Today i was searching for something on my external hard drive and I came across some old photos.I realized that I still had many of the old farm and thought it was a shame to have them hidden away ...

@ David48

Thanks for sharing that video David. thumbsup.gif

Are all the ponds in view being used by your good lady's family?

Yep ... though most are owned by Farm Fathers brothers.

His mother (MissFarmGirl's Grandmother) split the larger Farm and gave all the kids a parcel each.

Most don't have interest in Farming their allotment, so Farm Father rents their ponds ... hence the large operation.

He employs one worker.

For some harvets he gets in an external team, but most harvests are done with the help of the likes of MissFarmGirl,

Farm Fathers grandchildren, brothers and neighbours.

The prawn harvest only takes a team of 4 if the pond is not being drained.

Thanks for spotting that and notifying me David. thumbsup.gif

That will teach me not to play around in Picasa !!!

Btw in post #487 I made a comment about MissFarmGirl & RBH allowing us to come and practice in their ponds.

That was only meant as a joke wai.gif

Working the rice paddies.

wow! those are tiny rice paddies!

Not quite the same as the ones in your area eh !!!

It is difficult to see from that image but the paddies are stepped.

Depending on the rainfall or how much water is in the pond at the top step the farmers can decide how much or little of the paddies to use.

Check out the photo below.

No a lot different than the rice fields in Songkhla there shaggy! Most are 10 or 12 rai plots!

Here is a picture of a concoxious mixture made up from Neem, lemon grass and I don't know what else...w00t.gif one of the worse smells I have ever smelt! sick.gifbah.gif

It had been brewing away for a while.... Purpose to spray rice and other crops for bugs... I think just the smell along would keep anything away.... I sure would not want to spray it!

You can even see my friend holding his face back, but it took a few meters to get away from the smell... bah.gif

We took about 10 litres back to the farm, I left the next morning! biggrin.png

Back on topic, yes! - My turkeyfarm incident, last month.

Turkeys checking out the intruder still unsure if he is hostile or not.

post-70928-0-73196200-1367502892_thumb.j

Turkeys detect the possible agressor as a farang and swiftly safequard the fellow, helpless ducks

post-70928-0-91388100-1367503611_thumb.j

The main alpha turkey is showing hostility to farang while the turkey in the back sneakily calls in for backup.

post-70928-0-95131500-1367503080_thumb.j

Anrgy puppy's assist in the attack by making loud barking noises

Turkey's win Farang loose
