PattayaParent Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Having heard do many 'sick buffalo' stories in my time here in LOS I had a girlfriend who owned 12 kwai and told me the price of a new one. So does anyone have any idea how much it would cost to buy a new one and whether it would be cheaper than the medicine for the 'sick' one??? I know the answer, but I'd be interested in seeing who has paid hospital bills for a pedigree kwai??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry9999 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Less than what it costs to buy an elephant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyh Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 What's the point of having a healthy one? They a lot less useful than a very sick one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joorakee Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 A 'buffalo' is kwaai. Kwai has a different meaning. Beware of the pronunciation (the length of the vowel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoorSucker Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Cannot replace the buffalo. Probably a pedigree. There's a special breeding program that makes sicker and sicker buffaloes for every generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point exactly. In Surin 7 years ago a new buffalo was 5,000 Baht, 7,000 would sound about right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidOxon Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 The only reason I know this is we bought a puppy for that, and the neighbours were horrified enough at the price to say 'you could get a buffalo at SanPatong market for that' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lannarebirth Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 A timely topic. Just today we received 6 buffalo, one of which is pregnat. I was given 3,000 baht to take them but the guy who gave them to me paid 40,00. Wonderful companions, buffaloes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
