Where can i get the resources i need to start a eel farming in thailand ? thanks.

I was told there is a training centre base in cm area , anyone knows where is the exact location ?

I am looking for Thai companies that can manufacture a particular product, so I thought I might try the Board of Investment to see if they might be able to help. I visited their website and then sent them an e-mail. The e-mail bounced back as undeliverable. I then tried to call them several times using the numbers listed on the site, but there was no answer. After that I saw a link to Suppliers and Partners and clicked that. That links to a page entirely in Thai. Not a problem for me, but certainly for the majority of people who would be looking for suppliers. That page wasn't very helpful, and the links at the top were not working as well. I haven't been down there for almost 8 years. Has anybody had better luck than I have recently? Any suggestions for other sources of info? Product is an automobile distributor cap.

If you wanna automobile products you can go to pechaburi area where there are lots of factory manufacture oil filter ....

Thanks Joel, this doesn't exactly add up to the information I had a couple of months back but it gives me an excuse not to go, which is what I'm looking for. A mate's coming over in July and I'd foolishly told him that I thought there was a regular service into China and he was hot to go. I'll talk him into something more comfortable like a nice drive to Nong Khai via Loei and Chiang Khan followed by a couple of nights in the flesh pots of Vientiane.

something tells me redbicycle's not a "Farang" Western non-rice eater...

Loei's great. Wish I'd ever spent more time there. Pi'i ta Khon festival especially. coming up, I think...

flesh pots of Vientiane? think I found one once. wasn't much but I had a good time.

Will always remember a singer in Nong Khai, though, going on about "Tai Tai"... something Chinese about minor wives. break through the boredom in NongKhai and you're in!

yeah , i am not a farang... i am from from singapore.... i do not need any visa to go to china but in the boat there are two german with me i suppose german are farang.

No , i am not offended at all.... I am not sure cos i am not in thailand at this moment. you can drive to chiiang sean and many will tell you where you can get your boat ticket there. Four len is charge 30% higer than those tour in chiang saen. Please get someone who can speak simple mandarin to go with you.

Redbycycle's Germans are the first farang I've heard of doing it.

I certainly think it's great that it's possible!

Four Lens also has an office at Pratu Siri Intersection (by "Money Massage" and the new SandwichWorks);

when I inquired with them about help getting a Thai driver license (years ago) I was not impressed with the results.

When the owner of the Honda shop immediately across Pratu Siri Intersection showed me photos of his boat trip up to China on the Mekong, I most certainly was impressed!

but as I said, accommodations are not great.

real adventure, though - sure.

For your info , four lens tour is very expensive, they are quoting me 5500 baht one way.... just go to chiang saen , there are cheaper tour there. Regards

Can anyone please enlighten me as to the availability of hiring a car with a driver/guide to run us around the north of Thailand in June.

I made a similar request in Chiang Mai and received some good advice and now seek to contact a company or individual offering this service further north.

There will be four adults and we feel this will be the easiest way to do it without having to familiarise ourselves with the local driving customs and their inherent dangers.

i know a guy he is very interested in this job but he cannot speak english well,,,,,,, 800 baht (+ fuel)

I do have some worms that can supply to you guys. please pm if you guys are interested.

If I were making my own feed right now I would need about 1800kg per month of 60% protrein dried matter basis. What is your supply volume and at what price?

rgds

Depends on the season you order, usually i will quote around 800 to 1500 baht on large volume order. IF you are serious please pm me .

800 - 1,500 baht per...ton?? of dried / wet earthworms? Clarity would be useful. Please post some photos of your operation.

Did i wrote its per ton ?? IF anyone mistaken for per ton basis i apologize but its on per kg including transports.

Have you any idea how many worms it would take to end up with a 20kg bag of dried worm ?? It would take a huge operation to generate enough for a commercial fish food or additive ,price would be prohibitive against other protein sources, apart from some specialist mackeral fishing fishmeal and meat-meal is derived as a by-product from more lucrative operations.

It would be a far cry from growing worm for their castings by a gardener.

I completely agree. And we'd be looking for tons of dried worms each month! I can't see anyone doing that!

really, DONT PANIC. a dog is a dog is a dog FOR THE MOST PART.

go to the training tips and puppy tips that i gave to someone....

about feeding to prevent food aggression= always introduce food using your hand, never take away food

even now, u can socialize him with people and dogs, and teach him where his bed/place is. use the bed as a 'safe' area.-- no kids can handle him when he is in his bed.

when he gets too rough, send him to his bed for two/three minutes and then call out to come and play. DONT play power games where u lose , such as tug of war. keep him well excercised. a tired dog is a good dog.

as a young puppy, u as the 'adult' must remind him that he is the puppy, and submissive to you. if he bites, punish him, not as bambina said (sorry bambina but never with newspaper etc cause the dog just learns to be afraid of newspapers. and if u dont have one available?) . use a bit of force, grab him by the scruff of the neck, shake him a bit, growl (the human equivalent is a bit of cursing in any language, using a low snarly voice, like an adult dog growling at a pup) and put him a way from u. then ignore. after a few minutes, play with him again, try to keep the playing fun and the minute he gets growly/bitey aggressive, stop, scruff of neck, shake and etc. he will learn that it is more fun and worth his while to behave if he wants something.

use small small tasty treats when u call him to u and he arrives. no matter how long the time lag. this way he learns that it is worht his while to come to u. later, u can try a toy. (not sure if BK like to play with toys or if food is the better motivator.)

be very very consistent with him. be sure u know what u excpect from him, and he knows what u excpect from him. bear in mind he is a baby with baby manners. keep things short, sweet, firm and no power plays. always stop when he has done what u expected. never one step more.

never use force if not needed. do not be afraid of him. he is still just a dog. he is smaller then u. u are smarter then him. he is a baby. but NEVER NEVER NEVER LEAVE ANY YOUNG DOG WITH A BABY ON THE FLOOR OR ANYWHERE ELSE THE DOG CAN GET TO THE BABY. get yourself a crate. if BK are like other 'den' dogs, they enjoy their 'den' getaway area. and u can quickly train him to stay there quietly when strangers are around or baby is on the floor or you are busy. google crate training on the web.

AGAIN, DO NOT, DO NOT USE FORCE IF IT IS NOT NEEDED AS U WILL CREATE A HARD DIFFICULT DOG. TRY THE LEAST METHODS FIRST, THE 'HARD' METHODS FOR REALLY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. the equivalent of using a 'hard' bit on a soft mouth horse. a good way to ruin him.

teach others your rules. people who dont follow your rules in your house with your dog, then either the people shouldnt be there, or the dog should be in his crate. (my boxer goes to her bed and stays there when people who frightend and inclined to kick dogs come to visit-- (unfortunately many kibbutzniks are afraid of boxers/rotties etc. and kick or hit with pocketbook/bags when friendly boxer sticks nose in crotch. this avoids creating agression problems_)

thats it in a nutshell. neuter before male behavior sets in. go to obedience training to learn :

sit/heel/down/stay/ and how to deal with territorial guarding behavior to your advantage (we want a dog to bark and seem agressive -on command or according to the situation- not an uncontrolled attack dog who bites any stranger in the yard.

he's just a baby. play with him. feed him at regular intervals. two/three feedings daily at the momen. stroke his whole body, often, gently (dont tickle him, be firm) including his ears, and balls (dont twist them, just cup them and his penis too!! an area that babies love to grab and dogs hate to be grabbed there.)

good luck hope this relaxes u somewhat/ (basenjiis are nastier in my opinion and less predictable)

Hi,

I would like to add to Bina's excellent advice, that educating such a young puppy gives many advantages as it hasn't have rooted in behaviors yet.

When educating the pup, try to pay special attention to what kind of behavior you want to see from your pup, instead of focussing on what you don't want.

For example:

* Young puppies are inclined to follow their higher rank (which is you and your family members), use this when you leash train it. REWARD every first step it does in your direction, followed with every 2 steps, every 3 steps, etc.

* REWARD it also when it comes to you when you invite it to come, and even when it is meal time and the pup comes.

* Give a sign of acknowledgement, such as a smile a friendly word or a pet, when the pup is outside in the garden or when you take it on a walk. Very young pups will keep an eye on the higher ranks. They have to, according their survival instincts, just in a similar way as a small child will keep an eye on the mother or father. If this is not on a regular basis acknowledged/reinforced by the owner or care-taker, why should a pup continue showing this behavior, therefore, REWARD this behavior.

* It's a dog's nature to sit or go down. Reinforce this behavior and REWARD it, as often as you can.

* Always keep in mind that pups and dogs that have not been (properly) taught the basic commands, are NOT stubborn when they 'don't listen'. They just don't know what you are talking about.

* Always keep in mind that many 'rules' are human rules. Dogs will by nature follow their own rules. Human rules need to be taught in a clear, consistent and gentle way. When the dog does something well according the human rules, REWARD it.

* Please, avoid a choke chain, especially on your puppy, but use a leather or nylon good-fitting collar. Chokers were designed as a training tool for those dogs that did not obey a command while already fully trained, and used as a correction tool (but only until the 'good' behavior was shown, after that the good behavior was reinforced and the choker was not necessary anymore) Unfortunately, the choker became generally accepted as a 'normal'collar, and used in dog obedience lessons as a tool to drag a dog into all sorts of positions, and to punish it for all behavior except the one that was required at that particular moment at that particular place. Most of the time not taking into account the learning processes in the mind of a dog, the behavior (development) or the life stages of the dog. Choke chain training is punishment based training, where the focus is on the undesired behavior.

Just imagine that you are learning to drive a car, and each time you make a wrong move, or you are too slow, too fast, too left, too right (although nobody exactly explained to you in the first place what that 'too' is) your instructor will poke you in your ribs. After a while, you WILL understand what your instructor want from you. But how do you end up feeling about driving and about the one who applies the punishment? Therefore, by using a dog-friendly collar, try to keep focussed on the 'good' behavior and distract the pup from 'bad' behavior (which can be, btw, total normal natural behavior in the mind of the dog)

* When the pup shows friendliness towards strangers REWARD it.

* When it wants to play (friendly) with other dogs REWARD it.

* When it shows fear DO NOT reward it with attention, comforting words, petting , picking it up, but try to distract it from the 'scary' thing and the REWARD it for proper behavior.

* When the pup picks up its toy to play with, REWARD it with attention or a game. When it picks up a shoe, you can make a 'growling' sound by saying uh-uh in a hars directive voice with an angry face, then exchange it for its own toy/s, followed with playing with your pup, making the toy and your interaction as a REWARD for good behavior.

I hope that I have been able to make you understand that reward ALWAYS is better than punishment.

Further, as said before by Bina and Bambina, socialization is the key to a well-behaved dog. However, the socialization period runs from about 3 weeks of age till approx. 3 1/2 month of age, after this all impressions the puppy has gained should only be reinforced and always POSITIVELY.

So, play with children under super-vision, that the pup does not get run over, get scared or bullied, or exhausted. Strangers who bring a treat for the dog, when they come to the house, and will squat down in a non-threatening manner in stead of towering over the puppy or inviting it to jump up.

Car trips to the park for a (free) walk, lots of play (under supervision) with all sizes and sorts of dogs, instead of trips in the car only to the vet.

Trips to all other sorts of environment, that you think your dog may encounter later in life.

And last but not least, be very clear and consistent in the do's and don'ts. For example: If you don't want your dog jump up at people once grown up or after rain, you should not allow it from puppy on. Dogs do not distinguish in now and later.

If you start out right with your puppy now, you will have the highest chance on a well-behaved and well-adjusted dog later in life.

On the Net there are lots and lots of information available on obedience training and behavior (problem) development and how to avoid this. Just google: dogs, canines, positive reinforcement, clicker training, to name a few.

Wishing you good luck and lots of fun with your puppy.

P.S. As Bina already mentioned, neutering a (male) dog at young age often prevents certain behavior to develop, such as roaming, mounting, excessive territorial behavior, dominance agression. (although, behavior is a combination of genes and hormones and what the dog learns). On the other hand, neutering at young age can also have some disadvantages. I have written an article on this subject which you read on my website. Please, see my PM (you call that I think) for details.

Thanks for all your advises ...... Bina, nieke and mach .......

Oh god, what should i do now bambina ? any solutions ?

You have to make him know , who is the kosher dominant/boss.I don't mean you have to punish him by hitting ..But don't spoil him .. yell him sometimes(not hit.. just use a roll of news paper hit your hand for treathening the dog.)

You may take him to see a vet for nuturing when he is 6-12 months old (12 is better)

You should take him out often ,Let he know doggy's society and also Human's society.

If you have a kid, dont let your kid beat him for fun. Many dogs get mad with kids because of 1)jeleousity 2)kids bothers them by improperly playing (kick ,sqeeze and slap)

HM The King has a Ban Kaew. Thongdaeng.

You're wrong

I thought in his book about Kh. Tongdaeng, His Majesty says he believes she is Basenji (Egyptian breed) mixed?

You're right

PS. just realize that My post is a bit similar to November Rain(the 5th post)

IMO, you're lucky it's a pup. You can start to train him now to avoid the worst problems. I would imagine (having no experience of these breeds) that food, territory & people/other dogs are going to be the worst areas. So, you should immediately start training him not to be protective of food or territorial. Socialise him with a lot of different people & dogs from a young age, both take him on walks to meet others & bring them into his territory. Try to make the people as diverse as possible; men, women, children, different races. Ask macb & bina for specific training tips. If you start now, you might find he'll be fine. Behavioural problems are caused by owners a lot of the time. Owners get these strong "aggressive" dogs as a status symbol & don't train or look after them properly. You have the opportunity to do it right, as he's so young.

I would also get him neutered at about 6 months, if I were you. It can reduce aggression hormones & you don't want to be responsible for loads of half BK soi dogs, do you? Good luck.

Thanks , i will take your advice.

IS he as dangerous as what my neighbour told me ?? if yes , anyway to stop him from being so aggressive ?? THanks all.

Yes, 80% of Bangkeaw dogs are aggresive especailly in male dogs.People think BK dog is a loyalty breed and love thier owner but this breed is dangerous for stranger and kids.

I have met many owners who can't control their BK dogs.

Oh god, what should i do now bambina ? any solutions ?

your dog is too young... give him soft food from the tin like cesar and cooked meat small cut.

look here for more info on this breed

Thanks . i am giving him rice with small pc of chicken now.

I just got a bang kaew and wanna to know more about how to raise this dog ...... He is only 46 days and i heard from neighbours saying that bang kaew is like PIt bull, Its very dangerous especially to young and the old. My questions, what food or special attention should i give to the dogs now as i am mentioned he is too young(46 days)

IS he as dangerous as what my neighbour told me ?? if yes , anyway to stop him from being so aggressive ?? THanks all.

My husband and I have been living in Bangkok for nearly one year. I have a non-imm B visa as i work as a teacher.

We would like to move to a smaller province and open a 'community centre' type thing. We would probably need to also run it as a coffee shop or something to cover costs. We would prefer to run it as a non-profit organisation, to provide community projects such as free English lessons for the poor, and playgroups and advice for young mothers etc. We expect to both be working on this project full time.

We know nothing about opening a non-profit organisation or charity in Thailand and most of the information available seems to be for busnesses centered on making a profit.

Does anyone have any information on how we could go about setting up this organisation, and whether this is even possible. What will we need in order to open such a place? Who should we talk to? Will we need a Thai partner? What visa's can we apply for? Can we open it as a charity?

Any information on starting a non-profit/charitable place for the Thai people would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks.

The answer is that.... dun do what is belongs to thai, as a soldier i will take the organization back , this is my duty.

Had a phone call this morning from a very good and reliable Rottweiler breeder(Thai)

announcing his litter. Parents are imported champions and very beautiful with a graet personality.

Around 2 months old and 9Kg!

Have a look:

HOw much are you selling ?

I told my seed supplier about timothy grass but he dun seems to understand, anyone have the thai name ??

My niece got thalasemia, she need breathing device to survive now. SHe is in chiang rai hospital now , any hematologist to recommend in chiang rai ??

The hospital should be able to recommend one if there is one available in CR. I just talked to my wife and she said that when she was at Suan Dok (Maharaj Chiang Mai University Hospital) they had Hematologists on staff. Although it may be more convenient to be in CR, specialty medical services are probably better handled in Chiang Mai or even Bangkok.

The disease is normally, as you probably already know, handled with blood transfusions on a bi weekly basis.

There are a couple of places you may be able to get more information:-

Hemoglobal This is based in Canada and deals with Siri lanka but may be able to put you on to a Thai alternative.

Canadian site with lots of info.

Thai Society of hematology

Hope that helps some.

Thanks lukmar , its help ...... deferoxamine is expensive for the this her family definately but My sister has promised to help ( tho i dun know how long she will help)

My niece got thalasemia, she need breathing device to survive now. SHe is in chiang rai hospital now , any hematologist to recommend in chiang rai ??

My daughter has a less serious form of thalassemia than the one you mention.

The symptoms didn’t appear until she reached puberty. She would fall asleep in class, felt tired all the time and generally lacked energy. Numerous visits to doctors over 5 years failed to find the cause.

The doctors thought it may have been caused by heavy periods or her just going through the teen years. She was given a birth control implant at an early age and prescribed folic acids along with others supplements.

It was only after another Thai family member was diagnosed with Thalassemia after a series of blood tests that the true cause of my daughter’s problems was found.

Fortunately she is able to control the effects with diet.

I wish your niece the best, I’m sure someone in your area knows a hospital or doctor they can recommend.

Thanks farma,

I post at this time cos she seems serious , can't sleep .......

Thalassemia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalassemia

I think the Thai spelling should be ธาลัสซีเมีย

Thanks sweet ball , my niece seems very serious as she need breathing device and got to change her blood to survive , she is now in chiang rai hospital, her parent is not very well off. My sister in law wanan help the poor litttle gal no matter how much is it. Do you have any hospital of doctor to recommend ??????????
