Agricultural Fairs And Shows

[rice555]

Hello GungaDin, lets see, the Chai Tai show, the World Tapioca Conference, 'Substrate' at Lard Krabang, 'Hydroponics' seminar at Lard Krabang, the one I posted for the one here in Korat and the one for Bina, AGRITECH Israel 2009. www.agritech.org.il (24 pages in the new Jan issue of House Agricultural Magazine) . There's also some thing on rubber in BKK, but that's not my cup of tea.

It shows that your in BKK? That show is in your back yard, take a moment to call the school, try google.th-eng and you may find it, maybe even badbanker can find the the pinned show/fair's thread at the top of the page where you don't have to hunt for it?

Hello All, update on the Korat show. It is from the 8-11, at least that's what thhe sign said at the show. Much bigger than last year, more sheep and pigs, so so on the goats, but a S t load of cows/bulls. saw a show of 2 Y/O in the ampatheater behind the tall tower.(you can ride to the top and look around)

In side have a nice hydro display, a few feet away in another booth there's neem and a few feet more some give away green manure seeds for rice farmer to plant in their paddies from the Govt.

Lots of plants, trees, food and fruit/vegetables for sale. Small backhoe attachment on a Thai made tractor, several roto-tiller places, one with small chipper's close to the show arena. Forgot close to the cows there was a booth that sold vet supplies.

Thai Neem Products Co. Ltd 035-535-528-9 Haven't got the directions in eng yet, it's a bag about 1kg for Bt40. Smells, but not as bad as chipped manic drying, I did see a few big tubers around, also G-D's palm heads and palm powered small engine.(running)

Some fungal stuff Trichoderma spp. http://pmc05doae.go.th 044-465-890, and they also have Metarhizium ssp. and a few others.

My sister in law called from Bangkok to tell me that there is an agricultural fair going on at Kasetsat University for the next 9 days. It has alot of different machinery and tools for farming and experts on hand to answer questions....and more.

Just thought you'd like to know. My wife thinks that Kasetsat Univ. is located north of Chatuchak Park in the vicinity of Weepahwahdee Hospital.

Chownah

Today I just called the university for further details. The first secretary dont know that there is a fair. The second number I called gave the information to me there is an fair for farmer vegetables and fruits starting on 30th of January for 9 days. Now I am confused. Does somebody have more informations.? I see there a some branche locations of the universty, maybe Bangkok is not the right place ? The Universty is direct on the way to the Dong Muan airport.

[GungaDin]

Pete's info is correct, his location is correct.

That show is where I first heard of Neem and it's bi-products.... in 2001

[rice555]

Hello GD, they have a neem product display at the Korat show coming up soon, I got one of the giant tea bag thing you soak in a bucket of water to get the stuff to spray.

rice555

[rice555]

Hello GD, this is one of the livestock shows last year at Korat.

Also the giant neam teabag.

rice555

[GungaDin]

Thanks for those pics.

I'll try to track down that tea bag.

Are you a goat man?

[rice555]

Hello GD, I do like goats that have been pit-roasted, that about it.

On another note, while I was in the dentist chair today, I had the other

half call and check the dates for the Korat show, it won't be till July

this year, but coming up this week(1/21-24/10) at the school is a a 'cow'

show, 4 days is a long show time just for cows? Anyways, last years ag

show had over 50 of them BIG stud bulls, the ones you see pictures of

in the Thai animal mags. School info # 0-4422-4152-3

rice555

Hi Rice.

Did you see any neem powder or neem cake on sale, anywhere?

[rice555]

Hello GD, did you try the # at the bottom of the pix I just posted

from the tea bag I got at the Korat show? If I remember, there in

BKK. Best to wait for the Kasetsat show, there may be more than

one supplier there??

rice555

[GungaDin]

^^^^ Yes, Kaset should have the product.

[rice555]

Hello All, the Korat ag show(same place as I've posted before on this thread) will start July 23

and run for a week. Will try to get more info. Last year's show had been expanded to have more

of the 4-legged critters than just plant ag.

Anymore info on what is on show etc. Can you tell me where exactly its held I would love to go and have a look as hopefully I'll be in Thailand by then.

Cheers

[rice555]

Hello OOTAI, it's at the same place as past shows, I think I gave directions

in a post on pg.1 of this thread, the phone numbers may also work, I had

the wife get the date info. It's the 20th year of the school, and the only

thing I have found out in the 2 BKK papers, that one of the US/NASA space

people will be their to give a talk.

Sorry for the poor quality of the picture, but this is a add for the show.

Again, sorry for the bad picture, the guy in the way, and the songtao driver

was going fast, and it's a phone, not a camera, you can make some of it out.

rice555

ps, will try to get and post printed program.

Hello All, the only update to the Korat Ag Show is, http://www.sut.ac.th

You'll need a translator if you don't read Thai. 044-224204, 224152

The'll most likely have the dog and orchid contests on sat/sun?? They will

have goats.

Also going through the picture link, was able to find out that they did have

a show last Feb. as like before, but it was a big cow show.

Sorry I can't give any better info, my Thai translation hardware is a sleep.

The Butterfly Park may also be open, but don't know if things are in season?

rice555 ps will try to get a show flyer and post.
