I  have   been  sick   for   awhile.    Have   sores   that  do  not  want to   heal.  ADVISE  PLEASE

I  live in Muang Nakhon Ratchasima,  (Korat area).  I want to grow strawberries  but  not sure how  they  would do in heat and heavy amounts of rain we receive every year.  Does anyone on this  forum grow strawberries here in Thailand. I would love to hear all about  it.  I am also  open  to  any and all  comments.  Thank you.

People  need to get serious  all over  world if  they want this virus  to  pass. Wearing  a  mask, social distancing,  washing hands often, all  help   as staying home as  much  as  possible.  However,  nothing  is  as  effective  as  prayer.  The  Lord  Jesus  does  hear and  answer prayer.

Will comfrey  grow  in   Thailand?  If so how  do you  grow it?  Where  can  comfrey be  purchased,  roots  or  seeds.

Back  a  few  years about 2007  I  inquired  on  ThaiVisa  about growing Comfrey and  received  several  replies.  Today  I  would  like  up-dated  information  on the subject  as  well  as  the  information previously received. Please let me  know  where  to  buy or  obtain plants or seeds  and  any  other information you may have on the subject. Thank you.

WOW,  that is no country-bumpkin farm. Looks first class and great. Thank you

My Thai wife seems to  think that we can grow  date palm trees here in Thailand.  I know nothing about how to grow them.  First I would like to hear from  others who have grown date palm trees in Thailand.  What can you say?  Is it a good idea or a waste of time? Is it possible? If you have trees already growing and producing fruit I would love to hear from you.

Hello. I need some help.  My Jackfruit trees in the past and now my Mulberrie trees all of a sudden start to die and are dead in less then a week. I have been advise by a local that is is a type of worm that attacks the roots of the tree. Next day or two the tree drys up and dies.  I need to know the name of this worm and I especially need to know how to kill these worms.  What type/or name of stuff will kill them.  They seem to be spreading from on corner of my yard with the mulberry trees and slowly moving across my yard.

I have a pest control company that comes every 3 months and no more red ants. The little green boxes from BigC never worked.

What affect does the products you use have on vegetables and fruit trees? I have quite a few. Are you located in or near Korat, Nong Bua Sala area?

I am posting this topic here instead of a farming section since ants are a problem for homeowners as well as farmers.  Red Ants in my yard are so bad I can hardly walk through my yard without being stung by one. I have three small mango trees, however, I had ants long before the trees.  They are in or around my gazebo, garden, fruit trees, lawn, house, everywhere.  What can be done about the ants? I have tried several home tricks that only seem to feed them. My Thai wife has tried some type of power that only works a little and disappears when it rains.  I thought about having a pest company spray the entire yard and kill them all. However, I am worried about what else it might kill. Fish in my pond. Vegetables in my garden, etc. I need advise. Please give me your comments and ideas. Thank you.

I would like to know the name, address or location of music stores in Bangkok that sell Classical Guitars. I need to purchase one, maybe two guitars that have a 580 mm scale or shorter scale. I know short scale classical guitars are probably not to plentiful here in Thailand, however, I am hoping to be able to find one or two in Bangkok or at least a decent music store that can order them for me.

If you or someone you know has one for sale, I would be interested in that information too

Thank you, bubbaba

I have in the past day or two thought up an idea that might work for year around gardening.  So I decided to add it to this post.

If one put a frame with clear plastic over the garden area as they do for green houses. Leaving the sides open for air. That would offer protection against the hard driving rain. Along with raised beds the garden would not get flooded.  However, one would have to water the garden with a system or hand water. When too hot or too much sun one could spread the green or black sun screen over the frame or just parts of it to control the sun some. Just a passing thought but might be worth trying.

Thanks for all of the comments and information. I added a water tank to my garden area and it is filled from the MIL well. We have one weeping line layed out so far as a test to see how it works. If all is OK I will add five more lines. Maybe later I will add a pressure pump if needed. I also have a hose connected for plants that need water not supplied by the drip system.  Again, thanks for the help.

I have lived in Thailand, Korat area, for a few years and still cannot determine the best time of year to plant the main vegetable garden.  Sometimes I think October - November - December  and maybe January - February depending on the weather.  I started a garden one year in June and it flooded.  This year I started March and April. I am having some luck but it is too hot for most plants. I would like your opinions and what ever else you can  suggest.  I really would like to grow all of my own vegetables.

I live just outside of Korat. Just as hot IMO as Bangkok. I take a chayote fruit with a seed/stem starting out the end of the fruit and plant it.  Only the seed/stem is out of the soil.  I plant directly into the garden soil, no pot. Likes plenty of sunshine, water, and well drained soil. That delicious vegetable grows all over Asia and South America and probably other places too. I grew it in my garden in Hawthorne, Florida. Needs trellis. Likes to climb.

I live just outside of Korat on two rai  for house and garden plus fruit trees. I need to install some type of watering system.  I am tired of hauling  hoses every day and standing there watering plants. We have a well next door, MIL, and we are hooked up to village water. I know nothing about what  I need  or should do.  I need advice and information. Please inform me.

I have been on Non O Visa, retired for the past few years now. I have no money at present in a Thai Bank. I have in the past only had 65,000 plus baht income which is now being reduced to approximately 40 to 42.000 Baht per month. So my question is - could I have less than 800K in the bank and only 40 or 42K in income monthly to qualify? If so, how much would I be required to hold on deposit in a Thai Bank? Thank you.

In answer to several questions about why you would register your marriage. A marriage in Thailand is not legally recognized in Thailand and/or USA if it is not registered in the Ampure Office in Thailand. If you married in Thailand and did not register the marriage, you are still single. I do not know about other countries. Also I would think that anyone who really was serious about his/her marriage would want it registered so as to be legally married.

I would like to know any and all reasons one can come up with for not registering their marriage at the Ampure office.  Since one can hide their true identity when posting on here lets be honest and lay it all out. All reasons a Falang or a Thai would use.

Bluesofa, what is a fiver?   I need more information - Where in Thailand is the guitar located? What is the make/mode?  How old is it? If I am interested, where may I see it?

My Thai chum makes guitars and has a few shops dotted around Ubon. He speaks English...Heart & Soul Music, Ubon Ratchathani..

 

Business is on facebook but he is the only one that speaks English as far as I know and is out and about, but you could just send a message and see what happens..

 

I could have a chat personally with him if you like..

I contacted Heart and Soul on facebook today. They are rebuilding Guitar Custom Shop at the present time. What I need to know for future use is: When will rebuilding be complete and they are back in business? And mainly, do they make or can they make a Tenor Guitar.? Not everyone knows what a Tenor Guitar is including me a few months ago  - so I suggest one go to U-Tube and listen to TenorLord. That man can really play a Tenor Guitar. Many others are on there too. Or, google wikipedia and search for Tenor Guitar.

If you have the time or just happen to see your friend I would appreciate you asking him my questions.   Thank you.

Do you mean a bass guitar? 4 strings. If so, the son is selling his and it's electric plug in as well. Make me an offer and I will pass it on.

A Tenor Guitar is a four string instrument having only strings 1 - 4 of a standard guitar.  A bass guitar has four or five strings and is a much different instrument which is meant to carry the bottom, lower tones of a song, wereas the tenor carries only the higher tones.

I hope this is the correct place to post this request. If not, moderators please move it to the appropriate place.

I am looking to purchase in Thailand a Tenor Guitar, new or used. A Tenor Guitar has only four strings.  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Will updates be posted on this thread as was yesterday or should I go to another thread?
