Based on the famous quote from the inscription of King Ram Khamhaeng, Nai Nam Mi Pla, Nai Na Mi Khao ((In the Water there are fish, in the field there is rice), he focuses on the issue of water, which has always played a major role in Thai culture and society. Ruangvit juxtaposes the situation of water in the past with its contemporary contexts
.In the Water there are fish, in the field there is rice, is a very famous quote from the past. My house is on the bank of the river. Water is the main element in our lives. Ilove on the riverside, and benefit from the water in the river. We use it in our daily lives as a traveling path and to drink from. It is one of life's major necessity."When I'm hungry, I can find food from the river, There are many animals available in the river. It's not that difficult to find. It's sufficient and I'm full. When I want to relax or clean my body, water freshes me. Floating on the river I feel good. When I need to travel or communicate , the river transports me. I use it to network and communicate with friends and family, to exchange information, social life, culture.
