And his mate Deniss Lily, and at the time a certain Mr. G, Boycott decided he was not available to play for England. Note: the world second best spin bowler Jack Leach, was also injured, that could have been a game changer for England.

In fact, from TMS radio, Sydney has had the most day washed out in Ashes cricket 25 in total, as you would expect none in Perth, next two grounds are in the Uk.

I have seen them make Thai sausages, the twine is just ordinary plastic string, farmers use it for tying up stooks of sesame seed for drying ,and other agriculture jobs, it is just split down into thin threads to tie the sausages up with. Just asked the wife she said the same.

That is Thailand for you, nearly everything has sugar and salt in it, I always say Mi-Si-Num-Tung-Si, no sugar.

You love BS, yes, they is powdered milk in Thailand, that is made into your flavored milk, all the rest is fresh milk, most say pasteurized milk on the bottle that is fresh milk that is posturized. Talking to some dairy farmers today it seems that abut 30% of them have given up, just uneconomical, so in that light, the market is down 30% in fresh milk, which seems about right with shops being shot of milk.

We have couple of places selling, Nam-Dow-Hoo, soya milk,in the morning and one guy does a good trade selling in the evening, they are normally a hand cart selling it ,you can tell by the Bar-Tong-Goor, fried doe, stacked up at the front of the stall . Try the Nam-King, ginger drink that is nice, but do not let them put any sugar in, just too sweet same as the soya milk.

That is BS no milk comes from Malasia I just said if Thailand dose not have enough where would it come from??? ,milk powder comes from Aus and NZ, no milk comes from they, have you ever seen milk with "made in Aus or NZ" in the shops ,answer, no .

Isn't Rayong,or Rain-on as someone once said, known as the wettest place in Thailand . I am in Lopburi province, so far this month we have had 21 mm of rain, now corn crops are dying due to lack of rain, and some rice crops are looking a bit dry, but most are not even planted yet, no rain, things running well late this year.

They is no government price control, I know someone post a quote from somewhere saying they was, it is the milk companies that dictate the price, they pay the milk center's/co-ops that sends their raw milk to them, and it is that milk centers /co-ops that pay the local farmers. Thai dairy farmers have no on farm cooling for milk so milk is picked up from their farm twice a day taken to a local center for cooling and storage, then it is sent to the processing company's ,each milk center/co-op has a contract to supply raw milk to a company.

What other countries?? Malasia is the only country that could sell milk to Thailand, but they have they own market. nothing to do with the election, fake news. Milk is one fresh food that is not easy to transport a long way in bulk, unless it is UHT milk, and I will drink Chinese tea before I put UHT milk in my tea. As I said yesterday, Thai dairy farmers are giving up no money in feed prices too high to make any money so a shortage of fresh milk, and they debt burden, the problem will not get any better, cows are not taps it will take a long time to get back to former production, if ever.

You are right the reason is the very poor diet of the Thai cows, main problem being very low-quality forage rice straw being the main souse of forage resulting in low BF,butter fat, and protein in the milk, hence not easy making cheese at home. Note, Maji is a Japanese's company being a 51 -49% ,with CP ,hence Maji milk available at all 7-11's

Wrong, I live in a big dairy cow area the reason is the profit margin for dairy farmers is very low, over the past year concentrate prices have gone up, along with other feed suffs so dairy farmers are giving up. Most dairy farmers buy in all the feed stuffs, very little if any is produced on the farm, the farm gate raw milk price has gone up it is now, depending on milk quality it is 20 baht/kg. Thai dairy farmers are from the most efficient of dairy farmers, average milk yield is 12kg/day/cow, in our countries it is about 25kg/day, so any changes in the input costs hits them hard ,and most are also in debt to the bank ,or the milk center /co-op, who borrow money from the bank ,then loan it out to the farmers at a couple of points above base rate of cause. I think it could get worse, as more farmers give up, Thailand never was self-sufficient in milk. importing raw milk ni on impossible, milk powered is imported mainly from Australia, have heard China a swell but not certain, that goes into your flavored milk.

So true,but this being Thailand, the opposition would have found something else to accuse him of.

Export of British beef ban was lifted in 2005 ,but export of beef to Thailand was allowed, but the regs were revised only in 2018.

From the LP Who's Next, very appropriate, who will be next.

And you will go bust with in 6 months, just look around your area at coffee shops as to how long they last, same with food stalls.

As I said yesterday, if him at the top of the ladder says no, which lot of people think but will not say, Pita will not be pm and he knows it, that is why he is trying to change things, but it is like pushing s#@t up hill .it will not happen. Another sad episode for Thailand.

If you are a Thai farmer with a crop of maize in the ground that is about to die due to lack of rain you would not be very happy And unlike our countries they are no government subsidy on corn so the farmer, who is already in debt to the bank, will get even more in debt. Wifes son in law rice has had to re seed his rice, no rain the first crop died, but he had go to a local guy to buy some more seed not cheap, another few thousand baht off the bottom line.

I have had some people say he will not become PM because they/him at the top of the ladder, and the proposed ?? changes to the lese majesty.

How dose Essex girl turn the lights off at nighttime? Shuts the car door.

I use this, good stuff ,I also use it on gutters ,

One reason you can get TV playback over here is that the BBC sell a lot of programs other countries ,when the BBC took Top Gear off air they also lost a good few Millon pounds from rights. If you want to listen to the BBC just use BBC Sounds, I do most days on my mobile phone.

I just brought a new computer from a shop in our local town a new modal to, ticks all the boxes, except one they do not speak English, and that will be your big stumbling block . So, buy one online likes of Amazon they will send to Thailand ,or as has been said JIB, they are competitive on prices.

They are Wagyu cattle in Thailand ,and most Thais know they value a lot better than your Bos Indicus things. But it is finding the market for the premium price they should command ,no use asking your cattle dealer to buy your Wagyu, as he would have no one to sell it on too. They are company's that will buy Wagyu ,one in Korat, that is a co-op and very fussy they are to, must use certain breed of Dams, Charolais x Brahman, they is another company is Surin ,they sell locally AN's Kwie Bar has been involved with them. But, it is not 100% Wagyu ,the breeding comes from Australia, even then it is not 100% Wagyu only cross breeds, farm near my has an imported Wagyu bull from Aus ,one guy I know had some semen from an ET, Embro Transfer bull, again that would not be more than 50% Wagyu?over here a lot is put on dairy cows ,so by the time you have your calf it could only be 30%? Wagyu. But they are not over popular a lot of farmers say they are too small, Thai's like big cattle, one reason you do not see any Jersey, or Jersey X cattle over here in dairy herds, despite the fact they would do well over here.

The bank will be BAAC,The Bank of Agriculture and Agriculture Co-ops ,Tor-Gor-Sor in Thai ,they basicity loan farmers money, some time on short time Ie money to buy seed and fertilizer then pay it back after the harvest is sold. Other loans would be long term ,ie to buy land, equipment . I live in a big dairy cow area, I know farmers that have up to500 000 baht some plus loans, money to buy stock build cattle buildings ect It is the sugar cane farmers with the biggest debt, since the ban on burning cane, in some areas, a lot of large cane farmers have brought cand harvesters costing 2millon plus baht, secondhand imports, wife knows a cane farmer wo has a 1-million-baht loan. I read somewhere a while ago with compound interest it would take Thai farmers 50 years to pay back all of their loans, as BAAC is a government bank, they try not and foreclose loans.
