By Saronkorn Seuyouyong

This very popular form of fragrant water is made from freshly
gathered flowers and contains no alcohol. The flowers used are
selected for their sweet and lingering fragrance, some of the
more common ingredients being the flowers of damask rose (Rosa
damascene Mill.), jasmine, “lam-chiak” (Pandanus tectorius Bl.),
“kradang-ngaa-thai” (Cananga odorata Hook.f. & Th.), orange
champaka (Michelia champaca Linn.), “chammanaas”(Vallaris glabra
Ktze.),bullet wood, “lamduan” (Melodorum fruticosum Lour.) and
“chan-ka-pho” (Vatica diospyroides Syming.). Other ingredients
used include the leaves of fragrant screw pine, the inner bark
of “chaluut” (Alyxia reinwardtii Bl.bar. lucida Markge.),
sandalwood, Siam benzoin, jasmine and hyacinth (Hyacinthus
orientalis Linn.)oils.

Thai-style fragrant water is applied liberally onto the face,
chest and arms during the hot climate. It is also recommended
for use in cases of fainting. A thick made by mixing scented
marl with fragrant water is used as an anointment in various
ceremonies.

Thai Hom Mali rice is indigenous to Thailand. In the past, it
has been variously labeled as "fragrant rice", "jasmine rice",
"aromatic rice" or "scented rice". This variety of rice can only
be grown in the hot, sunny climates of Southeast Asia. However,
Thailand has developed three varieties of Thai Hom Mali called
Khao Dok Mali 105, Khao Jao Hawm Klong Luang 1 (KLG1) and Khao
Jao Hawm Suphan Buri (SPR-A), which have produced higher yields
and higher resistance to diseases and insect pests. Therefore,
Thailand has become internationally recognized as a leading
exporter of this unique rice.
