» On a country road, I make my way past vast rice paddies that extend all the way to the horizon. Except for a few thatched-roof huts under the shade of a Mon-style golden pagoda, there is nothing else to interrupt the stunning view. It is close to harvest season and the fields are turning gold. Such impressive scenery reminds me of the word "Suvannabhumi", the golden land in Southeast Asia mentioned in records more than 2,500 years ago.
