Cumbria couple relocates to Thailand, goes off-grid
jak2002003 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This is a joke? It's illegal for foreigners to be farming as work here. What visas are they here on, if they are below retirement age? How can they own the land they are farming? How have they registered the house in their name? They think it is so isolated to be 30 minuites from the city, lol Also, they dug the well by themselves..haha, with shovels?- 62 replies

How do you react to Thais who do not respond to greetings?
jak2002003 replied to zhounan's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Sometimes I wonder what country some of you guys live in. I have never met anyone thai or farang that did not at least smile or nod if I smiled or said a quick hi to them Op must look very scary or like some idiot who want to start a conversation with a total stranger. -
Concerns over Khao Yai National Park land allocation plans

If they were clever the national park / forestry department would hint at this move as being anti monarchy...as the king was the one who was into planting trees and the national parks.. -
Thai soldier rapes his stepdaughter, mother forgives rapist
jak2002003 replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
So your idea would be to let the poor girl live in a household where she is abused and raped the rest of her life by her stepfather...getting impregnated over and over again? No supper from her mother or other family...who will tell her to take it as the man raping her is the one working? How will his money go towards raising the babies the girl has? And the girls offspring will be in danger from their own father once they grow up a bit. -
I always wanted to know what bird made that sound. We have lots around us in the forest. Can never see them.

Swiss Tourist Attacked by Buffalo Bear While Feeding in Chiang Dao
jak2002003 replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Seems that health and safety was not good there. It's common sense not to go into a bear enclosure while the bear is in it, surly? -
Brave Thai park rangers rescue baby elephant in perilous plight

Good to hear nice news for a change. I was expecting them to have 'rescued' it, only for it to be given to some tourist attraction elephant camp. Well done guys! -
Mysterious mass death at Chiang Mai Night Safari shocks Thailand

I am yet to see any Thai institution, or Thai person in general, take responsibility for their mistakes here. -
Korea bans killing and eating Dogs - will Thailand follow?
jak2002003 replied to kwilco's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
The arguments from meat eaters about not eating dogs because they are predatory aninals is flawed.. It's not dangers to eat their meat any more than from herbivores. Pigs, for example, carry parisites in their flesh that can cause cysts in human brains and death, and chickens carry potentially deadly salmonella bacteria. All the farmed animals carry zoonotic diseases such as bird flu, and parisotes like tapeworm, FLUKES, etc, that can infect humans. Also, many of the animals we ear are predators, fish eat other aquatic animals, chicken and duck eat small animals like insects and mice, and even pigs will eat meat. Many of the animal feed for cows and sheep contain animal bi products for added protein. We also eat lots of wild andnot farmed animals, such as marine species, game birds like pheasants and duck, and also deer and wild boar. Korea has a breed of dog bred specially for their meat, so they are technically a domesticated meat animal. Now this breed of dog will go extinct. If you have problems with eating dogs and cats you should stop eating all meat. -
Those don't work at all. Theu are more for stopping cats from walking on top of fenced. But they are not even good at doing that. I tried several kinds and the only ones that really work are the stainless metal ones. They don't go rusty. Also u don't need to cut them to size as you van overlap them one of top of another if u need to. Make sure to buy the ones with the longest spikes. Short spiked ones the pigeons cam still perch on them, and they can even make a nest on top of them.

Yes. Thai people in general seem to care more about 'face' and social status than they do for the welfare of their one children. -
Pollution Control Dept Declares Dust Season
jak2002003 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
They should fine the landowners who's land has been found to have been burnt. Easy. Up the the land owners to take responsibility for their land and what is happening on it. -
Not if it's guppies. They actually do better with some salt in their water. Please make sure you calculate the volume of water in your pond correctly if you add the salt, and take into account when diluting it in the future when you do water changes and also beware of it getting more concentrated dire to water evaporation. You don't want to kill all your fish by adding too much salt. I would take the sick fish out for treatment, as it will need a stronger concentration of salt than will be healthy for the other fish over a longer time.

The pond salt is sold in the aquarium / aquatic shops. It's not expensice. You can use any watertight container as a bath, Eg, a plastic storafe box, child's paddling pool, old bath, etc. You should add an air stone and use an air pump to provide oxygen in the small amount of water in the salt bath. And don't forget to cocer the top with something heavy, like a sheet of wood or tie a plastic sheet down over it, otherwise the fish may jump out.

Sorry to hear about your poorly koi fish. Usually a swim bladder problem will not affect the way the fish body looks..it would not make it swell up like that. The only symptom of swimmer bladder disease is either becoming too buoyant or too heavy to swim normally. I can not tell by the photo, but are it's scales sticking out or raised like a pinecone? If so that is a condition called 'dropsy'. This will also cause the fish body to swell up. Or, it could be a combination of both disorders. Either way I would do the same treatment. Look up on the Internet about salt baths for koi. This involves putting the affected fish into a water bath with concentrations of aquarium / pond salt dissolved in it for set periods of time until they recover. Make sure to use water from the pond and not tap water because of the dangerous chlorine. Many koi keepers regularly do this as a precaution to prevent diseases. Or even have a lower concentration of pond salt in the pond water all the time. This kills parasites and improves the fishes healthy. However it means you can't grrow aquatic plants or keeps other kinds of fish and animals in the pond other than koi and goldfish. I would also change the sick fishes diet. Sometimes the food can cause the fishes intestines to boat up with air, particularly the cheaper brands of floating food sticks. Starve the fish a few days and when start to feed again make sure not not overfeed it...and include high fiber foods such as pens and leafy vegetables like lettuce.

Phuket taxi drivers protest against rise of illegal taxi apps

They should just join the app. -
The stupid woman in the op should realise that those people she wants to help out would exixute her and all the LGBQ people if they had their way. They have disguise for her kind. Look what crimes they commit against them and women in general in radical Muslim countries. It's like tipping out a sack of venomous snakes into your apartment because you feel sorry for them in the cold outside. As soon as they warm up and get settled in they will bite and kill you. Haha.

Cam they make it illegal to use plastic in the gift baskets? They should be biodegradable.
