    Director defends 'Hitler scene' in Thai govt film

    in Thailand News

    Posted

    I can understand the outrage in many of the posts here. But please don’t call it stupidity. After all Mao killed way more people than Hitler and was celebrated by Andy Warhol. We called that art.

    Maybe the wide use of Hitler’s image is more of a way for Thais to be provocative regarding the so-called western superiority often expressed in these pages.

    Abhisit Slams Thai Government On Amnesty Move

    in Thailand News

    Posted · Edited by Hermeric

    Abhisit Vejjajiva, leader of the Democrat Party, was referring to a decision by the Lower House on Thursday to designate the bill a top priority for debate when Parliament reconvenes in August.

    Abhisit threatens and attacks Parliamentarian democracy, again.

    Zhou Zhou: I don't know what planet you are on. Certainly not the same as the majority of Thai Visa users. Now answer this question honestly: Where do you stand on the political spectrum? Would you have supported Hitler or Churchill? What is interesting to me is that you are so predictable and you have not answered previus points I have made. There is nothing in what Abhisit has said that could lead to the point you make. The job of an opposition leader is to point out the pitfalls and errors in any administration's actions. This is surely what Parliamentary democracy is about. Unike Thaksin who would brook no opposition which is not what Parliamentary democracy is about. What you say in yur other post is absolutely off the wall and incorrect. Come on ZhouZhou, get real and start to understand, not only the nature of democracy but also the nature of fascism.!

    Get Real????? Abhisit is Churchill and Taksin is Hitler I suppose in your "real" world?

    Abhisit and the Democrats have not won one national election in over 20 years? Taksin did. Massively. And would still do it if allowed to come back to Thailand. That's the reality.

    And i don t that like that reality more than you do. But until the Democrats or another party offer something better...

    Want To Buy Shredder

    in Farming in Thailand Forum

    Posted

    Hi,

    I am also looking for a grass shredder to prepare compost. There is one shop in Bangkok selling those too-big-for-what i-need shredders: http://www.alizonna.com/%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B7%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B4%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%87%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%A1%E0%B9%89-%E0%B8%A2%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B4%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%87%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%A1%E0%B9%89-6.5%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%A1%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2-GCES6580/AL/8665

    I found out that the Chinese manufacturer also makes some smaller machines which would be better suited for me: http://www.chijiang.com/Product_Detail.asp?ID=754 but could not locate a supplier in Thailand.

    Have you ever come accross those or similar shredders in your research?

    Thanks,

    Eric

    Immigration Conduct Random 'Surprise' Drug Tests Of Foreigners On Sukhumvit Soi 3

    in Bangkok

    Posted

    People. A 'hit' rate of nearly 50% would suggest that this was hardly a "random" search. They knew where to look and who to look for.

    Unless you all believe that a 50% hit rate is a fair representation of the number of foreigners taking drugs...

    Personally I despise the "guilty until proven innocent" approach and would suggest that these tests were a rampant violation of human rights - but at the end of the day it's their country. That said, "if you want to get high, do it elsewhere" is not an unreasonable message...

    50% hit? if beer is considered a mind altering substance, a drug, well 50 seems a rather low figure.

    Legumes As Cover Crop

    in Organic Farming, Smallholding and Kitchen Gardening

    Posted

    Thanks for the link. Yes i mean Arachis Pintoi, apparently called brazil nut in Thai although this is not brazil nut. Innoculant? I have been looking around but did not find local supplier yet. Interestingly, i read in this forum some guy growing beans (various kinds) with plants developing good nodules (pink inside) without innoculant. Some rhizobium might be present naturally.

    Cheers. Hermeric

    Legumes As Cover Crop

    in Organic Farming, Smallholding and Kitchen Gardening

    After nearly 20 years in Bangkok, I feel I need a bit of fresh air. A Thai friend of mine of mine “gave me” (30 years lease) a 5 rai piece of land in Chonburi province, just bordering Chachoengsao. So the idea is to gradually develop it into an organic garden/orchard.

    The land includes a few fruit trees (mango, rambutan, rose apple) and about one rai of old dragon fruits that I am thinking of getting rid of. The rest of the land was used to grow cassava for the last season.

    For this year, I am thinking of keeping the fruit trees and plant the land with legume. The idea is to minimize the work to keep the weeds away and bring a bit of nitrogen to improve the soil. Searching this forum and other web resources I read about legumes like thua lisong tao (ถั่วลิสงเถา) or brazil nuts (ถั่วบราซิล). I would be much interested to learn from estimated members of this forum regarding these or other legumes in Thailand. I would also be interested to buy seeds to plant about 3-4 rai of the stuff.

    I would also be interested in any organic farm experience in Chonburi/Chachoengsao or lower Esarn region to visit. Thanks
