Who's going to revoke the right to stay here of Thai nationals who allow their dogs to roam unleashed and, in some cases, cause injury? Put nationalities aside and crack down on all those who do not abide by the law. Nationality should not be an issue in the eyes of the justice system.

One foot in, one foot out.

The buses are not the problem. The problem is bus drivers driving those vehicles are unacceptable and uncontrollable speeds and the BIB don't do a thing about it!

Glad there are no other, more pressing problems here.

I know a few people who have brought back tomato, lettuce, carrot, etc. etc. etc. seeds for personal use in their luggage and they have never had any problems.

What is it with this lot and watches?!

Oh for FS! 😂 Is this an oxymoron or an April Fool's Day joke?

Yes, thank you.

Am (finally) getting ready to put in a solar power water pump (from Thaiwatsadu GIANTTECH Centrifugal Electric Solar Pump (DCPM50-17-110-1500 DC 110V) Power 1500W) but can't for the life of me figure out how many solar panels I will need. The hardware store has Solar Panel MONO Crystalline JA JAM60S20-380/MR Power 380. I need to water between 1 and 1.5 rai. How can I calculate how many panels I will need?

If you go to a hardware store and look at the kits they sell, I'm pretty sure you'll find the address of the manufacturer printed on the package.

Only a fool would get involved in something he has absolutely no idea about.

You beat me to it. In a lot of those stores tourists buying snacks, microwave dinners, sandwiches, etc. can be seen.

I live in Korat, not too far from Surin, and I plant my tomato seeds around mid to late August, in the grow house where they are protested from the rain. Then, just as the rainy season is abating (early-mid October), I plant them out in the garden. After that, they really just burst with growth. About 2 - 3 weeks after planting the first lot of seeds, I sow a second round. That way, I can extend my growing season well into January and even mid February when temperatures start picking up. Tomatoes here need the cool nights to blossom. When the fruit starts growing, I spray them every 7 to 10 days with wood vinegar to protect them from insects. I also plant insect repelling plants like basil (Italian) or Marigolds to protect from insects.

Your comment about the nematodes and molds reminded me of something I forgot to mention in my previous post. I rotate my tomato plats every year (by that I mean I plant them in a different grow bed every year). This helps to prevent a buildup of diseases in the soil.

I've been growing my own tomatoes here in Korat for the past 8-9 years, usually quite successfully. Baking the soil?! Never done this and never needed to. Plant seeds in good potting mix, good drainage around mid August. Plant out in mid October, just as the rainy season is coming to an end, in rich soil. I assure you, you don't need to bake the soil. Yes, I grow a lot of foreign toms here.
