I am looking for a solution to having roaches in my home in Nong Hoi in Chiang Mai. Interestingly, my next door neighbor reports no problems, but I regularly see roaches in my home. I just placed roach traps, but it's too early to tell whether these will help. I have read to sprinkle in the home diatomaceous earth, yet I have no idea where to find this in Chiang Mai. I have also read that spreading borax or boric acid with sugar are good remedies, yet again where do I find borax or Boric acid in Chiang Mai or online? I am interested in peoples suggestions for effective methods to get rid of cockroaches. Thank you.

Hello, Can someone help me to locate where to purchase grain to feed cows in Ubon Ratchathani. My girlfriend's family have 14 cows and they seem unable to cut enough grass to feed the cows. I read grain is a food source for cows. Where does one purchase grain to feed cows in Ubon Ratchathani? Thanks, Robert

My girlfriend's father is ill and needs help to care for the family's cows and the rice fields. We believe we need help for about 30 to 45 days until he regains his health. Whenever I speak with my girlfriend she seems to imply its impossible to find an abled-body man to perform this work. I believe she simply has no idea how to search and find someone to hire. When I suggest to her to speak to the local groceries stores to network and put the word out, or to contact the headman in the village, or to contact some local government offices I am met with every man in the village is working and no one is available. I would appreciate any help how people find local labor in the villages outside Ubon Ratchathani. Village Na Di is about 40 km from Ubon Ratchathani. The job entails cutting grass everyday to feed 14 cows, feed the cows, take the cows to graze, clean the cow poo from the barn, and tend to the rice fields. I the local rate for this type of work 350 baht/day? Thank you for your assistance.

yes, there was a flaw in my application for the 90 day non-o immigrant visa from my home country because I did need to provide proof of insurance which was a major irritant. My goal was to get the 1 year extension asap as I wanted to travel outside of Thailand and meet some friends in other countries. If I was in no particular hurry, I would just get a tourist visa, change it to a 90 day visa extension and then change it to a 1 year visa extension. Also, I already have the 800K in the bank for a significant amount of time.

Unless you are in a rush to go to Thailand, I would suggest you do as I am and apply for 90 day non-o immigrant retirement visa in your home country, and then change this to a 1 year retirement visa extension in thailand. Otherwise, you will need to change the tourist visa to a 90 day non-0 immigrant visa in thailand and then change the 90 day visa to a 1 year extension.

With much sadness my girlfriend's daughter wants to get her nose changed to look more caucasian. While we disagree with her decision, ultimately it is her body and we cannot do much to change her mind. That said, we would like to find a quality clinic or doctor to do the surgery so it is done correctly. Ideally we would like to find a doctor with ethics who might dissuade her from this entirely unnecessary procedure. If you have any recommendations for a clinic or and/or doctor, we would very much appreciate learning the name, address, phone number, and/or Line ID. We are located in Chaing Mai. Thank you, Robert

Hello, My girlfriend's family has begun raising cows, yet they have not cleaned and disposed of the cow manure for several months. I am looking for a company that will provide several men to load the manure onto a truck and haul away the manure. Their home is in the Na year or Na Ya district of Ubon Ratchathani. Thanks for any leads to help dispose of the cow manure. Thanks, Robert

thank you everyone who has contributed.

Hello My wife's family began raising cows and now need a cow barn and a hay shed. I know that proper design is important for ventilation, amongst other things or the cows may get sick. The family is planning to have about 12 to 15 cows and calves. I am wondering is there a standard, inexpensive design for a cow shed and hay shed that some one can point me to that is in Thai or Issan so they can read it. Does any know an approximate cost to construct a cow and hay bar? And do you know quality builders to consult the buildings. I know her father and brother say they can build. I know they can build a structure, yet the structure would simply be pieced together, rather than well thought out. If I provide the money, I would like it build properly. They live in Village Na Di, Na Ya District outside Ubon Ratchathani. Thanks, Robert

Are there any hospitals in Ubon Ratchathani that will have available for reservation/purchase Moderna (3400 baht for 2 doses) or Pfizer vaccine? There have been private hospitals selling vaccine in Chaing Mai, I am curious whether there are any hospitals with a similar program in Ubon Ratchathani? Thank you. Robert
