Interesting numbers.   Much cheaper than weed!

So an entire family has their rice needs for 2 months met for 350 baht!

Seems like a lot of work for 8.7 baht per kilo!   What is the approx cost to produce a kilo of rice?  

 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 

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. 

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 

Didn't see any 

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.

no offence randiuno. 2. i always find the word whores distasteful. many are sweet nice girls , some are nut jobs and some in between. some are professional courtesans, speak many languages ,spend hours in the gym , dress immaculately, have the best manners you could take them home to mother.     but it is a job as any other. i have known lawyers and investment people and share market traders, online traders  with less ethics and scruples. just an observation. and what are we ? we enjoy the service but then run them down. again no offence just an observation. 

 Well said mate 

A line Rodney Dangerfield used in a movie 

 " look out for number 1 and don't tread in number 2 " 

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 

Are we talking in an actual street or anywhere other than the public convenience 

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 . 

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 .

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 . Ernesto I have never met and don't know much about his work on here ,so not sure .

  As for kendon't , NO WAY would I ever vote for him .

 As Woody said , there are so many guys on here to nominate who contribute, so I will leave it all up to you . 

welcome back Rom-a-roony .

 I hope your hiccup in life is now back to normal now

Same for me , he will always be James Bond 

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.

Catty up to her usual tricks No underwear.

 

 

 That is how all the girls should dress 

All good thanks Mr. P

Is that 1790 baht per month Mr.P ?

Thank you ,

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.

early 80's the cross was very cool 

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 .
