Crossy Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Do you want it for eating, breeding, work or as a gift to a lady who has a sick one? I'll check if the Missus still has the number of our local chap, at one time he said he was willing to deliver a young beast to any bar on Cowboy, just to see the reaction. Sadly I don't think anyone took him up on the offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 If a glance in the mirror doesn't send you down the right path to the nearest buffalo perhaps I could interest you in one of these guys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetCowboy Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 As Crossy says, most girls just pick one up in Soi Cowboy I'm not surprised they refused to put their hands in their pockets, though - that just seems backward SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isanbirder Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I thought they were all on ThaiVisa. I thrust my way past dozens of them on my morning walks (here I refer to the ones with horns... oh dear, I mean natural horns, not those bestowed by their wives). My toy poodle disapproves of them, and barks at them from about 6 inches away; they just goggle. Answer to OP's question: most of the rice-growing areas of Isan still have plenty, though they're rarely used for work... just for "beef". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JingerBen Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 You don't see so many kwais in the countryside anymore. Their numbers seem to have decreased as the numbers of farang have increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobi Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 From chatuchak market. If you can't make it there, pm me and I'll give u my bank details.

theblether Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Now you have me worried......and you have me conflicted too!! When my gf said her buffalo was sick......I thought bovine. Now your telling me it could be a fellow Thaivisa member?...... oh no 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David48 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Not only are you worried ... When I asked an old gf could she ride a horse. Her reply was no ... but she could ride a buffalo. I thought that was amusing at the time. But your comment above shades that light. To add some more colour to your post here is a photo of her dad whose sole job was to tend to buffalo. Luckily for me ... his buffalo were never sick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily for me ... his buffalo were never sick! I won't sleep tonight. I thought I was just unlucky with buffalos, I've given her money to buy three in the last year but they keep getting sick and dying. Have any Thaivisa members suddenly disappeared this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h90 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Our cleaning woman, older Thai-Yai from the mountains has a lot experience with buffalo. She told these are NEVER sick, she never heard of a sick one. They are the most robust animals she know and they have an absolute lovely character.

mrtoad Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 You don't see so many kwais in the countryside anymore. Their numbers seem to have decreased as the numbers of farang have increased.

UbonOz Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 If this is a genuine enquiry, there were lots of auctions up around Mahasarakham. I think around the THB20,000 mark was the going rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoryG Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Interestingly an ex work colleague invested just under 1million baht in setting up a buffalo farm(what he was quoted) in his brand new gf's village sadly a week later she called to say they had all died and the money spent!!
