Hey guys, Im using conjecture only so that some farangs considering investing in farmland in Los, for the first time, take the time just to think about some of the pitfalls of land "ownership", none of this is directed at anyone and I am not here to question or quote on any ones personal circumstances. Nuff said.

Grimley Bob,

In parts of the western world the negativity that you refer to is substituted by prenups, pretty pointless to have that in Los when you cant own the land in the first place. But again thats conjecture

Prenups have no place in my world western or eastern. They are only used by the bowel twitchers

Dear EdyP: I am an international agriculture professional with over 20 years experience working on agriculture projects for non-profit organizations - 17 years in Southeast Asia. Strong commitment to sustainable agriculture, experience with organic farming, sector experience with rice, vegetables, coffee and cocoa. I am currently looking to buy, partner, and/or get involved in some way in an interesting agriculture venture in Thailand (preferrably near to Chiang Mai) and would be interested in discussing a possible partnership with you. Not sure I want to do cassava only, for a few reasons, but willing to discuss various ideas. Please reply if you want to discuss. Prefer by e-mail if possible: [email protected]. Can do a Skype call as well: mattjosephz. Looking forward to hearing from you. Matt (Aggie)
