Ps can anyone tell me how to do the box thing with quotes

You didn't leave a "mai" out you added an extar one.

It is "mai, mai,mai,mai,mai" and it translates "new thai silk does not burn

Ok I'd accept "new silk does not burn" cos thai for silk is mai as well, but where 's the "thai" come from.

wrote all the "mai"s " the same for effect , cos in english you cant put the tones or long short vowels ect... we've only got 26 letters inc vowels. And if you put a "does it" on the end of your sentance you'd get the extra "mai"

Hi I know i'm not in Issan,but Nakon Sawan, which I assume is a simular rural enviroment, but i think the land is more productive here. We (my wife, myself and her mum) have a dairy farm in Nakon Sawan. Contrarary to popular opinion its big buissiness her, we hav two co-operatives within 7 km of our house with a combined total of around 120 farms on their books (although most of these have only about 10 head).

I have 40 full grown milkers and about twenty calfs, and am in the process of building a new milking parlour and barns to expand to around 100 milkers. I was an aircraft engineere in my previous life so had no knowlage before hand, but we started small and learned. Opened with 10 cows as an experiment, and it worked. We currently sell about 400kg milk a day thats about 5000bht and my costs are about 50-60% work it out its a good living. Been doing this for two years now, I dont want to make out its a get rich quick thing, a cow will cost about 40000 a head you need land, barns and a milking palour, so ther is a fair investment and really you have to try and learn things for yourself.

I was lucky my wifes mum had 65 rai of prime land here which she singed over to my wife on our wedding day, ok I invested a lot of money here as well but land here sells for around 100,000 a rai, and her mum gave us a house as well (Had'nt been lived in for 7 years but is now really comfertable).

The dairy farm uses about 14 rai and the rest we grow Corn, Cow Fang(don't know what it is in english) and peanuts we can get three crops in a year here with the most cash from corn. Alternatly grow shugar cain a bit less profit and only once a year but very little work, I'm not an expert on the growing things leave that to the motherinlaw but we make about 200000 a year of it which we split. My mothering law also has a shop so she is pretty set up, she used to rent the land out but now makes more money, buy growing things, thays why she let us have it, had a lot of stuff but no cash to do anything with it, and selling land her is a last resort.

Anyway Korat is even bigger into the dairy buissinesss Chok Chai farm in Pak Chong (i think) is the biggest dairy farm in asia.

Any one wanting to know mare drop me a line

And, does any of your significant others completely mix Thai and English even in one sentence or even mid-word? Just now 5 seconds

how this one from my wife " I mai loo put tee ni", Translates to " I dont know where I put it".

But you are right i do it all the time as well

The road up is pretty good, you dont need to go as far as Nakon Sawan, if you turn off the asia highway just after Ingburi singposted Tak Far and then straight up to Pitsanuluk, roads not as good but quiet and shorter, should be there in 4 hrs and should get a taxi 300bht no prob.

Been living in Nakhon Sawan for 4 years now, have'nt really got into the bar scene here, do they have one? There are a few in Takhli, but it's to close to home.

Does anyone know of any good places in Nakhon sawan. Also if you live here drop me a line or PM me. There's not many of us falangs up here.

Hi this is my first post here.

Get your thai GF to sa the sentance "new wood does'nt burn does it".

Translates into "mai mai mai mai mai mai", may of left a mai out but never mind.

Another story. New years eve, we were sitting out side my house, and a thai friend of mine says toinght we have "cow dow", I look at him and sat "What I know kai dow (fried egg) but not cow dow (thinking its something made from rice, thai for rice cow). No he says " you know cow dow 10, 9, 8, 7, 6......" . If you havent got it count down at midnight.
