  1. We have checked the wind direction ,for the past 2 months ,with the cool weather it has come from the East, from where Cambodia is, look at the weather map. In my area, a big sugar cane area, most cane is cut by machine ,no burning before hand ,in fact farmers have been saying ,the que for a machine to cut their cane is long, the sugar mill is going to say open longer ,to receive the cane, so farmers do not burn the cane ,and then get cutters in ,famers are afraid the mill will shut before they can send they cane in.
  2. I have used the PO, I wanted to send 50 kg of sesame seed to Issan, PO said max weight was 25kg, so I just put it in 2, 25 kg sacks, got they in 3 days. You will have to break it down into 3 boxes, or whatever, as has been said, not expensive. Kerry are the same, max wight 25kg.

  4. Thanks for the replies, also thought it was just after departure immigration to , could not see it last time I went though, hence the post, saves me a trip to my local office.
  5. Hi all. I am leaving next week, I would like to know if the immigration counter is still open for a reentry visa, I could do it before I leave but trying to save myself best part of half a day, by not going to my local immigration office. Thanks
  6. Correct, they is one near me, known as Moo Bann Thucksin, Thucksin's village you paid 500 baht/month for 25 years and got your house. When the coup come only half of the houses were built, that was then, still now a half derelict sight with half the houses still left from then, the then military government just stopped work over night, anything Thucksin was just left. See photo, taken 4 years ago
  7. It will be at least April, end of, before you will get any major rain, you are like us, cental plains, with the cool weather lasting a long time this year, the Eastly wind is just drying everything up, our grass field has more cracks in it than on top of my old gran's fruit cake,all the gras has dried up, and it is not yet even the start of the hot season.
  8. I just completed this quiz. My Score 80/100 My Time 103 seconds

  11. Google, Giss Marketing, they sell veterinary products and farm stuff, they are at Huai Kwang, more to the north of Bangkok. Failing them Lazada or Shoppy.
  12. It is the same where I am, a bit south of you, what I have noticed it is the Chow Bann, villagers, that burn the roadsides not the authorities, and if you notice it is done early evening time, all the local government staff would have gone home by then. Also in our area, our sugar mill has been open for 1 month not seen a load of burnt cane go to the mill yet. and last year our local mill received 1.5 million ton of cane, very little was burnt. But ,no such thing as a free lunch, our cane is now cut by machine, secondhand ones imported from Australia and Brazil, a local guy we know has 500 rie of cane ,he showed me his diesel bill, for the most of last season was 100 000 baht ,most of that was fuel for his cane cutter ,he rest was haulage costs for trucks and trailers hauling cane to the mill ,hardly Enviornmental friendly, for the cane cutter, I now see a procession ,cane cutter going down the road ,followed by a truck and trailer ,then a tractor towing a large diesel cart,.............before it would have been the cost a box of matches.
  13. Funny you should open this thread, the wife had the radio today, on and for some reason they played a piece of Enio Morricone's, ,The Good Bad and the Ugley, and I said I must watch that film again, been a while, still love it, then of cause it will have to be, A Fist Full of Doller's ,and a Few Doller's More.
  14. Low? before, for both New year and the Songkran festival, for years the death total was 300, maybe up to,320, looks if this year will beat that. As for the 50 000 personal managing traffic ......before they use to just sit and read the newspaper, now they sit and look at their mobile phones all the time, in-between, gossiping and eating, .....progress.
  15. No, they will get Chine in to-do the building, or like the UK are doing, using the French company EDF, and they will help them run it. Don't panic, it will be ok ,it will be the cost that will be the problem, the new one being built in the UK was budgeted at 26 billion GBP, now it could hit 46 billion GBP, I will let you work that out in baht, with the new Thai submarines expecting to cost 13.5 billion baht, they seem cheap.
  16. What did I do to my bike? my Wave with 148k km on the clock has had a slipping clutch for some time now, so took it into my local shop. The main problem was the centrifugal clutch, same idea as a chainsaw, was well worn, the main clutch basket had a lot of play in it, and the clutch springs were worn, the clutch cork plates were pretty good not that worn. So had it all replaced now ok, one thing the clutch springs are heavier than the old ones. making, for now a stiff gear change, but now a lot better than before. Total cost 3500 baht, most parts were genuine Honda parts, now working well.
  17. I go with the Snowy,not bad for a IPA, I find the Beer lao to sweet ,but is or was Calsberg ,as Calsberg built a plant in Lao a lot of years ago
  18. Re drains, I was writing metaphorically knowing Bangkok, that will be one of the biggest problems, if the F1 calendar say the race will be heled in the rainy season with Bangkok's history of flooding, they will be a lot of work to do, it is a big area to drain ,and where would the water go ?no nearby canals/rivers to take a big deluge of water from a monsoon storm, and the work would not be done overnight ,and at what cost?
  19. At least all the roads in the area will get completely resurfaced, will end up as the best roads in Bangkok.
  20. Do what, you think Mrs Somchie selling her pork at the local weekly market will have a nice DLD sign on her stall .No, I was in Big C last week no sign on the pork stall ,people buying pork think of one thing that is price if one stall has the sign, the next has not and they pork is a few baht cheaper, they will buy they pork from them. That 20 million pigs raised annually on 10 major farms, I thought my Mathes were right after checking that is on 10 major farms equals to 200 000 pigs farm, OK take away the other farms, call it 150 000pigs/farm, been in farming for a lot of years that takes a lot of believing, cannot see it
  21. You put engine oil in the motor it is a 4-stroke engine. As for the pump that has a crank case, you could put the same oil in that, you should have a handbook with both engine and pump. As the old saying goes, All else fails, read the handbook.
  22. You say that, if you spoke any Thai, just ask any Thai about his stance on the drug problem and the way he did away with the drug dealers, they will heartily agree with Mr. Tucksin ,it was not only in the aera s mentioned in the op's but my own area also they were a big decline. ask my wife and many others, best thing he ever did. The problem is now bigger thana before, you can now buy a Yar-Bar tablet now for just a few baht. before it was 100 baht /tablet and thar was 10 -12 years ago. The last president in the Phippens did the same thing a few years ago, gave the police a free rain, that worked, but he also got a lot of criticism.
  23. Most garlic here in Thailand is planted in our autumn, harvested in January /depending on where you are, in my area Lopburi ,we have a big festival near her in February, known for selling garlic and the red shallots onions. often just harvested. One problem with Thailand is that they are very conservative with a big capital C, meaning that like the same things all the time, as I said the white garlic is mostly used, the garlic you want not so much is grown ,finding growers that grows it might not be easy ,your best way would be contract growing ?,finding farmers willing to grow the crop. The big problem would be as you said, is the soil chemistry or lack of, Thai soil is not that fertile, soil organic matter being the main biggest problem but as most garlic is grown on 2-3 rie ? plots that could be overcome, the carrot on the stick, would be saying to the farmers you would pay them a bit over the odds to grow your crop, but you would have to know about growing cost etc. to work a budget out. Have a word with AN's drtreelove, he is our soil expert, and he lives up in Chang Mie.
  24. Good point, in the UK farming is being strangled by tree huggers and Environmentalists trying to save the countryside from big bad farmers, they seem to forget people need to eat ,no farmers equal's no food. As you said other counties are almost the same.
  25. No, the farmer that's rents the land will get the money, as they will be registered with, there local agriculture office, the office that oversees the payout. The wife's daughter and son in law rent they land and have done for 15 years, almost about the same time, they have been getting they 1000 baht/rie. I think you will find nearly all the small rice farmers will be getting they 1000 baht/rie ,word soon spreads. It has come up again getting farmers to grow another crop ,not easy rice fields are designed to keep water in ,grow any anther crop and it will get waterlogged and die. land can be drained ,by using a large subsoiler and tractor to break up the land so water can get away ,but that costs money, and the equipment has to be found ,then as I said in another post the soil fertility has to increase before any other crop can be grown ,if not you will have the same problem again ,and will they be a local market for the newly grown crop ?,as most Thai agriculture crops are sold locally.
