Will this frog be a danger to small goldfish?
jak2002003 replied to AustinRacing's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
Should be fine. The goldfish will be too quick for it to catch if it tried. They usually catch prey that is crawling on the land or plants near the pond, or bufs that fall onto the water surface, rather than catching prey under the water. It will be good for eating garden pests. -
Thailand's extreme air pollution: 'I feel sorry for my daughter'

With the bad air pollution, does this affect birds health or breeding?
-
Op they are a harmless species that will flee quickly away from you. You don't need to get rid of them or worry about getting bitten. They have very keen eyesight and are super sensitive to movement and the tiniest vibrations....so when you are trimming your trees and shrubs they will dissappear. You are more likely to get bitten by a snake trying to catch it or kill it because it will resort to bitting trying to defend itself. Please reconsider and don't kill the wildlife here for no reason other than irrational fear.

It's a story in a song. Its fictional. There are crime dramas and horror films on TV where women get murdered. Do you want to ban them too? And you are sexist if you only think it's wrong for a man to kill a woman, but not a woman to kill a man! -

Was that inside your house next to an air purifier machine? -
Breaking: Missing radioactive capsule found in Australian Outback!
jak2002003 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I don't understand how this happened. Why would there be a tiny radio active capsule unsecured on the back of a huge truck in the first place? Surely it would have been incase in big container? Where were they taking it and why? -
Troublesome Neighbour
jak2002003 replied to recom273's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
He will hate your Guinea fowl. I used to have some and everyone hated them as they were so loud. Even I hated them in the end and got rid of them. As for your teacher neighbour. I'm afraid you will just have to put up with him. Welcome to Thailand. ???? -
Tell your wife she needs to get a full time job when you move to CM. Rent a place for a few years while she saves up some money. Then buy a house together. If she is unwilling to work or contribute anything, or put in any effort, then forget it. I would not be buying a house for someone who wanted to live off me like a parasite getting a free ride. Oh, and I would not buy her her own busness either. She needs a proper job, not lazing around, playing on her phone in an empty coffee shop paid for by you.

Gentle giant is tied up and tortured as punishment !

So let's see if the Thai anti animal cruelty laws will be inforced now. That guy was in trouble for just picking up a sea cucumber and the woman done for feeding bread to fish. Wonder what happens if some farang men did that to the elephant, compared to what will happen to these Thai men. -
Do you go out of your house? Have you just lived here a year or so?

Bringing dog from England to Thailand
jak2002003 replied to ADog's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
OP, maybe leave the dog with a family member or friends while you come here. After a few months then think about bringing the dog over to join you. That way you will get to see if it will work out or not and what. if any, peoblems the dog might encounter. It would also give you and your child time to settle in. -
Bringing dog from England to Thailand
jak2002003 replied to ADog's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
Everyones experience is different. I have been bitten 3 times. 2 were not serious, but one required a hospital visit, stitches and anti rabies jabs. Have you looked at the temperatures are in the morning and evening in bangkok? Also the air pollution is worse in the morning. You said you want to 'give it a try' . So what happens to the dog if you find your experiment does not work out? Have you lived in bangkok before? -
Bringing dog from England to Thailand
jak2002003 replied to ADog's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
OP, think very carefully before you bring your dog here. I have 2 small dogs I got here in Thailand. I decided to leave my first dog back in the UK when we moved here 16 years ago. It was heartbreaking. I wanted to bring the dog, but I knew it was not in the dogs best interests. I decided to do right for the dog I loved rather than for myself. I did not want to put my dog through the stress of a long transportation locked in a small cage and it having have to poop and pee in there. I knew my dog was used to UK weather, and the extreme heat and humidity here (and air pollution) would have been a lot for it to cope with. I even moved to the countryside here. A busy, loud, dirty, hot, city is no place for a dog used to life in the average UK home. On top of that are the diseases and parasites the dog will be exposed to here that are different to in the UK, which it encounter. Ticks are huge problem here and carry deadly diseases to dogs. I would advise you to find a good and loving home for your dog and when you are settled here get a new one if you want. Dogs born and bred here are acclimatised to the climate and have more resistance to diseases here. Such a huge change in environment will put a lot of stress on your dog, and the breed you have has problems with extreme heat due to their heart problems and skull shape. It will also not be pleasant to walk your dog on the streets of Bangkok for you or the dog. Street dogs are not usually placid as you seem to think. They are territorial by nature and a new dog will be challenged. It can be scary and potentially dangerous for you and your dog to be surrounded and challenged by a group of larger, barking and snapping dogs when you are on a walk. My 2 new dogs have a couple of set routes on their walks where they have eventually been accepted by the village dogs in those areas. It took a lot of time and understanding of dogs behaviour to achieve this. I would not take tnem to new places with new dogs to go through all that again. -

I agree....but only so long as our luck holds out. -
As tourism returns so does animal smuggling !
jak2002003 replied to Social Media's topic in Pattaya News
Can they smuggle out the street dogs? -
Poor guy looks like he is on deaths door...he is so skinny and unsteady on his feet...maybe drunk or the heat getting to him? Why live like that at his time in life if he has money and a business back in his home country? Surely he has his pension and money coming in from his business to not have to work picking up trash for a few bath? I don't think he will be able to carry on like that for long. What visa can he have to have stayed here 6 years, and now seen working thanks to this video. And what is the attraction of a poor elderly farang for the Thai guy? Maybe the old man has some dementia?
