thanks for the advice tony and hope things are on the up and up for you now,

i have 7 pens, 4 mts x 4.5 mts and two smaller at 4mts x 2.5 mts. i also built a shower / toilet. and a room to use for storage or sleeping if things start to go missing.

its a bit like your place about 400 meters from our house so things could go walkabout at any time.

hi, thanks for all the answers regarding the kg . v pigglet sale or buy,

sorry for the late reply to you all but i use the internet shop and i have been busy finishing the sty,,

i got my first 9 pigglets 4 days ago 1100 bht each i have room for about 40 / 50 but want to start off slow

we have people in yasathorn wanting to sell us pigglets and people just next door but the thai guy next door knows how much i spent on the farm so his prices are up.

there seems to be quite a few pigglets for sale and touch wood the ones i have got are doing fine there about 13- 16 kg

one needs his balls removing he is scratching the femals when jumping on them all the time so ill see the vet up the soi tomorrow

iv had big problems with the thai builders putting the shed together if you know the term tits on a bull you will understand

each time we went to roiet for items we needed to build they took it into there own heads what i wanted ,, not what i told them i wanted,

they just dont get it ,,, but its nearly finished now, thank christ

regards mick

hi all . hope you understand this question.

if you buy a pigglet you buy an item at a given price ,, say 1000 - 1500

but if you buy a young pig you buy by the kg,,

my question is at what stage or age does a pigglet item become a kg item, instead of a single animal is there a rough age group or size

the reason i ask this is i know people with pigglets for sale they have too many to keep and more on the way, my new shed is about one week from finishing

is it better to buy weaned pigglets or wait until they are a little older

sorry for the dribble

mick

the wife got a call from yasathorn yesterday a friend of hers wants to sell pigglets,

as far as i know they are about 10 days old, she had four lots for sale

20, 18, 14, 7, any numbers are ok,

i looked at the farm months ago and its a very good setup very clean, well kept,thai couple ex school teachers

i didnt ask the price but if anyone interested call me and ill give you her number

In 2010 i applied for and was granted a multi o" visa from the perth office they were 100% helpfull. couldnt wish for better service.

yesterday i called the consulate in brisbane to enquire about the same visa,, multi O".. im in cairns at the moment.

well what a difference in attitude, i was informed i needed to be married to a thai.. im not at the moment ,,

i also needed to supply my bank account details from here in australia and thailand, so i suspect they were looking for the 800.000 a retirment visa needs ?

when i told her i wasnt married and had had a retirment visa before, im 62 and got that in thailand, and also had the multi O" before issued from perth

she told me to call sydney and put the phone down,, whats changed ??

i havnt seen anything on the net. but there again iv been in isan living with the girlfriends family for some months so not much internet in the village

regards M

first thanks for the replies

its not that easy to just move the child to another school, its up country and he is 14, very bright, but terminally ill and misses school regularly

[ today he visited khonkaen hospital because Roiet just arnt up to date on his illness,]

the school is 50ks east from roiet in the country and the future wife wont leave the area or her family support,

yes im farang, thai lady = soon to be wife

regards mick

my question,

are thai teachers allowed to smoke and drink while teaching, i think not

for the last few weeks my thai lady's son has been talking about a teacher smoking while teaching,

but last week his mother went to the school to hand in a letter from a hospital dr to let the teacher know why her son had not been to school for 9 days,, he was in hospital [ he has a terminal illness ]

the teacher gave her son a job,, cleaning the school garden as punishment the next day for not handing in some school work,,

while my thai lady was talking to the teacher she noticed he was drinking and was drunk,, in school hrs ...

she was the wife of a very well known police officer before he got killed going to work on his motorbike , and the teacher knows this and knows who she is,

so he put the whisky down, while she was their,

i can name the school and can name the teacher, what should i do, all the pupils talk about this teacher, and other teachers do nothing about it

regards M

also its a yes,,

i flew roiet bkk last thursday and the girlfriend flew back monday ,, but we flew Happyair,, its cheaper. and same times or just about the same,,

regards mick

actually 42 casualties. hopefully none seriouse. god willing no deaths,

hi

my partner wants to get her land prepaired for next seasons rice crop. for many years she has share farmed but because of a dispute with the share farmer [ his share is getting bigger and her share is getting smaller each year ] she wants to do it herself with family help.

the farm has about 8 / 10 rice paddies already in place,= 27 rai but they need disk work before the rainy season

she was given a quote today for 220 bht to disk the already used paddies. is that the going rate?

she also wants to remove some of the dividing bankings/walls to make the 8 or 10 paddies into 2 large ponds making more growing area available and easier fo the tractor to work in the future. the farm is about 60 rai in total..

she was told the 27 rai would cost 60.000 bht to push out the dirt banking walls and re level the ponds. but the farmer who told her that cost is also the share farmer who she told will not be share farming with her next season,

anybody know the cost of disking per rai .. also other tractor work such as bucket work and leveling in the khonkean area,

regards mick

inocent until proven guilty

it does seem a little bit far fetched. but she is your girlfriend of five years i seem to remember.

also i think you said she lost all "her money"

if its proved she lied, well only you know what you will do with her after all five years is a long time.

best of luck

mick

you dont know me either but best wishes and get well soon

you seem like a popular guy on here
