@ David48

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.

Very persceptive! You are the only 1 who noticed this .

The was a slight discrepancy in the cailflowers which made me switch to cabbages at the last moment..

@ MissFarmGirl & RBH

Maybe one or both of you would be kind enough to allow my g/f and I to come over for a bit of practice with our cast net ?

I am sure she could do a lot better....if she would only stop laughing

OP ... have lost your photo from post #484 ... didn't check the others.

I was in a small pig farm in Lomsak yesterday and met her.. Something tells me this pig has got character.

And here her offspring, enlarge this on your big screen, Jimmy .

Here is one for DAL... re-sized extra small

Dont push it Jimmy, i am still being nice, appreciate that.

You know i have tons of incriminating material on you.

Thanks for spotting that and notifying me David.

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

Strange family

(second attempt)

Mother hen,eleven ducklings and a turkey chick

to you too DAL...

So, today had a nice trip around the highways and byways of Samui!

Came across a nice little flock of happy sheep...

I know, really baaaaaa'd

Actually only ever seen one poor very straggle looking sheep (alive) here on Samui... not too common!

To Shaggy.... yeah don't mess around with Picasa... it's a ----- pain when you do!

Yeh ... we picked up on that ... that's why we didn't give the type of beer that we like to drink!

Was a nice photo of casting the net ... caught the moment wonderfully ...

Brave soul fishing in a flooded river.

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.

Explanation: Yes a week ago i started chuckling about my bill and showed it to Jimmy.

Jimmy didn't laugh... This is an actual BILL.

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... one of the worse smells I have ever smelt!

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...

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

What one of these monkeys is doing, comes to mind.... you choose!

The combination of all 3 for you comes to mind.

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

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

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

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

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

Turkey's win Farang loose
