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 ...

I understand you have an old- and a new farm. Mr. Shaggy. Are we seeing only the old pics?

There are many different farms Dancealot,mostly are from the old farm , there are some photos from friends farms in Kalasin and Mahasarakham and also from my g/f's and her uncles rubber farms.

No new farm for Shaggy ATM but who knows what the future will bring !!!!

Hydroponic lettuce growing...(Basil and other crops too depending on season) On Koh Samui there are at least six of these places... This one near me.

The culls are used for the pigs previously posted! thumbsup.gif

Preparing the snake that was just run over by Mr. Farang

post-70928-0-45466500-1360340003_thumb.j

Could you run over a snake for me please,have never tasted snake.......is it good to eat?

They say it taste like chicken, they say the same about frogs and wabbits too.... sick.gifbah.gif

To Diddums, (so not to repost the pictures again!) At least the lettuce tastes OK... yeah with at least 6 of these farms on Samui, one that I know of on KP ... that's a lot of lettuce! ....

Yet about a month + ago, they could not get it ready, due to rain and lack of light!..... much of it was dumped as it rotted ! sad.png

It was chopped up in small pieces and Kha preaw was made of it. It has a strange consistency i cannot describe. I can only give a bad comparison:

If you traded the snake for pork in that particular meal you would notice the difference..

I thought that was funny to write in here..smile.png

@ MissFarmgirl, Welcome! Very nice to have an expert here. Be sure to make a lot of photo's to bring with you before you gothumbsup.gif .

Question about your 2nd picture: Do you just leave a field like this and do nothing?

I mean to say after months of drying it is a very hard job to make the soil 'loose' again especially with no water around..

post-70928-0-32993500-1360493948_thumb.j

The Kobuta tractor here is to small for a job like this.

Thank you.

Rice fields dry as a bone.

Hard to imagine that a few months later this area will be lush green.

Remarkable tough rice plants here in the drought of the inlands

50 to 60 inches of annual rainfall seems to be one of the general agreed upon requirement for a rice growing envirnment. You can work from that figure to get most of your questions answered.
