Thailand Birth Rate Nosedives: 81% Drop Surpasses Japan
kickstart replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
That is right, about majority of patients being older, it will be a case they will be a lot more of them, needing more staff to look after them. Watching the nurses working in a hospital ward it will be a very long time before any AI robotics make any one redundant, a robot giving an injection IV, moving patients about, not in our lifetime and what about some interacting between patients and nursing staff, it keeps some patients going. Robots doing the cleaning serving food yes, taking over a lot of nursing jobs cannot see it . -
You are not giving a lot away, where in Thailand, are you looking ,garlic likes cool weather ,you are coming in January, by then almost the end of the cool season ,come to mid-February starts to warm up ,garlic will not grow ,unless you are on top of a mountain in the North of Thailand .and most of the harvested crop would have been sold ,or in store waiting to be sold. Most of the Garlic in my area is white garlic, as the wife said they is no red garlic in Thailand, we have purple garlic, you do not mean the red shallots type onions.

Thailand Birth Rate Nosedives: 81% Drop Surpasses Japan
kickstart replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Long story short, wife's daughter is in our local provincial hospital, looking at the wards the average age of women must be 60 plus, the nurses are doing a good job. As it is going, those wards are going to get fuller with older people as the demographic's change, and the doctors and nurses, and all the ancillary staff to look after them will be getting less, as it is the ward is 90% full. It is a problem worldwide with no real answer. -
This subject of lower rice yields in Thailand use to comes up often over in the farming Forum, the sense of opinion is that the land lack a lot of organic matter, any form of animal manure, needless to say would help, but the problem of mono culture of rice is the problem ,rice is a cereal crop ,it will use up all the soil nutrients. To solve the problem a crop of say Mung beans or Sun Hemp, both legume crops grown to say 60 days then ploughed in, can be done before the main rice planting or after harvest, would help. Why is it not done? cost of seed and planting, then ploughing the crop in, never done it before afraid it will not work ,the government will pay us 1000 baht/rie ,up to 10 rie ,that will do me or been doing this job for X years now not going to change now. Yields will continue to drop Thailand will drop further down the table of rice exporters, just hoping as the OP said the famous Thai Jasmin rice will sort them out which it will, but for how much longer, most of that comes from Issan, where they are most of the above problems.

kickstart replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I would say I am like a lot of AN members ...............What is the White Lotus, if it is a Thai soap, not many people outside LOS will watch it, cannot see it helping Thai tourism. My sister in the UK watched a Thai series on Netflix she said it was ok, but not again. -
7-Eleven Teams with British Embassy to Boost Thailand Road Safety
kickstart replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The odds of any one at7 -11 speaking enough English to give advice about riding motorbikes in Thailand will not be high. Unless it will be one with in shop leaflets? How many farang tourists actually use a 7-11. Note, Wifes granddaughter works at 7 -11, rides a bike most of the time no crash helmet, has no driving license, a good example for the tourists. -
Duran, not an easy fruit to grow, look around your area, if they are no Duran orchards then they will not grow, I am in Lopburi province, I have tried Deran 2-3 times just do not grow, and they are non-grown in our area, and as far as I know none is grown in the province That purple bulb you can cut it off it as the tree grows, it does help he tree to produce more fruit, then if you do not cut it off, but some will get cut of, as they do make a nice Tom -Kar- Gie, a Thai soup. When the fruit has been cut off as Dr T said cut it down for a mulch, the plant will grow, but it will not bear any fruit for a second time. Papaya, you can buy the plants cheaply from any market, I get them for 20-30 baht each, go for Kek Dum or Holland verities plant them let them grow, no need to chop them at all, but beware I brought some plants, and one is a male plant now 8 foot tall, it will not produce any fruit. Mangos, again not one of our successful crops, just do not like the hot weather I have tried 2-3 times to grow Ogg-Long, verity from seed they get up to a foot tall then disease sets in, that is it, just go a buy some well grown plants, or look on the net at grafting. My land has flooded which does not help, when planting a tree, I dig a hole 18 inch deep, put some stones in the bottom then some compost, from ort few cattle, then plant the tree remember not to deep, the stones help drainage.

It's a small world, we drove past just as the accident happened, she was not trapped under the truck, just laid in front of the back wheel. I thought right, she was very local just going to the 7-11 about another 500 meters up the road, no crash helmet. When I was kid, I used a push bike to go to the local shop. how things have changed.

Ask at a local nursery, or one of those roadside places that sell fruit trees, I have brought a few in the past, not easy to grow, do not like the really hot weather, give them a bit of shade I do not know what verity lemons are here in Thailand, but the fruit are not the nice shiny yellow ones we have, more of a lime color. Lemons in Thai seem to be known as Manow-lemon.

I also make my own ,most ingedent you can sause here in Thailand look at Lazada,recipy from the net.

If this reconstruction image is what it will look like I cannot see it working, 500 ton a day, with on truck with say 15 ton of waste, that will be 33 truck loads a day, cannot see any outside storage space, will the trucks just tip straight it to the system and away?. With logistic and management, and thing that can go wrong, it could end up being a mess.

2 Yr Old Fino spluttering then stopping?
kickstart replied to JeffersLos's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
If it has a fuel pump the engine must be FI, not a carb ,which makes sense as most new bikes are now FI, that would be the problem, the fuel pump or the, I think? the senser, that meters the fuel needs cleaning, I had this problem on my Wave, that was cleaned then no problems. -
Can a sidecar motorbike(saleng) be legally registered?
kickstart replied to sanook 1's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
No,we have 2 in our household if you renew the por ror bor and the bike has to checked over you have to remove the side car and take the solo bike .it is just the solo bike that is registered. I have to remove my sidecar every year,then put it back on again afterwards.if the bike is not yet 5 years old.no check is needed you can renew the port for bor no need to take the sidecar off. -
2 Yr Old Fino spluttering then stopping?
kickstart replied to JeffersLos's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Sounds to me if the engin is hot and stops it is a fule problem,get the carb cleaned .by using a air line,and,if they can,check the float hight ,wrong float hight will stave the engine of fule. As I said before,what color is the plug. -
2 Yr Old Fino spluttering then stopping?
kickstart replied to JeffersLos's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
What color is the spark plug and what is the gap? renew it, if it is black burning oil, or running rich, rings, piston worn, air filter? White plug running weak, blocked carb, leak/lose, in/on, inlet manifold, if it is a rubber one?. Could be fuel filter ,that Lazada post said the fuel filter is inside the fuel tank, Burning smell drive belt? you will know if it is drivebelt, you can hear a noise from that area., or oil leaking from the engine on to a hot surface, normally the exhaust, head gasket? Ask around for a good repair shop, they are out they, just got to find one. -

Thailand plans 14 new floating solar farms to boost renewable energy
kickstart replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Water from Thai dams is not used for drinking water, most of Thai drinking water comes from underground aqua's. Or some might end up on farmers' fields, as water is pumped out for irrigation. As for water and electicity mixing, look up the world's largest floating solar farm. -

I keep the Por-Ror- Bor, and the insurance, under my bike seat, stuck to the underside of the seat, have done for some years now. I know it should be on display where it can be seen, so far, no problem.
