  1. I use " Lit Photo " on my phone and tablet , its a free app and works great
  2. Some new equipment for the our farm John Deere 50 horsepower ( turbo)
  3. I will go through all the above and do some picking . When do they need to be in by Rom ?
  4. I don't know how much a kg of rice from the store cost , all rice farmers keep a quantity of jasmine and sticky rice for the family Taking in all cots ; seed , land prep , fertiliser, labour and such ( planting and harvesting)works out about 1.5 to 2 baht per , the sale price is from the weigh bridge who sell it on for who knows what price they get. They wait until they get a full truck and trailer load ( approx 40 T ) ,they sell it to an agent who is only interested in larg amounts. As with all farms worldwide they make the least amount of profits on any crop , even the dairy farmers get a pittance per litre compared to what you pay for it at the store
  5. A change of plan : we sold 50% of the rice we cut yesterday and got 8.70 baht per kg and here is some of the other out drying , some will be kept for personal use and the rest will be sold . The average family go through a 40kg bag of rice in about 2 months ( eating rice 3 times per day ) , so we will store it.
  6. We had the combine come in today and harvest the rest of the Jasmine rice , it will be spread out in the sun over the next couple of days then be bagged up and stored in a dry place for a few months and the sold as the price per KG should be better than the 6 baht I was quoted today . I will add a few photos of the drying prosses tomorrow 20201106_155859.mp4 20201106_160140.mp4
  7. We have started on harvesting the rice crop to day , the small areas are cut by hand and the larger one be cut using a combined harvester. The rice we cut will dry over next two or so days a d then will go through the heading machine then bagged a d sold ( hopefully for a good price ) . Here are a few pics of today's efforts.
  8. A line Rodney Dangerfield used in a movie " look out for number 1 and don't tread in number 2 "
  9. Well in that case , There is no way I am going to go all the way back home to do a #1 or 2 if I am at the farm so .... YES
  10. Are we talking in an actual street or anywhere other than the public convenience
  11. Coming from Australia I have never been a Halloween fan , personally I think its more a Yank thing but in saying that the girls put a lot of work and creativity into the outfits and I am sorry I missed it . Unfortunately I wont be there for the old farts birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance . Thanks so much for posting old bean and will call in next time I am intown .
  12. As for our two favourite mods Rom , may I suggest they get at least a cookie each for #1: putting up with us , and #2: being really decent guys who I have chatted to many times .
  13. OK Rom-a-roony ,here is my 1 bahts worth . It would a 100% yes vote for for both Mr. P AND BB , as for the others I will say a yes for Stealth .

  14. welcome back Rom-a-roony . I hope your hiccup in life is now back to normal now
  15. Same for me , he will always be James Bond
  16. Thank Mr.P We have had a few already, I came across one yesterday at the farm it was a cobra about 1 metre long. With the the rice being very close to be harvested we are getting a lot of rats and field mice, also many frogs live in the rice fields so you have to expect to see the snakes after a meal.
  17. That is how all the girls should dress
  18. Is that 1790 baht per month Mr.P ?
  19. A friend of ours ( Pet ) was working there , she has gone home for a while. They had some pretty hot looking lb s working there but I think the Bar would do better ( after covid ) in a different location, closer to Chaiyapoon I think .Apart from the soi 6/1 girls there is not any other ladyboys around. That Blade creep did a couple of videos from there.
  20. I have never used the delivery companies when in Thailand , I prefer to go for a walk and see what is available for dinner. I do have places I go regularly in Pattaya for different meals depending on what I feel like. If it happens to be pissing down when I feel hungry then I just wait a while . As far as a motorbike taxi or baht buss I use who ever comes past .
