Name this tree, please

Anybody know the botanical name of this magnificent tree? It provides masses of shade and is quite beautiful. 

At least 20 or more have been cut down in our moo baan already this year. It flowers around songkran every year.

The Thai name is jamjuree จามจุรี I believe.

 

The scientific name is Albizia Saman.

Albizia saman, although still known widely by its older botanical name Samanea saman.
