xen Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Here's a 15 second exposure of me on the back of a motorbike following another motorbike underway to an Isaan wedding party avereging 40km/h on bumby roads. I thought this thorough explanation was necessary... Interesting. i am sure there is a clue to a winning lottery ticket in there somewhere.

Popular Post samuijimmy Posted September 3, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) I think that was when DAL snuck over to the Full Moon party on KP! In Songkhla they collect their rice straw by hand, then burn off the rest! Looks like most of it was cleaned off first.... seen it used to mulch the chillies etc. Edited September 3, 2013 by samuijimmy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aha, suicide chicken,aka kamikazi chicken. Know him/her well. Waits on the side of the road until you are about 5 metres away, then, "su su, Yeehaaaa.....", chuclucking all the way across as you stamp on the brakes, Khun Yai, who was snoozing peacefully on the back seat, finishes head first down the foot-well as you screech to a halt. "Did you hit it?" whines a concerned voice in your ear, as you get out of the pick-up. "No" you growl, sliding the Remington 12 gauge from under the seat, "but I'm about to remedy that 'clucking situation". Regards. Edit: Did you ever wonder why KC never stops when it reaches the apparent safety of the other side of the road....but keeps on going?

I like it, TEL. Do you have one for the farm peacock? It got jitterish.. Once a roadrunner crossed my path(front wheel) when I was doing 50kmh on the motorbike. I slightly adjusted my steering to avoid contact. After the incident my wife, who was on the back, told me never to do that again. She advised me: it's better to mourn a dead chicken then two dead persons.. Edited September 3, 2013 by Dancealot 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MJP Posted September 3, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2013 Hi MJP and a warm welcome. Great opening shot Am curious to see what else you have tucked up your sleeve. Well, this was once used on a farm, many, many years ago. But has now been "restored" and hangs on the back wall of the Roi-Et house. Its twin is attached to the front wall of the house. I found these round the corner a few years back and paid 250 Baht each for them. Rubbed down with wire wool and treated with Chaindrite then a mixture of Chaindrite and boat varnish. It's a really cheap way of treating wood and making it look nice without the cost of other more expensive treatments. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wise person your wife, was told that by my driving instructor many a moon ago - better to hit the thing than kill yerself. Right after i hit the road running chicken, my wife lifted her visor and yell " Bake ! Bake ! Bakeeeee ! (Brake) " "Huh !?!!" me yell back "Go back, go back, U-turn !!! " she instructed. I stop just 5m from the dead chicken and she jump out of the bike, ran towards it, pick up and ran back. "No waste... dinner~" Jump back onto the bike and said "Go go, go now !" 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi moench,thanks for your kind comment. The trees in question are actually our neighbors one year old trees. Judging by the weed/grass still left in between their trees I would say that they have used a tractor. My family have been using weed killer over the past 4 years but decided (with a little push from me) to use a tractor and strimmer in the future............not a big fan of weedkiller Looks like you have got your work cut out for you next week...chok dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dancealot Posted September 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Chicken! Our village was given a chicken from another village as a courtesy. The problem was, I had to move it... The present chicken in the box(cleverly looking for a way to escape right when all attention has been diverted to the bird). -The accidental cockoo was caught by the boys playing around. After having been given half-a-coconut of water the ungrateful critter shitted the back of the car first, then we decided to put it in a box and then its shitted that as well.
