Legend
and folktale
|
|
|
The name "Khao Sam Roi Yod" derived from many
reasons such as there are Sam Roi Yod tree or 300
peaks of mountains but the most people told that a
long time ago, a junk sunk from the strom, many people
were dead. 300 remainder people lived on island that
call "Koh Sam Roi Rod", later the sea level
decreased, so that island changed into mountain,
Villagers spoke an inaccurate phrase called "Khao
Sam Roi Yod", to presume the area of sinking that junk
called "Ao Ta Lay Sab".
For
the folktale.......

Province. The beautiful daughter of Mong Lai grandfather
and Ram Phung grandmother named Yom Kom. Chao Lai from
Phetburi and Chao Krung Jin ask grandgather fot marring

Sao of Chonburi province in the east; Second part

Yod, Prachuap Khiri Khan in the North.
