I can imagine that if the op would have asked the fellow burning the husks he may have learned something and even possibly found someone a tad more clever than he thought.

dumball Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Perhaps the guy could get a tad more civilised and come into the present day , like put mosquito screens on his windows , beats destroying his and his neighbours lungs , goes for all the daily garbage burners also .

Ahh but if he did that, then those posts lamenting air quality wouldn't make their annual appearance as people start choking on air particulate and complaining about air quality.

Heng Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Where do you live? I'm looking for a place for my cousin to start up his slaughter house biz. We absolutely don't plan on burning anything. As for the smell... well, surely your up to international specifications house will keep that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are better ways to discourage mosquitos. You know, stuff like removing the stagnant water collection points from the yards. This is Thailand Thais do what Thais have done for Years , Everything that has been Suggested costs money , Coconut husks are free and its a proven method, I agree, in the villages they do things the same as they would have done 50 years ago and if you go there in 50 years time they will still be doing the things the same way, Ive spent many days in my wifes families village and it didn't take me long to work out that they don't like change, its very hard to teach or show them a different way to do something. My wife will not tell her mother anything, because she is her mother and also because its an older person. Last year I noticed all the vegetables / herbs and chillies were kept in on the floor where I regularly see rats running around at night, there was open bags of chillies with lots of mouldy ones, the fridge was empty apart from some bottles of water, I asked my wife why her mum doesn't keep the food in the fridge, as we do in the UK, her response " because she doesn't" I tell her to tell her mum, she say she can not. How will the villages ever develop if the children can't tell there parents a better way of doing something. My wife has lived in the UK for 6 years now and has learnt alot and speaks perfect English but she will not teach or tell her parents anything.

Cold gravel! COLD GRAVEL! Bloody luxury! My mum used to stick her fingers down her throat and vomit to give us a hot meal during winter.
