Popular Post samuijimmy Posted June 14, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2013 Good folks This is just a friendly reminder that this is the Farming Forum and not Pub and Entertainment. (Sorry if that sounds a little like Shaggy is 'up his own arse' but I feel that it needs to be said.) I started this thread to show my own farm photos and hopefully in return you would show yours. Please don't get me wrong,there have been many wonderful posts and I think I can safely speak for all of us when I say that we have all enjoyed viewing them and still do,but it is starting to become what I had hoped it wouldn't. Believe me when I say that it was not easy for me to share my own photos,because I knew that I would have to publicly admit to everyone that I had failed,none the less I continued and in my eyes this thread has become a nice place to come and to view what myself and you guys have made and are making for yourselves in Thailand. So lets please try and keep this thread on track. Many thanks and kind regards Shaggy Don't mess with Shaggy's Farm Photo thread or you get into...... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornishcarlos Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Shaggy, there aren't many threads with over 1000 posts. You started a blinder here, but with that many posts you have to expect the odd stray I think we have a nice micro community going here, I for one am glad I found it and was welcomed. Love looking at the pics but also love the occasional piss taking...

samuijimmy Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 ^^ Charming ... Jim ... any chance of smaller photos? My browser doesn't resize them. . Boy oh Boy David~~~!!! I did re-size that down to 1024 x 8 --? (normal size I thought was OK with everyone, I have been trying to watch for that....) What browser do you use? .... This size shows up OK on my 11" Mac Air with Firefox... although normally I use the Mini and larger screen, but I was testing Wifi yesterday, with the smaller screen and all was OK It was almost double that size before I did resize ~ It was a huge pile of Doo Doo Anyone else having problems? Seems to me those of us, using Picasa or Flicker use this size I think ? (some use the 800 x XXX size.... It also works as a back up of images, which I don't want too small !!! Feed back is OK!

Love looking at the pics but also love the occasional piss taking... "A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else " John Burroughs Carlos,you are absolutely correct in what you say. I hope my post last night has not spoiled the community feeling that we have here,because that was never my intention. I love looking at everyone's photos and also sharing all of your experiences,it makes me feel closer to Thailand when I am not there. Maybe I took some of the posts too much to heart, Can we all agree not to make fun of family members and keep the piss taking between us folks? Anyway,enough of my waffle....this is Farm Photos thread after all. Another farm sunset. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post samuijimmy Posted June 14, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2013 Partly for David's benefit I have re-sized this down to 800 x Buffalo along the canal, near Thali Noi Lake Songkhla. Sometimes there by the hundreds... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish !!!!! It's my EM brew mate... I'm a super nice guy in my village, everyone respect a hard working Chinese with a clean nose and good contribution to village activities. My machines are all marked, if thief steals them, they better dispose them far away... I'd suggest Mars or Jupiter. Everybody knows...

Dancealot ... do you have a Summer cold, or are you agreeing with me? . Yes I agree with you. However it's very nice to enjoy posters who actually read, understand and prefer to reply in their own personal ways with a picture accompanied by words. I DO enjoy the now and then laughter and banter, but over time all things farming have become a more serious thing for me. I have to emphasize this doesn't take away the fact that I am able to respect and adore someone who posted a big pile of dried horse manure in the middle of a more serious conversation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post David48 Posted June 15, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2013 . I just liked this one. It's the Farm Father moving one of his water pumping machines. These things are so dangerous to drive as you propel it forward by pressing and holding the drive pulley into the rotating drive belt. The margin of error is minimal. I'm sure more then one Thai Farmer has lost a finger or maybe more. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy1969 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Anyone know the name of these vegetables? This is photo was taken at a friends farm back in 2008.I remember Tong Dee being very proud of these vegetables but I can't for the life of me remember what they are called. I had to admire this guy for what he was doing,he was a highly educated man that decided to try and live his life and build a farm to the wishes of The King of Thailand (Philosophy of Sufficiency Economy) Not only did he try an live his life according to the wishes of the King but he was also teaching other how to do the same,an admirable and very nice guy.
