Very interesting

thanks

About 10 years ago in Phitsanulok I spotted a HQ with a 2.4 Nissan diesel engine.

Last year I spotted a parked 1970/71 Ford fairlane (light yellow in colour). I wondered what the orginal engine size would have been for Thailand for the Ford.

better check is the stut pattern on the bellhousing is the same otherwise you will be buying an other moter as well

Do her farts smell? If they do you are in trouble

Why not show the french guy instead of the "victoms"

I thought that as a non Thai you are not allowed to rent out any condo(s) you own. It can only be for own private use.

Am I wrong with to believe in this?

thanks Lickey and much appreciated

Hi Maizefarmer

Yes sweetcorn that is what I was thinking as human consumption.

Maizefarmer, how many rai of maize would it take to feed 1 cow per year and what else would you need to feed it and how many times a year can you harvest if you irregate.

Thanks jopham

Hi Maizefarmer

Thanks for your quick reply

The corn you grow is it same as corn for human consumption or is it strain especilly for cattle?

Thank Jopham

Hi Maizefarmer

I did read in another thread that you have also live stock.

My question is

Do you feed your live stock any of your corn or is your corn grown only for human consuption?

Thanks jopham

Thanks Lickey

From which web site did you get that?

Thank johpam

"idea for having it is plant some euco, make chicken house, some fish lakes, and leave a good part of it for rice, and veggies.

5-10 driving minutes far from my home"

Is there someone going to live at plot of land if not, you will have no chickens or fish left IMHO

Hi jaideeguy

you might have to change your signater to nuwdam.

In my area Phitsanulok 9 years ago we bought 10 rai with no roadaccess but was jointed to some land we had before which has got road access. It did not haven a proper title (it took 7 years to get one) for 11 000 baht per rai. Now it worth about 25 000 baht per rai.

Post 5 should have read

(I think max is 40 ton, correct me if I am WRONG please) instead of (I think max is 40 ton, correct me if I am please) I have to learn how to edit and spellcheck on this webside.

Thanks John

Question: what is your minimum lenght of your lease?

The question should have read :Question: what is your minimum lenght of your lease? or you own the land

Gee Maizefarmer that is a very big piece of land in one hit. Did you have to put any roads in there?

I really do not know if sugarcane farming is very proffitable or so so. Last year we planted 35 rai and used the crop to plant 135 rai.

The family planted 2 1/2 year ago 12 rai and has grown to 200 rai. They tell that they use 1 ray to plant 4 rai and they have not sold any sugarcane yet. This year will be the first time that we will sell to a sugarcane mill.

The truck will be mainly used for our family, no plans to do any contractwork untill we know what we are doing. We have no expirements with sugarcane.

The family told us that the 100 000 baht insurance inculdes rego, insurance and truck comes with number plates valid for the whole of Thailand.

The truck will be ordered next week and delivery wil take 8-9 weeks so we will come to thailand at the end of october and have a look.

Thank John

My family and I have nearly 500 rai of land and its is consist of many plots of land. I think the biggest plot is about 55 rai and the smallest is about 9 rai. I think ther are about 21 plots. The one which is furthest away is about 10 kilometers from the farmhouse.

Question: is your situation the same? In particular Maizefarmer who I believe has got 1500 rai, is this in one piece or many?

My family and I have got nearly 500 rai of which 280 rai is owned and rest is leased. The leased plots are always for a minimum of 6 years so we can improve the land and get a better result.

Question: what is your minimum lenght of your lease?

Thanks you for your replies and advice

I am looking at buying a new Hino (model FM1ANLD) plus trailer because 1st I have been told that their fuel economie is up 10% better then the previous model and 2nd I and my family do not trust a second hand truck maintained by so called Thai mechanics.

In answer to Maizefarmer

Its a 10 Wheeler with 6 wheel drive and net payload on the truck is 17 ton and simular for the trailer. I think it its total gross weight is going to be higher than the maximun allowed (I think max is 40 ton, correct me if I am please) so we will not be able to fill right up.

I want full comp.

To C-sip-degree

I did not know that there was different number plates so I think we need the number plate starting with 30 because were the farm is located its near the borders of Phitsanulok, Sukothai, Kamphaeng Phet and Phichit provinces. Some of land is in Sukothai province but the bulk is in Phitsanulok province. The sugar mill we are using is locate in the province of Nahkon Sawan about 90 kilometers away.

Thanks John

A short introduction

Hi my name is john and I have been married to a Thai lady for 12 years. We are living in Australia. We have got about 20 rai of teak trees (8 years old),20 rai not in use and 170 rai of sugarcane and my Thai family has got about 200 rai of sugar cane and about 80 rai of bananas and rice.

I am in the process of buying a new Hino truck and trailer (3 200 000 Baht plus insurance and modification)

We or the inlaws have never bought a truck ever before and the truck dealer tolds us that the insurance is about 100 000 baht per year. Is this a resonable amount for insurance or should we pay less and which insurance company is the easiest/best to deal with?

Thank John

If it keeps big trucks and buses from going up there I m all for it. They should have never been allowed up there in the first place.

Maybe all trucks, busses and pick ups (and no personal vehicals) should be all up there and they would not clog it all up down stairs

He had probably been off duty, doesn't matter.

There's a pix in Dailey Xpress - the car was in no condition to drive away.

Another tragedy, one death, one life ruined and families torn apart for years due to a few minutes of bad judgment. Sad all round. But it happens everywhere, everyday.

Plus, were you able to tell what make car it was? Expensive?

I hope the policeman's family is taken care of.

No mention if the Policeman on the motorbike had also been drinking though?

I wonder if he was wearing a helmet

So a 50kg bag of 15-15-15 will (should) contain 7.5kg of N.....7.5kg of P....7.5kg of Kg and 22.5 kg of filler.

Phosphorous is one of the more expensive components so fertilizer high in P will be more expensive.

just question

7.5kg of N.....7.5kg of P....7.5kg of Kg and 22.5 kg of filler

that only adds up to 45kg could it be that there is 27.5kg of filler ?
