Sangsilchai

Sangsilchai is a Thai word for a type of traditional wooden swing that is really fun to play on! It looks like a big bench or seat that hangs from two ropes on strong tree branches or poles.

To use the sangsilchai, you just sit down on it with your legs dangling off the edge, and hold onto the ropes as someone pushes you back and forth. It's sort of like being on a playground swing, but bigger and cooler because you can swing higher and it's more challenging to balance.

Lots of Thai kids and adults love playing on the sangsilchai because it's a great way to get outside, be active, and have fun with friends. It's also really peaceful and relaxing to sway gently back and forth while you take in the sights and sounds around you.

So there you have it - sangsilchai is simply a type of swing that people in Thailand enjoy playing on!
