Don't forget the fish plus bonfires every night in the dry season

Actually the 10 rai of rice paddy I paid for in 2004 had a pond dug out for the earth some years earlier. When we got the land the family bought in a static pump for 2 days to drain the pond. Then went in and picked up all the fish. Easily filled two of the larger insulated produce boxes - and provided a good feed for all the villagers. Just another thing we experience in rural Thailand. Was fun watching them though (and my young son). The burning of garbage in evenings is an annoyance though.

Thanks for sharing all of your experiences. It sounds like the biggest concern is snakes and rats, something I never even considered!

TBH views and tranquility across rice paddys far outweigh animal or insect concerns IMO.

 

Took this picture in 2014. Rainy season, Lan Saka, Nakhon Si Thammarat.

Frogs, rats and snakes. Mostly during rainy season.
