For the nay sayers. So you have an opinion which is fine. I have a hard time believing you have any idea what you are talking about.

If you are offended then please think about how you came across in your posts, because that is basically what you said. There are lots of reasons obvious to anyone actually farming that Thais aren't doing this all over the place with the 3 biggest being soil, climate, and difficulty of the work involved. The original post was meant for people who are actually interested in becoming farmers. It gives an idea and as always ideas deserve careful research and consideration.

If there is one thing that frustrates me on this forum it is the people who argue with someone's first hand knowledge or experience. These same people have such a low and misinformed view of Thais and there work ethic. If you don't think it is a good idea for you then don't do it. If you are interested, but have doubts, then get off your duff and take a drive.

The original post is exactly what should be on this forum.

Haha,i have 7 rai in Nanglae ,we grew pineapples on 6 rai of the land for 3 years,believe me its not easy work and many many hours are put into tending the plants,my wife and her family have grown pineapples for 30 years plus,so they know what the are doing and i have learned a a thing or 2 from them,it was some of hardest labour i have ever done, if its not the sun draining your energy,its the rain,making all the grass and many weeds come back nearly as quick as they are they are cut,if you hire labour to work the land-bang goes any profit you might have had.All the pineapple farmers in my village struggle to make a living and have to work other jobs make ends meet.So i do have first hand knowledge on this matter,so advice! Sap-bpa-rot-forget it as there is no profit.

Currently the land title is nor sor 3 Gor. It depends on which piece you are interested in when it comes to the price. I can make some pictures or if you can, you are more than welcome to have a look.

Good night! Sleep well!

Limbo

hi mr Limbo,i am enjoying your match reports an when i come to c.r. will go and watch the games,can you tell me when this season ends?and the new one begins? please.this sounds like a fun day out,the best thing is there will be no americans for obvious reasons.

You can't be serious luv, are you living in Thailand? Bringing out one farang owned bar amongst all the others that are run by Thais and saying that it's irresponsible to let the customers drive back home. That just sounds like a grudge to me. And among all the other bars in that area of the night bazaar a few years back, why is it only this guy you don't like.

I am serious ski

By the way I liked the Indian stuff at the night bazaar, I didn't try the vegetarian burger but it looked nice. Nothing to complain about the prices as well.

I suspect that Thierry might open up a business in another spot in the future where authoritarian hassle will be less.

[And maybe with nicer customers then most of them here above]

I'd rather drink lao khow with chucky.

thierry is an allright fellow... never heard him say a bad word about anyone or talk gossip about anyone.... will miss the reggae bar...

Thiery is ok, the only frenchman i ever met that i liked.

the reggae bar gone,good riddance,never liked it anyway and that fat bloke who ran it was drunk all the time,whats his name terry a right nutter who's been in thailand too long.

i think i might expose everybody and really piss you all off..haa

I think you will find that we do have minature golf in Chiang rai. It`s up by the old airport runway. And everything else you mention that CR doesn`t have, I`m glad. I don`t want it turned into a western style Theme park. This is CR. For the love of Buddah. Stop trying to westernise our nice Thai town.

The OP was about green issues. Get with the program Brahms.

Or thick cut soda bread, toasted on one side, with Dundee Orange Marmalade.

Or good German pumpernickel with a mild German or Danish white cheese, with a thin smear of fresh horseradish. Served with black tea.

Or a good French baguette, sliced diagonal, toasted, with good Normandy butter.

The possibilities are endless....

baked beans are yummy but the farts are endless.....

What else would anyone possibly want to put on toast?

jam or my personal favourite toast toppers with the delicous range of flavours mmmmmm.....
