Shopping Thailand's Cactus & Succulent Fair - Ep 138
When you visit Chiang Mai the same day the premiere Cactus & Succulent Fair is going on-you have to go, right? Well, I'm glad I did, because this was an opportunity to capture the late Chanin Thorut and my friend Home share their joy for cacti and succulents.
***
This episode is devoted to botanist, Chanin Thorut. Chanin started his love of plants in early childhood-and later become a pioneer in several plant groups, including Hoya, Bromeliaceae, orchids, and cacti and succulents. During his professional career, he imported many foreign species for propagation, along with writing articles about them in leading house or gardening magazines in Thailand.
Chanin also explored many remote forests and discovered several rare, undescribed species, including a brand new Bulbophyllum from Khao Luang National Park in Nakornsri Thammarat Province, and later named it after Dr. Tem Smitinand as Bulbophyllum smitinandii Seidenf. & Thorut 1996.
In term of Bromeliads, Chanin is well known and a leading authorities in Hybridizing Dyckia. He imported the first batch from many different places and creating new hybrids in his backyard. Some of his well known hybrids are Dyckia 'Charlot', Dyckia 'Pharaoh', Dyckia 'Cleopatra', and also named several sports from other's seedlings or offsets that look very special; for example D. 'Diamond Crown', D. 'Yakuza' , and D. 'Tsunami'.
Chainin joined us on our trip but didn't come up the mountain, as he wasn't feeling well. He was later rushed to the hospital in Chiang Mai during the hike and passed away hours later at the hospital from heart failure on October 29. Chanin always shared his collection and thoughts to beginners.
He co-authored the ‘Succulent’ Book with Pijaya Vachajitpan and Pavaphon Supanantananont. It was later translated into Japanese.

Hello, I,m from Thailand . I'm pretty sure that a lot of people have been missing him. It would be an honor to share your video to the Thai Cactus and succulent communities. Our groups are getting bigger and bigger these day. I would love to share this if you don't mind. Thank You so much.

Feel free to share. I would love that; and I think the community there will appreciate that. I am also getting the previous episode translated in Thai, which I think should help, but it's such a complex language-on top of the botanical nomenclature and botany terms, that it will take about two weeks for them to get the subtitles in. But feel free to share. Thank you.

It had a great phrase on the back too; I made sure to include it in another episode edit.
So glad that part of Chanin's collection is going to be displayed at Sirikit BG and shared with the public. It is a lovely homage and, cannot help but imagine, that someone with such a passion, would be proud of that.
My deepest condolences to his family and friends. May he RIP
Lovely that you have this record of his love of plants & his willingness to share his knowledge

i can sense his kindness and love for plants… thank you for sharing a little bit of mr chanin’s life with us
Your energy is truly infectious that you got him to talk about his passion. He will truly appreciate this from heaven above 🌿🍃 thank you Summer, condolence to his family 🙏🏻
So young, terrible news, privilege you got to share him with us, his legend will live on through textbooks, plants and memories.
As someone obsessed with caudiciforms/caudex plants, I'm always rewatching this video.
I'm not ready for all the emotions in this, RIP and may he be in a better place.

I like to believe that when we pass and get to heaven. We're allowed to paint our own canvas. Kind of like the movie What Dreams May Come. Although I don't like the part about suicides. I believe if we are so tortured in life we may get a second chance at it. When you say in a better place I pray we get to enjoy the thing's we're truely passionate about in life. We're surrounded by those we love. May he be among all of the thing's and people that brought him so much joy and happiness. 🙏 🌵🌸🌿
What I appreciate about you, Summer, is your genuine desire to esteem others better than yourself. You bring so many of the world’s unknown wise and caring sentinels of our green cohabitants on this planet to the forefront. I truly enjoyed meeting Chanin and watching this very personal side of three individuals fellowshipping over their passion. So inspiring. You and all whose lives were touched by the gift of his presence are in my prayers. 💚

Thanks so much for your sentiments. I share with people that what gets me out of bed every morning is not what I know, but what I don't know, and that's one of the ways how we cultivate an engaging and inspirational life. I'm so pleased this channel can be a platform to share my and others passion; and pleased that We could... In some small way... Document Chanin's passion before he passed from this Earth.

i just noticed this was filmed last year. Its mind boggling to take it in, cant wait to join you in the upcoming adventure Summer! too bad your videos end, every week its like i want like an a day-long 💚
Euphorbias are amazing! He seems like he was a kind person.
By far my favorite episode. So many plants I haven’t seen before and so many I have added to my wish list. Loved all the Atrophytum. This was such a thoughtful and meaningful video for your late friend and his family.
This is the first time l am seeing such a large variety of plants. They are beautiful and rare. Thanks for sharing.
RIP Chanin. Sharing his love with you Summer. So touching.
Thanks for this episode. He was such an enthusiast.
This was fascinating! So many varieties...just AWESOME and these guys know so much and what I really like is that they enjoy sharing the KNOWLEDGE with such ENTHUSIASM! Thank you HOME and CHANIN! So happy you were able to meet CHANIN before he passed, what a beautiful tribute to his work and memory! Thank you Summer🌵
I really love this video with Home and Dr. Chanin. They're cool to be with when you're scouring plant markets. I'm amazed at Dr. Chanin to identity these plants at a drop of a hat. It's such a shame that the plant world lost him too soon. Also, It's my first time to see so many kinds of euphorbia. The only ones I know are those huges ones that had been a rave years ago. They've become miniatured as i saw in your past videos. The Thais really are amazing when it comes to plants. I love watching videos of their fish market too and it also makes me think they really give importance to both agriculture and aquaculture to produce such amazing plants (and fishes). Thanks for this video. Looking forward for the next one.

May his soul rest in peace. Hope all his hard work and collections goes to someone as passionate as him. Come to think of this, life is so fragile. Summer, thanks for remembering someone like him.
So far, that is one of my favorite videos that you've made. How extraordinarily knowledgeable that man was, what a great loss. But not going to lie - who else besides me gets excited when they talk about a plant that's already in your collection? 😄😄

I collect cactus & succulent some years ago. I understand his passion! 😊 Love his Gimnocalycium mihanovichii shirt! I would love to know him. Beautiful video and tribute 💖
Watching this was incredibly heartwarming. 💚🌱
Amazing, totally overwhelmed with all of the plants. This man is totally amazing with the knowledge he has and shared with us. Thank you Summer for sharing a very interesting video.
Thanks for sharing, great video!
This was so interesting to watch, all those gorgeous hybrid cacti and succulents and the info about them! A beautiful tribute to Chanin.
What an amazing man he was, I love watching/listening to people when they speak about their passion.
I absolutely love your show I was so exited to see a new one 💕and with such meaning ❤️
❤️ it's amazing how you guys conversed, like talking about your own family matters, thanks and may him RIP
Super awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks sooooo, much.
R.i.p a person loving nature going back to nature.. the place he came from.
This was so fascinating to see such vibrant and cool looking species and hybrids, and it’s convinced me to visit Thailand at some point! Thank you for also introducing us to Chanin as well, I am excited to look into more of his works. May he Rest In Peace ❤️
Loved this so much. Incredible plants and wonderful to hear three experts talk with such interest and enthusiasm. He was obviously a pleasure to spend time with. ❤️🌵❤️
Love taking in this knowledge from such wonderful people who know so much. May he Rest in Peace
A beautiful reminder, that we are all scheduled to return. Thanks for sharing.
My condolences to family and friends. Thank everyone involved in bringing such a beautiful collection of plants and sharing. I've been to Chiang Mai twice and didn't know they offered such showings.
A great plant lover. Well conversant with plant world. Really miss you !
What a gentle and kind man, and a wealth of information. I didn't realize till the end (missed beginning) and realized with sadness that he had passed. So much information also.
Thanks for this video. He was an ocean of knowledge and information. I felt this should never end. May his soul Rip.
Whenever I travelThailand I usually spend my whole time visiting plant nurseries. Thai people are real artists and this is clearly reflected on their love to plants and creating colors and hybridization.
This is amazing, very precious. Bless his soul ♡
So great to see Chanin... he was such a great source of info on plants and cultivation. He got me hooked collecting Dyckia after seeing his hybrids on the dyckiabrazil blog. Many thanks for sharing.
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing Summer.

Wow! Just found this video, wonderful information being told to us by some very knowledgeable people.
Wow, this video makes me want to go to Thailand!
Simply amazing how latin can transcend all culture and language. Thank you, Summer.
Thank you for this! May he rest in peace
Amazing CnS & caudex plants shop, marvelous plants. 😍 Thailand breeders are one of the best. From Philippines, thank you for sharing this video.
Beautiful collections 👍
My Ariocarpus were all ordered from Miles To Go in Arizona. I had them all planted in mineral soil (basically sand and granite dust) , sitting in bright sunlight for at least 4hrs. daily. Water only late May through end of September once a month. Fertilize 1/4 label directions wit synthetic only once or twice a growing season. Mine grew quickly! Patience is key!😉👍
Vale Chanin 💚 may you be resting in the most beautiful garden
So sad such a brilliant expert and plant lover left us untimely 😢 May he RIP! Thank you Summer and the team. Very informative and cool video ❤️
So interesting. I'm so glad that Chanin Thorut's enthusiasm for the plants made him overcome any shyness about being on camera since the video was really enriched by the details about the plants that he could share. This series has been very special Summer and will be remembered. Again, my heartfelt condolences to Chanin Thorut's family, friends, and colleagues on his passing. One day I hope to visit Thailand and see some of his collection on display as you mentioned at the end of the video.
