Isaan Farmers Meeting No. 10 - End of March 2014

[Packdee]

Thank you forum modulator.

Gaazzaazz and I went to check Banrai Jomthong Resort.
We can use a bar with karaoke for our meeting for free.
She needs to be informed in advance in order to reserve that place for us.

Hello All

I spent the last 4 days with Colonel Packdee in personal instruction. What an amazing man. His passion and ingenuity, friendship and generosity mark him as exemplary among his countrymen.

If you have been considering being more than an armchair expat and were looking for a decent bunch of people to associate with, I recommend this mob. Further, if you feel like a purpose would serve you well, then take a gander at K Packdee's posts and consider growing a few bags of these VERY EASY TO GROW MILKY mushies he has pioneered here in Thailand.

I had shied away from mushies for one particular reason, K Packdee has one or two innovations up his sleeve that are stunning - cost saving & easier - simply stunning. If the proof is in the eating let me assure you the results of his efforts are hard to beat.

Hi Gaazzaazz - so will you be coming to the meeting on March 29?

ฺWat Ban Rai is about 50 - 60 km far from Banrai Jomthong Resort.

Gaazzaazz and I went to check Banrai Jomthong Resort.

I have emailed to the resort to book a room for dinner in the evening but vetoed the karaoke, I'll have to give her an idea of numbers nearer the date.

Hi WF, I know it's close but having missed all previous meetings but having read all the good things about you bunch of guys I 'll think I might stay late and drink too much. My son Is checking if he can come home to take care of my mother in law and the pigs. As soon as he confirms I'll book a room.

Please add Khaoboy to the lunch and afternoon. Can't stay for evening as must ride little Honda back to the 'badlands' before dark. Sounds like a worthwhile meeting. Thanks for setting it up.

[Packdee]

Fund for buying beers and soft drinks sponsored by DaveHKT is ready in my bank account.
I am waiting WF to specify beer brand that you prefer.

[bergen]

I'll be there for the whole shabang, and I'll be drinking Singha, either free or paid for. Dal has already promised to bring snacks, and with mushroom classes, plenty of new faces to meet and karaoke in the evening, who can resist...............

Hi Bergen, Happy to hear we'll be seeing you again. With you in mind I had already suggested to Packdee that some of the beer should be Singha. WF

[revar]

I drink Chang beer. Leo is OK as well, It's what I drink if tired. Last time I drank Singha was 15 years ago. Tasted good then.

I can live without Karaoke, in fact I have avoided it all my life, Apart from that, I will drink almost anything, hope to be able to attend.

I agree and as mentioned above, when I booked the room for the evening I specifically said we won't want the karaoke. Nothing worse than a bunch of tone-deaf egocentrics shouting into a microphone when others are trying to talk. WF

Karaoke must be a strange Japanese, alcoholic beverage, then..? I still do not know what it is...

I prefer Singha myself^.

[Packdee]

On the road #2256 heading East. (From Taluang to Dan Khuntot intersection)



There is a short cut road between my farm and Banrai Jomthong Resort and a staw mushroom farm.
I found that it's not good condition to make a short cut to a straw mushroom farm where I plan take you to visit.























Banrai Jomthong Resort is located behind that hill.





Straw mushroom farm.

[WormFarmer]

Colonel Packdee, on which side of the road #2247 is your farm, east or west side? Is it on the main road or do we have to turn off down a side road? How will we recognise it when we get there, is there a sign or anything like that? Perhaps you can post a photo of the entrance to your farm. WF

Edited March 7, 2014 by WormFarmer

[Packdee]

My farm is on the east side of road #2247, 40 km north of Pak Chong or 10 km south of Khao Noi (Road #2256)

I was thinking to have a mushroom class at Bamrai Jomthong resort and visit a straw mushroom farm in that vicinity so you can check in and stay there.
I take my materials and beers to the resort, it will be easier.

[Packdee]

Yesterday Khun Yayong, the most famous mushroom grower in Thailand now, accepted my invitation to join our meeting.

[DerkMR]

How many km?

just looked at the route to go, like 400 km, so "a little" too far to go with the scooter

If there is no other member comming from Udon and giving me a lift I see little chance to participate...

Bye,
