他也着手寻找一些有趣的主题来填充他的线上画廊以促成一些销售。有趣的是，他发现一直要寻找的就在自己家里: 他的宠物鱼。 —— “我发现，现在有很多不同种类的鱼，它们拥有独特的形状、色彩和图案。我着迷于它们，所以我开始拍摄它们。” 他在摄影时通常将闪光灯设置在鱼缸的正上方，这样最后的成片能使得鱼看起来好像是漂浮在半空中。

VISIT IN TOWN

THE SECRET

JUNGLE TEMPLE Wat Pha Lat

帕拉特寺，一座秘密丛林庙宇

Thai people have a saying : “You haven’t really been to Chiang Mai, if you haven’t visited Doi Suthep temple”. This temple is one of the landmarks of the city. But not many people know of another beautiful temple, a few kilometres before the famous one, that is much less crowded, less opulent, and mostly visited only by locals. Welcome to Pha Lat temple, the secret jungle temple...! Often called “The monastery of the sloping rocks”, this hidden treasure has it all: an antique viharn (shrine hall), serene atmosphere, breathtaking views over the city of Chiang Mai, plus a little stream that passes through the temple’s garden. This temple was constructed during the reign of King Kuena (1355-1385). History says that the king’s white elephant stopped and knelt down at this place whilst walking up the mountain. The animal continued his journey but then died when arriving at the top of the height. King Kuena ordered the construction of Doi Suthep temple at the very place the elephant died. Later, he also ordered the construction of temples at the three other spots where the white elephant had rested, one of these being Wat Pha Lat. Those places were considered holy places.

In 1934, a wealthy Burmese wood salesman took it upon himself to start the restoration of Wat Pha Lat. The original temple was almost gone, with only the roof and walls standing. The new temple buildings were built on the opposite side of the waterfall not too far from the road up to Doi Suthep. There is a small bridge crossing the stream. Standing in the middle of the bridge you can see the old temple and the new temple plus, straight ahead, an unforgettable view of Chiang Mai city. Fascinating and contrasting images of the old and the new! At Wat Pha Lat, the Burmese influence in architecture can be seen especially at the main temple. On one side of the roof there is a drawing of a peacock which is a symbol for Burmese people.The other side shows a drawing of a rabbit, which is the symbol of the birth-year of the monk who was in charge of the temple at that time. A giant Singh (lions) guards the chedi and the entrance to the temples, representing typical Thai temple architecture. It is very impressive. The temple sits by a small waterfall, nestled into the hillside, surrounded by rocks and beautiful trees. Many Buddha images are stuck into and on to rocks around. At Wat Pha Lat you get a feeling of peace; with the shadow of the trees, the sound of the river and the magnificent view down the stream. It is very relaxing. In this temple you will see Buddha images everywhere and images of the white elephant as well. You can also find a path, used by monks to walk to Chiang Mai city. This path continues up to Doi Suthep, about one hour’s walk, following the stream most of the time. It can be dangerous to walk, especially during the rainy season, so don’t give it a try unless you are a good hiker. Thailand is a country where temples are important to people. They need a place to go to take a step back some times and slow down. Wat Pha Lat is most certainly such a place. Situated in the jungle, off the main road up to Doi Suthep, you will find this little jewel of a meditation spot. Not posh, not full of tourists, no glam and glitter. Walking around the grounds, you will see small posters stuck on the trees, with wisdom quotations like “Everyone maybe a fool, but nobody is a fool forever” or “Greedy eaters dig their graves with their teeth”. Some might make you giggle and others will make you nod your head in approval...

帕拉特寺，一座秘密丛林庙宇泰国人爱说 : “如果你未曾参拜过素帖寺，你就不算真的来过清迈”。这座寺庙俨然已成为了城市的重要地标之一。但谁又知道，前往著名的素帖寺的途中，几公里之外将还有另外一座美丽的寺庙。这里拥有更少的喧嚣与华丽，主要参观的只有当地人吧？欢迎来到帕拉特庙，一座秘密丛林庙宇…… 通常被称为“斜岩修道院”，这个隐藏的宝地拥有古老的神殿、静谧的氛围和令人惊叹的清迈城市景色，还有一条溪流穿过寺庙的花园。这座寺庙始建于Kuena国王统治时期(1355 - 1385)。历史上据说国王的白象在步行上山的过程中在这里停了下来，并双膝跪地。随后白象又继续它的旅程，但当它到达顶部时仙逝，Kuena国王下令在此方建设素帖寺。后来，他还下令在其它三个白象休息的地方建造庙宇，其中一个就是帕拉特寺。这几处都被泰国人认为是极其神圣的地方。在1934年，一位富裕的缅甸木材商人开始着手修复帕拉特寺。庙宇的遗址几乎就只残留下了屋顶和墙壁。新庙建造在瀑布的对面，离上素帖山的路不远。有一座小桥横跨河流，如果您站在桥的中部能看到旧殿新殿，向前直直地眺望便是一个难忘的清迈城市之景。这里融汇了今昔之景，是如此地梦幻迷人! 在帕拉特寺，您能在其建筑尤其是主殿看到缅甸风格的影响。主殿屋顶的其中一边绘制着一只孔雀，它是缅甸人民的象征。而另一边则展示了一幅兔子的画，它象征着当时掌管这座寺庙的高僧的生辰属相。巨大的狮子和老虎守卫着佛塔与寺庙的入口，展现了典型的泰式庙宇建筑风格。它给人的印象非常深刻。神殿在一个小瀑布旁，坐落在山坡上，围绕着岩石和美丽的树木。其中众多佛像都被岩石包围。在帕拉特寺，您会感觉到一种内心的平和。树木的影子、河流的潺潺水声、溪流的壮美景色，这一切都让人感觉放松。可做&不可做泰国是一个寺庙对于人民来说很重要的国家。他们需要一个可去之处，为了能往后退一步，把身心慢下来。帕拉特寺毋庸置疑就是这样一个地方。始终得记住，它是一个当地人祈福的宗教场所，所以有一些可做和不可做的事必须铭记在心： ——请文明着装，不要穿短裙短裤。这是对佛像、高僧、尼姑或寺内老者的一种尊重 (您可能需要准备一条大围巾以便在宗教场所时使用) 。 ——始终保持平和并安静地行走，某处总会有人在祈祷或冥想，即使您可能没有看到他们。 ——最后但并非最不重要的，不要用手指佛像、高僧、尼姑或老者，这样非常晦气。阅读并记住以上提示，那您已经准备好了去参拜一座泰国寺庙。祝您有个美丽的旅行……

It is that time of the year again? Summer time! Whether it is indoor or outdoor, Chiang Mai offers a range of great activities for kids. Are your children a bit adventurous?

HAND MADE IN CHIANG MAI

“ LIVING ARTS ”

CELADON 青瓷—清迈手工的风采

The road that runs east from Chiang Mai to Sankamphaeng is marked on maps as Highway 1006, but it is known locally by a more colourful name – the Handicraft Road. This is because the road is lined with artisans’ workshops and showrooms where you can see both the processes and products of the handicrafts for which northern Thailand is famous. 36

Handicraft factories located on this road include silk and silverware, lacquerware, ceramics, celadons, umbrellas and fans. A trip down this road is one of the most interesting activities for visitors to Chiang Mai. It offers the chance not only to meet local people, but also to learn something of the techniques used in producing traditional handicrafts, and to pick up a striking souvenir to take back home. This July, Chang Puak Magazine takes you to Siam Celadon factory, a famous place producing elegant and characteristic celadon; hand-made in Thailand and exported to the world. Celadon is form of glazed stoneware which became famous at a very early date. The word “celadon” is derived from the Sanskrit language and means green-glazed stone. It is classifieds as high-fired stoneware, fired in wood-fired kilns.

The green-colored glaze is achieved by a mixture of wood ash being fired into the clay, giving it its characteristic colour and cracked texture. In the old times, celadon ware was believed to change color when poisoned food touched it; it was highly prized and in great demand in Thailand. According to Thai history, King Ramkamhaeng The Great visited China in the 13th century and brought Chinese pottery and potters back to Thailand. When they arrived in Chiang Mai they found a thriving ceramics industry. 83 kilns were firing at its height and soon celadon ware was being produced as well. Today, the northern region specializes in the making of green and blue celadon, but yellow and brown wares can also be found. 37

At the Siam Celadon factory everything, from drumshapped seats and table bases to complete dinner sets, is made by hand. The factory houses many rooms, each one being devoted to one of the many steps in the process of celadon-making. First, local ball clay is prepared and formed into slabs for the potter. It is shaped into plates by women at work at a motorized potter’s wheel, using a knife to control the shaping. The production is a relatively long and complicated process. The most essential aspects of it are the use of the proper earthenware clay raw materials, proper drying, the use of highly skilled artisans in molding and design application, then in the glazing and firing processes. A small, comparatively simplistic design, either hand-painted or in low relief, usually takes four to six weeks to make well. A larger piece can take as long as ten weeks, although six to eight weeks is the average. Before drying, the pieces that are to receive applied decorations like leaves and flowers go to a liquid-slip artist. Pieces that cannot be thrown, such as coffeepots and figurines, are cast in the jiggers shed. Here, clay is poured into a mold and allowed to set and dry. The clay for a half-inch-thick wall sets for one and a half hours before the excess is poured out. After two days of drying in the mold, it is ready for the low - or biscuit - firing at 1,472 degrees.

从清迈东部前往山甘烹（Sankamphaeng）的路在地图上标记为1006号高速公路，可它为当地人熟知的却是另一个更丰富多彩的名字——手工艺品路。因为道路的两旁排列着各式手工作坊和展厅。在这里，您可以看到泰国北部著名的手工艺品的生产流程和成品展示。这个7月, Chang Puak杂志将带您去探访 “暹罗青瓷厂”——当地著名的一个青瓷工厂，致力于生产优雅和极具特色的青瓷。根据泰国历史，国王Ramkamhaeng于13世纪访问中国首都北京，将中国的陶器和陶工带回到了泰国。今天在清迈这座城市，手工艺者专注于烧制青色及蓝色的瓷器，当然黄色和棕色也部分存在。 “暹罗青瓷厂” 出品众多青瓷物件：从鼓形座椅、单桌到成套餐桌全都是手工制作，价格也非常亲民。走在美丽的工厂里，您可以见证青瓷制作的不同步骤。“暹罗青瓷厂”会是您在清迈能找到的一个美丽而时髦的去处。

Next comes glazing. The piece is dipped into a mixture of wood ash and another local clay, different from the ball clay. The proportion of ash and clay determines the color of a piece, whether classic green, greenish-brown or the attractive blue that was introduced a while ago. If the article has a design, the first coat is wiped with a sponge so that it fills in the design and makes it darker. A second dipping takes place when the first coat has dried, and then a third coat is brushed on to smooth over any imperfections before the high - or glaze - firing at 2,372 degrees. The 10-hour slowcooling period gives Thai celadon its crackle. At Siam Celadon you can witness the different steps of the making of celadon and you can choose beautiful products in their showroom (prices are affordable). The art of celadon is a living art passed down from one generation to another but in our modern times it is becoming more and more difficult to interest the new generation in this work. Visit this beautiful factory to bring home unfogettable memories.

PORTRAIT CHIANG MAI

Une vie simple. A la question de savoir si elle n’aimerait pas exercer d’autres fonctions dans l’entreprise, Sipay lève la tête surprise, comme si une telle question était saugrenue. Bien sûr que non ! Elle fait ce qu’elle sait faire. Elle maîtrise la technique, elle connaît chaque dessin et ne désire surtout pas bouleverser le rythme de sa vie. Un long fleuve tranquille pense-t-on inévitablement en regardant travailler Sipay : cheveux court, uniforme de l’entreprise porté avec fierté, pieds nus, mains musclées, absence de maquillage et de bijoux, juste un sourire tranquille et timide. A 50 ans, sa vie est orchestrée comme “du papier à musique”. Sipay est originaire d’un petit village à une vingtaine de kilomètres de son lieu de travail. Elle vit toujours dans la maison familiale avec son frère et son père. Chaque matin, elle arrive un peu avant 8h et quitte invariablement l’entreprise à 17h. Elle ne fait généralement pas d’heures supplémentaires et travaille en alternance le week-end. Sur le chemin du retour, elle s’arrête invariablement au marché et rentre pour préparer le dîner. Son plaisir : rester à la maison. Naturellement, elle a aussi quelques amies dans son village. La plupart sont sculptrices comme elle, dans d’autres compagnies de Borsang, le poumon économique et social de ce territoire. Quand à l’idée de prendre sa retraite, elle répond amusée : “tant que mon employeur voudra de moi, je resterai”. “Peut-être, conclut-elle timidement, que tout aurait été différent, si j’avais fait des études”. Une réflexion prononcée sans regret ni amertume, comme si finalement tout était très bien ainsi. Vous pouvez rencontrer Sipay Sopahin chaque jour, dans le centre de fabrication de meubles de Sudaluck. 99/9 Chiang Mai - Sankampaeng road, Chiang Mai.

Sipay Sopahin Une vie sculptee dans le bois Voilà plus de 20 ans que Sipay Sopahin manie le “siou” et le “oine” plus clairement, la machette et le burin miniatures, avec le même contentement. Un savoir-faire qu’elle a acquis grâce à sa soeur aînée, experte dans la sculpture sur bois. Toute jeune, elle va d’abord s’entraîner de longs mois, avant d’intégrer l’entreprise de fabrication de meubles Suddaluck, à Borsang, où elle officie encore aujourd’hui. Depuis deux semaines, Sipay et sa partenaire travaillent côte à côte sur la frise à fleurs de cette magnifique table. Les gestes sont précis et ne supportent aucun dérapage. Les tiges et les pétales se suivent et s’enchevêtrent selon un contour préalablement dessiné au crayon à papier. Sipay aime tout particulièrement sculpter des fleurs. Dans la “vraie” vie, les roses ont sa préférence. Et son jardin embaume le jasmin. Armée d’un petit plumeau, en fibres de noix de coco, elle va dégager la sciure des interstices du bois. Le geste n’a rien de mécanique, au contraire, Sipay prend son temps. Elle caresse le meuble, le regarde, frappe, ponce, époussette. Elle en a déjà sculpté des centaines de tables, des têtes de lits et d’armoires pour le compte de Sudaluck, essentiellement pour répondre à des commandes ou pour le show room qui reçoit chaque jour des dizaines de visiteurs. Sipay aime ce défilé de “curieux” qui la regarde travailler en silence, mais 42

par-dessous tout elle affectionne l’ambiance de travail. Un mélange de complicité et de solidarité, tissé au fils des années. On peut voir à ses pieds un certain nombre d’outils qu’elle a acheté. Ici, l’ouvrier vient avec son matériel. Et chacun y accorde une attention toute particulière. C’est l’ancienne école ou plus exactement l’absence d’école et là est le fonds du problème. Ni Chambre des métiers, ni école de formation, pour enseigner cet art aux jeunes générations. Résultat, ce savoir-faire, et bien d’autres se perdent avec les générations. A Suddaluck, la moyenne d’âge des employées est de plus en plus élevée, sans espoir de renouvellement. Bien finie l’époque où comme Sipay, les jeunes s’enrichissaient des techniques de leurs ainés. Aujourd’hui, les étudiants suivent des cours plus théoriques, sur les matières fondamentales au risque de voir ces métiers traditionnels disparaître.
