I do realy wonder why Thai people breed cows for? Every day I see cows on the road well beside the road they wonder about looking skinny and also on my property people just let the cows feed without

asking for my permission. Ok fair enough but explain to me why I can't buy any beef in any supermarkets here :D No matter where I go there is chicken fisch or pork, so where does all that beef go? Don't tell me

it is for milk :D most of them are not milk cows as far as I can see that. So can you explain to me :)

Well they are not kept for pets are they lol

They are raised for their meat which local butchers and markets buy at Auctions .

You can by Beef at any market I have been to plus the local meat man that drives around the Estates sells it.

If you live near Rangsit go to Talad Thai market and you will see stalls of the stuff.

I buy beef at the local market all the time, except on Wan Phra, and I live in a small town too.

Where I live most of the Bhuddists are from the non beef eating sects. However Tesco's in town normally does have beef. We only have a small expat population in Muang Ranong, but even so it can be bought.

Tesco certainly doesn't always have beef, some of them do not carry it. The one near me doesn't, neither does the Big C or the mom and pop supermarkets. It all depends on where you are, a significant percentage of Thais do not eat beef and the local mega stores don't bother carrying it in some places. In central Bangkok or Isaan I'd expect to usually find it.

The most horrible taxi driver possible, who also happenned to own a buffalo used to tie his animal up at a tree in my garden in Koh Samui. It wasn't fenced but it was a garden.

A different piece of land of ours which is fenced with 5 rows of barbed wire is always being cut open by the Pooyai baan of all people so that he can put his cows out to pasture. No respect at all, don't you just love those country folk.

Beef can be bought at most supermarkets and many of the larger town and local markets.

But the reasons beef may not be available in some of the outer town areas and local villages is because it’s expensive compared to the main meat diet of Thaïs, which is pork and chicken.

Although one may see the odd few cows and buffalo spread over various parts of the countryside, the numbers are considerably less than that of pig and poultry stocks.

most of the 'cow' on the sides of roads are kept for their calves which are then raised to be bought and slaughtered for parties and special occasions, not for daily eating. they probably dont even get near a real supermarket as they are slaughtered, butchered and pre bought, locally.

its mostly chicken pork and fish if u can catch them.

It's Thailands solution to excessive speeding. Where other countries us speed bumps and round-abouts, Thailand uses cows. They poop along the road and the wet crap sprays off tires onto anything along their path. This creates an industry of cleaning things. It's quite simple actually.

Thais Aim to Boost Beef Production

According to the Department of Livestock Development (DLD), Thailand had in the region of 9.1 million beef cattle in 2008. Imported breeds include Brahman, Charolais, Blonde d’ Aquitaine and Angus, writes Stuart Lumb for TheCattleSite.

Beef imports were boosted following the signing of a free trade agreement (FTA) between Thailand, Australia and New Zealand in 2005, with Australia being the major supplier as opposed to New Zealand. Other major exporters to Thailand are the US, the EU (Netherlands, Italy and Germany) and Brazil. DLD data shows that Thailand imported 1581 tonnes of beef valued at Thai Baht 170.85 million in 2005, 1842 tonnes valued at THB 225.65 million in 2006 and 1921 tonnes, THB 310.9 in 2007.

      Shuttle Bus Crash at Phu Phek Temple Leaves One Dead, 25 Injured

      An electric shuttle bus crash occurred at approximately 14.50 on November 15, on the descent from Phu Phek Temple in Na Hua Bo Subdistrict, Phanna Nikhom District, Sakon Nakhon Province. Reports indicate that the shuttle bus driver lost control and veered off the road, resulting in numerous injuries and one fatality. Emergency responders, including two Advanced Life Support (ALS) teams from Phra Ajarn Fan Hospital, Na Hua Bo Subdistrict rescuers, and the Rattana Foundation, promptly arrived at the scene to assist the victims. Rescuers on arrival found that 25 individuals had sustained injuries of varying severity, while a 16-year-old girl, identified as Miss Suthida Chiwato from Na Dee Village, tragically lost her life at the scene. The crash occurred as the shuttle bus, carrying a group of temple visitors, descended from Phu Phek Temple following a large religious ceremony, the “Maha Sangkhatan Merit-Making Event.” The temple is situated on a steep and winding mountainside, which presents significant challenges for vehicles. Eyewitnesses reported that the shuttle bus was overloaded, with passengers standing due to limited seating capacity. As the vehicle navigated the steep descent, it gained excessive speed. Despite the driver’s attempts to brake, he lost control and plunged approximately 15 metres off the road. The vehicle’s front section sustained most of the damage. Emergency services transported the injured to Phanna Nikhom Hospital, with critically injured victims referred to Sakon Nakhon Provincial Hospital for treatment. Local authorities and event organisers are working to determine the precise cause of the accident and ensure that safety measures are enhanced for future events. Investigations believe that the overcrowding of the bus, combined with the steep and narrow descent, may have been contributing factors. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-16

      Thai police ‘tweet’ out arrests in illegal bird trade bust

      Thai police have swooped on a major illegal bird trade operation in southern Thailand, arresting two people involved in selling protected Bulbul birds via Facebook. The suspects admitted to selling thousands of birds over the past year. Police officers from the Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Suppression Division conducted raids on the homes of two individuals, known by their Facebook aliases as Mee Tha Kham and Ice Nok Ble. These raids took place yesterday in Surat Thani province, leading to the arrest of 48 year old Chinoros, who had been operating a significant illegal bird trade in the region. Chinoros had been using his Facebook account to advertise the sale of the protected Bulbul birds, which were sent to buyers across southern Thailand. Police, upon discovering Chinoros’s activities, sought and obtained a search warrant from the court. During the raid, police discovered and confiscated ten Bulbul birds from his property. Chinoros confessed to purchasing the birds and keeping them at his residence before selling them to customers throughout the region. He acknowledged using Facebook to reach his large following, which had amassed several thousand followers over the past year. He admitted to having sold over a thousand birds during this period. Chinoros explained that the gun seen in photographs on his Facebook profile belonged to a friend named Nueng. Law enforcement plans to track down this individual for further investigation. In a related operation, police also raided the home of another suspect, 29 year old Kaysit, known on Facebook as Ice Nok Boen. Surrounding his residence, officers found numerous bird cages, some of which contained Bulbul birds. A total of 17 Bulbul birds were found, none of which had the required possession permits. Kaysit admitted to purchasing these birds to resell them to customers throughout southern Thailand. He stated that he had sold thousands of birds, with prices ranging from 500 to 3,000 baht (US$15 to 85) each. Most of the birds he acquired were bought from third parties, and police are continuing their efforts to trace the origins of these transactions, reported KhaoSod. The police have charged both Chinoros and Kaysit with possession of protected wildlife without a permit, an offence under the Wildlife Preservation and Protection Act of 2019. The suspects are now in police custody at Mueang Surat Thani Police Station, where they await further legal proceedings. by Bright Choomanee Picture courtesy of KhaoSod Source: The Thaiger -- 2024-11-16

      Agree. I refused to take the mRNA jab, and very happy I didn't. Luckily the mandate to be double vaxxed was cancelled because of citizen refusal to be sheeple, so I never had the booster for the non mRNA vaccine I eventually had to take, as they were making it too difficult not to be vaxxed. No freedom under labour. I'm happy they got the boot.
