  1. I'm looking for a online Thai seed site

    Only looking for packets of seeds not bulk

     

    The packet requires to have the botanical name in English for customs 

    Last time in Thailand the Makro ones where ok, name in English

    But the ones I bought from the local shop where all in Thai so I got these confiscated by customs

     

    Mainly looking for herbs, vegetables

  2. I agree not a lot to do

    but I still love it around here.

    You definitely have to try to go native

    ie. weddings, house warmings , temple celebrations ,death anniversary parties , etc

    but a lot of this involves alcohol which is fine for me.

    Since my wife's family has a farm a large proportion of my time is spent fishing there

    The Wichian river has LARGE mekhong catfish in there as well.

    Si Thep (about half a hour south of Samort Thot)

    has a historical park - old Khmer temple relics + even some dinosaur bone pits

    at least worth a visit.

    Doi Ling Ling (monkey mountain temple)

    GoogleEarth 15Deg 44' 55.58" N , 101Deg 02' 08.67" E

    which is a few km's from Samort Thot towards Wichian on the east parallel road is worth a visit early mornings

    but the temple is basically now deserted , they got fed up with the monkeys

    & the Thai army bombed the monkeys again for artillery practice

    bring some monkey food & you're bound to find some/or too many

    but beware my wife calls it cobra mountain for obvious reasons..

    Nightlife - not much BUT

    the Wichian hotel/pool has a band most nights (Thai rock) , you find the most people here.

    Near the wichian market main street T junction (100mtrs east) is a small Carabao type band , not too bad but no people,

    GoogleEarth approx 15Deg 39' 27.35" N , 101Deg 06' 43.43" E.

    I've been told the restaraunt near the river at Phetchabun is meant to have good food but I haven't been there.

    Hotel at Phetchabun is supposed to have a disco on weekends.

    Does anyone else have any GOOD nightlife places

    though it has to have at least SOME customers for people watching

    I'll even travel as far as Phetchabun if it's good enough

    good food &/or good music (prefer Thai rock not morlum)

    P.S. So what/where is the Toffee Bar in Phetchabun ?
