 Bunyong
Lertnimitr's love of stones and rocks has meant a lifetime
committed to his passion of collecting them and seeing beyond
their cold surfaces
He spent much time trading stones and pebbles scattered along
the river banks and that was the simplest way for him to appreciate
the intrinsic beauty of stones.
His current path, however, is still scattered with stones,
albeit in a different manner.
The zealous devotee of rare stones, Bunyong Lertnimitr, allows
his imagination to run wild while looking at stones of different
shapes, size and patterns.
Over the decades, he has collected some 100,000 stones in
his collection and given them captivating names.
"A wide variety of sea, mountain and river stones stir
my imagination. Some stones look like animals: bears, frogs,
dogs, penguins, and owls.
In 1999 Mr Bunyong established the Rare Stone Museum. According
to Mr Bunyong, stone museums do exist in China, Japan, Korea,
and Taiwan. But his is the first of its kind in the Kingdom.
The museum has attracted many visitors who have come from
as far afield as Denmark, Sweden, South Africa, Spain, and
France.
"The stones are very beautiful and extremely impressive.
The titles the collector has given them are very reflective
of their nature. His labour of love literally takes my breath
away," said Patrick Nagle, a tourist from San Francisco.
In the future, Mr Bunyong plans to build a new and permanent
museum to meet international standards. But with a limited
budget, his project is on hold.
Apart from the Rare Stone Museum, last year Mr Bunyong also
set up the Rare Stone Club which has 10 members. The members
often get together to exchange ideas and discuss the stone-collecting
situation in Thailand. Mr Bunyong has visited many countries
in search of rare pieces. China is his frequent destination. |
