  1. I have a friend here who is a sharemilker and sometimes i take the younger grandkids out to see his farm.

    Before my trip in 2019 I had been chatting to a lady in Buriram and she invited me to go visit her friend's "buffalo" farm.

    I was slightly underwhelmed to find he kept his  herd in a pen and brought them freshly cut grass everyday.  His herd consisted of 1 buffalo, 2 cows and 1 calf. 

    I tried to explain about farms here having over 1,000 cows but he just didnt believe anyone could be so rich.

    Seemed a pretty stressfree (boring) life, cut grass in the early morning. Sleep in a hammock most of the day. Then cut more grass in the late afternoon.

    The southern end of Jomtien doesn't have much of a beach. It's basically road then water.  I suspect they want to make a beach there so the real estate in that area will be more valuable. 

    That true, I walked to the end of the beach then went inland slightly and continued. After a couple of kms turned right and headed back towards the sea. There was a small fishing village which had a great seafood restaurant.

    I dont like seafood but the lady I took there that night loved it. Was way cheaper than the big restaurant at the south end of Jomtein.

     I recall when the "Food Pyramid" came out telling us that we should eat a majority of grains and skimp on the meats and fat. 

    I got very offside with my teacher when I was 12 because I asked him to explain how eskimos were able to live and grow quite healthily on a diet of meat, fish and fat only.

    You are doing real well it's been a really interesting thread,   keep it up mate, and all the best for the future.

    Thailand does not want buffoons like you to enter their country. So stop wishing and begging

    get a life

    No no. Thailand doesnt want idiots who are happy to spread a deadly virus coming over and making their people sick or dead.

    This board is for people who love Thailand and it's people. You obviously don't, so you really should find somewhere else to post your comments.

    A bigtime collector in America is Jay Leno. 

    He featured in a documentary about alternatives to fossil fuel cars. He owns one powered by a turbine. There's a clip on youtube "Jay leno's 1963 turbine car"...it idles at 22,000 rpm. Also owns a number of steam cars.

    A beautiful young woman very liberated, walks into a bar completely naked. She stands in front of the bartender and says "Serve me a cold beer!"

    The bartender serves her the beer and stares at her, not moving. "What's wrong?" she says "Have you never seen a naked woman?" "Yes, many times!" the bartender replies.

    "Then why are you staring? the woman asks."

    "I want to see where you're going to get the money to pay for your beer!"

    Very good. Reminds me of the female magician who does her tricks totally naked...I watched her act very closely....I presume her videos are still available on youtube

    Y'know I have often wondered why the Thai owners of small plots of land don't rent them out to Farang condo dwellers... To me it would be heaven to have a little place to sit outside, drink beer, talk shit and at the same time watching spuds and carrots grow..... or dare I say it parsnips ( more expensive by the mouthfull than soi 6 !)!!

    Is it possible to grow parsnips in Thailand?  I would have thought it's too warm. I plant them in late summer, dont harvest until there has been a good frost. Not sure if there is logic behind it, but it's what my father did, so it's what I do.
