I understand that apart from evidence of a 40k income per month, the sum of 400k is required to be deposited in a Thai bank? Does it have to be a joint account?

Some time ago i asked the same or slightly different question(my being the account was in her name).

just go back to the Sunbelt link, read through it once again and you'll find your answer there(like i did)

http://www.sunbeltlegaladvisors.com/Thaila...rriage-Visa.php

I just read through your PM reply, now my mind's in peace.

Thank you very much Lopburi3 for your advise and info, thank you Thaivisa!

Lopburi has given us good answers, and that is what we usually can expect from him.

I'm sorry wilko, but with your replies you are just confusing people.

(and no, I'm not Lopburi)

Lopburi3, i understand that if one have continuous annual extension(non-immigrant O-marriage)

for 3 years, one can apply for Permanent Residence. Confused on which visa that lead to it,

Multiple Entry Non-Immigrant O-marriage Visa obtained outside the Kingdom(does it work like visa-run

upon re-entry for a fresh 90 days entry stamp) and a straight Non-Immigrant O-marriage visa 90

days which later need to apply for 1 year extension of stay obtained in the Kingdom.

Are they the same type of visa?

Regards.

wow great for u all that work

BUT does anyone have any info on applying for a NON imm 'O" based on marriage in Penang?

Original and photocopy of your marriage certificate. On application they inspect the original, compare it with the photocopy and then hand the original back to you.

Photocopy of wife's ID card and Tabien Bahn (I also took a copy of her passport)

2 passport photo's of you.

Bank book or photocopy of all pages of your bank book showing a minimum of 200,00 baht that has been in there for a minimum of 3 months. If you give them the original bank book they return it with your passport the next afternoon.

Forgot to add that the fee is now 550 Malaysian Ringit for a Non "O" multi entry.

What if the money's in the wife's Thai bank account and not in the applicant Thai bank account,

and not enough time to do a transfer from the wife's account to his account to qualify the minimium

3 months period, will it still work? ( I mean...using her bank book to show the embassy official )

Lopburi3, any info on how long it takes to process Non-immigrant O in Penang and in KL?

How many working days will it takes?

next step apply "VISA" extension inside the kingdom.

next step apply "Visa" Stay extension inside the kingdom ...Oh blind me!

Apply: Non-Immigrant "VISA" Type O-Marriage outside the kingdom,

if appoved, next step apply "VISA" extension inside the kingdom.

( sweet looking immigration intern--"Sir? You want infomation to apply what "VISA"?

Tourist "VISA", ED "VISA" or Non-Immigrant Type ## "VISA"?....Bla..Bla..Bla...)

In short, it's a Marriage Visa!!!

rice bran is a rice byproduct and it is high in protein and makes an excellent feed for most animals...including humans

About 65% of the rice nutrients are in the bran, the seed coat (or polish) covering the white interior kernel. During the milling process, the hull, or outer covering of the rice grain, is first removed, and then the bran coat is removed in a step called polishing the rice. The rice bran has always been discarded after milling. Even the rice germ, which is chock full of nutrients, has been tossed out along with the bran. Sadly, discarded rice bran has been the largest wasted food resource in the world.

Why have more than 40 million metric tons of rice bran been discarded annually as unfit for human consumption? The reason is that, very soon after milling, the bran spoils; it goes rancid. Once the structure of a rice grain has been altered by milling, the oils in the bran are attacked by lipase, a natural enzyme. In an intact rice grain, the lipase and oils are isolated from each other in separate types of plant cells. As soon as any mechanical processing occurs, the cell walls are ruptured and lipase meets bran oil. Within a few hours, the fragile components of the rice bran oils become oxidized and unhealthful to eat.

By contrast, white rice is stable. It has a long shelf life and is easy to ship and store between growing seasons. White rice is also quite filling. Yet while the macronutrients in white rice--the starches and sugars--may make the tummy feel full, living on white rice is close to living in a nutritional wasteland. The people who have survived on it have managed to do so only because they consumed vast quantities.

So Chownah...go ahead and eat some 'Kap'...knock yourself out!

They feed it this meal looking stuff that you add water too to make a sloppy looking paste feed. They buy it in a huge sack and they fill a 5 gallon bucket about 3/4 with this meal looking stuff, add water mix it up and the pig ends up with about 2 1/2 gallons of feed.

That meal looking stuff are Kap(rice's shell crust into dust)...if fed only that, you won't achieve 100kg

at all, you'll get between 50-65kg in 5-6 months,farmer usually mixed it with kitchen waste or proper pig meal. My Duroc and Landrance hybrid achieved 100-110kg in less than 5 months when i mixed it with pig meal. Cost and FCR are already mention by Tilapia.

If you are planning to have fish in the pond, then you shoul use some of the soil to build a dam around the pond, around 0.5-1m high, specially if you want cat-fish.

Tilapia.

Why do you put a dam around the pond?

My ponds and farm plots are in between two stream, my dams are all 1.8m high. Survived flash flood. 5 yrs back when i was rearing Big Ooi, when it rains, my cat fish will try to crawl out from the perimeter ...the surrounding dam help keep them at bay.

If you want to annoy fish thieves, lay a coil or two of barbed wire in the pond (or around the edges if they use cast nets). They'll never get their net back.

Don't forget to drag the wire out before you try to harvest

I zig-zag my double coil 5 meters from the edge of my pond hidden in the water...I caught 4

casting net so far ...My neighbours said they're all good expensive nets...Oh boy! They must be pissed!

...have a vast interest in(two thumbs up for ewelve)vemiculture

Hey, I'm into vermiculture too. I get manure from my uncle's cows on a weekly basis and I keep it stockpiled in a windrow and use it up as needed. Sometimes I mix it with leaves if I have the time and sometimes I don't. I hadn't taken any from the pile for awhile as I've been focusing on the rice paddy (its the season now) but today I took a break to work in the vegetable garden. When I dug up the first load of manure I was astonished and pleased to see hundreds of worms of all sizes living near the bottom of the windrow in every square metre......FREE WORM CASTINGS!!!!! already mixed with the manure and not only did the worm castings go on the garden but so did the worms....where they will continue to do what they do the best....eat and shit!!

Sure beats paying those high prices for store bought castings....and its sooooo easy. Just make a pile of manure (and leaves and weeds if you have them) and wait!!!

Chownah

Firstly...as i proceed my post in this forum i notice i'm kind of ...I apologize...

and to RB, thanks for the PM. I'll get back to you after this...

So Chownah...seem like you appreciate the earth workers you discovered in your manure

pile. Yeah...all earthworms are good for the soil in the garden and their casting are good soil conditioner and nutrient activator. you proably have PE(Prionyx Excavatus "in this weather tempreture")...and garden worm...and millipede...and flat worm in your pile and the casting quality are out of control, to me that's just casual gardening.

What I'm trying to get my hands on are EF(Eisenia Fetida),that's the valuable one. Isolated

culturing...and marketting it...etc etc...you know the rest.

As i was once told, "Bro...Let me ask you...How much for a kg of Tilapia? 30Baht?...How much for a kg of Pig?...38?..35Baht?...What about the beef at the talat? 160 per kg? and 100Baht/kg

for the cricket huh???...Well...Do you know how much a kg of EF cost?...HaHaHa...For me to know for you to find out"... Yup! My jaw dropped when i found out.(Depend on season!)

RBH

One question: Maisefarmer n Tim207(the smart-a-lack) are you guys anti-vermiculture or

do you guys just have something against redbicycle?

RBH

Nothing against worms or redbicycle. I do dislike people using fake identities to try to fool other posters and further a personal agenda though. If you are a real seperate person I appologize, but for the record, I still believe you are a figment of redbicycles imagination. If not, welcome, otherwise I suspect you will disappear into the ether rather quickly.

Naa...I won't disappear, i've been around long enough to sense the on going politic

in this forum although i must admit it makes good reading pleasure when i'm really

free taking a break from all farm activities.

You'll see my username login from time to time but i rarely post ...so stop been nasty...

be nice...after all, i'm a newbie. Remember?...

regards

RBH

Redbulhorn is right - thats exactly what it is (a very knowledgeable Newbie - welcome to the farming forum - how on earth did you know that?)

MF

I am not sure if you are humoring him or you fell for his scam. It seems obvious to me that this is just a ploy by redbicycle to advertise worms for sale using a puppet account as a shill.

Yes - suspected it, though must admitt I wasn't 100% certain.

Thanx for confirming that - so, add large dose of sarcasim to my italics above.

MF

Oh!... Forgot to intro myself...

Ok...a quick one...

I'm live in the northern part of Thailand...I'm doing Tilapia culture...

rearing cattles and pigs and breeding cricket...have a vast interest in(two thumbs up

for ewelve)vemiculture(had some meeting with Wayne Fauser Thewormman trying to neg

a deal but didn't work out)...and...have been tracking this forum for a year since back in

Singapore.

Appreciate your warm welcome, MF..."Ya Keam Hom" i too was searching for its Thai

common name as my vermiculture friend need to supply it aboard.So i downloaded some

Timonthy grass images to my cellphone and went checking with my in-laws(my herd care-

taker)Not Ya Ruzi, not Ya Fact, closer look its Ya Keam Hom. Have been keeping it to myself,

but no one post it to redbicycle so i thought i ought to share it.

One question: Maisefarmer n Tim207(the smart-a-lack) are you guys anti-vermiculture or

do you guys just have something against redbicycle?

RBH

Timonthy grass

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

Thai name for Timonthy grass is "Ya Keam Hom" literally fragrance needle grass.

A friend told me that i could get EF earthworm from you, can you give some detail

if you have any?
