One thing i love doing on my weekends is to get out and discover different parks around Bangkok and believe me there are many parks in the city of Bangkok. This park called JJ Park in Bangkok i discover not long ago and it's a huge area of park land i have been back there twice now and have spent several hours walking around this park and i still i haven't seen it all. This scene i discovered and captured last weekend i actually thought or yeah more Banyan trees but no these ones they call Albizia Saman Tree it is a species of flowering tree in the pea family called Fabaceae.
When first looking at this tree i thought this would be perfect scenery for a scary horror movie the way those roots are crawling out of them trees in every direction possible ready to grab you and swallow you up into that trunk never to be seen again. It's just amazing the way those roots are all connected leading somewhere like a big brother network.
Apart from this looking like a horror tree it does have multiple uses it is a very good timber for it's light wieght soft but strong it is very ideal for furniture , panelling and carving. It's a very moderately durable wood even used in boat building because it's very durable against rot and termites.
This tree even has a amount of medical uses also like the liquids extracted from the inner bark and fresh leaves are used to help with treatment for diarrhoea and stomach-ache and the bark itself is abundant source of gums and resins.
Another amazing thing about this tree it blooms in certain season throwing out beautiful puffs of pink flowers and the actual seeds of this flower are chewed for treating a sore throats so we know now why they call it the multipurpose tree apart from all the other names this tree has and why it is also known as the Monkey Pod Tree is because the monkeys gather around these trees to eat the seed pods of the trees that would be in the Amazon jungle where these trees originated from.
So you see as they say never judge a book by it's cover well never judge a tree by it's cover this tree in truly ugly and scary looking but look at all the useful aspects it has it wants to make you really love this particular tree.
