It is not difficult to set up an a/c with the BAAC or Tor-Kor-Sor. I have an a/c with the BACC, am a foreigner and can access funds if I want.
Requirements are:
1. You own your own home
2. You are married
3. You own a farm
4. The farm is productive.
5. The loan is for farming purposes
The amount you can borrow depends on the value and productivity of the farm/s.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Could you please clarify am a foreigner part - Non-immigrant O or Permanent Resident or what ? Enabling you to open an a/c with the BACC ?
...and another part You own a farm - Registered under your name as a foreigner ?

The 1 cycle per litre type is very common and easy to find in hardware stores or power tools stores here in Chiang Rai.
It is the must have item for backhoe operators here, they want to refuel their backhoe fast...
-
The above picture is 4 cycle = 1 litre at ฿800
There is another type, 1cycle = 1 litre at ฿3'000.

Seriously !?!! Manual ...

กวักมรกต Kwak as in Nang Kwak, Morakot as in Emerald colour. This plant has glossy leaves.
I have 5 pots of this plant. We Chinese believed it to be fortune plant. I brought 9 leaves from my mom's garden in Malaysia in 2007, she told me to plant them in pot and wait for 8-months. The believes is that if the plant sprout meaning good luck, but if not then just let it be and continue with what ever you are doing with your life.
5 survive and 4 died.
Planting method she taught me was to get a medium pot with soil and compost premix, bury half the leaf upright with leaf stalk downward and wait. It take times to grow a root the size of an egg yolk, while the single leaf will wither and decay. The 7-8 month, if you are lucky... New leaves on a single stem will sprout. Too much water will rot its root during that period, once every 6-7 days will do...make sure pot have drainage holes. Genting Highland Casino in Malaysia has some of the biggest and most beautiful ones I have ever seen in their reception lobby and the cleaning workers wipe every leaf off dust with damp cloth so that the leaves retain their original gloss. My plants leaves are dusty because they are place outdoor. It is an indoor plant require little sunlight little water.
Celebrate !
Flower !
By the way... That is not a plant !

Free Money !?!! Sorry no such thing... I do understand that you have a good heart and you are educated and you really would like to help... But you have no or not enough money. But the agrarian society is like that... You need investment capital to improve living standard making profit.
Do you live here in contact with modest Thai people? Ask.....Government help people in distress for many reason here. May be no so much or enough for some, but its help. Many times, even not asking about.
Just an example: Many houses in my village had roof destroyed by an ice torm in 2014. Without asking, the following week everyone get a message from the District to ask for FREE roofing. We got more than 20.000THB in material in few days without restrictions or conditions, everyone did...and I am talking about hundreds of homes. Many farmers got money for crop damages.
Farming is a Thai Government concern and always was. Asking for help do not cost money, just time and research, and sometimes people got good and surprising responses. But, not everybody do that, and most keep waiting for somebody to offer help.....Can happen...but not often.
The universal problem with poor people is that also its do not get useful, sometimes vital, information that requieres some education and interest.
Very sad but true.
Yes I do live here... On extension it is my 9th year and I invested for my family farming Clarias catfish on commercial scale since year 2000 from scratch + other money making farming like piggery to 658 trees of longan plantation contract out collecting ฿200k per year... In term of loans from local co-ops or banks and leasing and finance, yes there is plenty...of course with interest %.
Your described example are about natural disaster like flooding of (registered) paddy land, hailstones storm damaging houses' roofs or earthquakes.
For what your OP stated... the term is Grant.
In an example... Government land title grant, so selected group of people or village can cultivate/agriculture for sustainable farming and make a living. But granting investment capital is very rare, farmers are encourage to apply for loan from co-op agriculture farmers' bank like BAAC (Tor Kor Sor) or community co-op like Sa Ha Korn.

I see, the ฿17/kg was a typo thenDepends on the scale and demand and the economic of an item and vicinity... most farmers HERE bought it at discounted price of ฿10/kg... cow manure grounded at ฿17/kg (in-demand)...
"cow manure grounded at ฿17/kg"
What does "grounded" mean?
I find it hard to imagine that anyone would pay ฿17/kg for cow manure
Normal price here is ฿20 for a sack
I try to express the meaning of grounded as ground beef
... meaning that it is like ground beef... farmers collect cow dung by the pie and have tractor wheels going over it by mean of meshing and then bag it. Farmers here buy my empty feed sack at ฿3 and sell the load collected at ฿17/sack load. Your area may be selling at ฿20/sack but here they are selling the fine stuff at ฿17/sack.Sorry it is a typo, just realise it... ฿17/sack ... (฿3+฿14)

Other option - Sa Ha Korn (similar to Tor Kor Sor BAAC)

Exactly my point. It is very expensive as you need 5-10 times more manure than 46-0-0 which costs just 13B/kg.
Nope... They think as equalling to sack per sack not as 5-10 time... they think it... not me~ I don't do plantation... I am a Pla Duk person...

Chicken manure is very expensive. For the same amount of nitrogen as 50 kilos of 46-0-0 costing about 650 Baht you need to spend about 3,000 Baht on Chicken shit. You are also not sure what you are getting as the market is unregulated. You may well end up importing a lot of unwanted stuff to your soil as well as the nitrogen. It does have the advantage of a slower release rate but that also means you need a lot more of it for immediate results. In short it is uneconomical
Nothing wrong with so called chemical fertilizer and much more economical but it should be applied correctly.
Farm chickens and grow your own chicken pooh!
฿3'000 ! I stop drinking right now, you got my attention. Wow ~ I'm going to find out more... There's a huge profit to be made... Thanks !!! RIR eggs production farms in the north... I'm your new broker~

Farming is profitable in commercial scale, one would need to understand what is going on in their vicinity, districts, province or even region. What are the co-opts or associations that is available and what are the advantages and impact.
For example in my village... Sweet corn.
There is a big company with about 2'000 rai of land renting it out to farmers at ฿500/rai/year in 3 villages for co-op sweet corn farming and guarantee buy back. 2 seasons per year at ฿4-5/kg (2-3 cobs), 3 brokers to groups of 87 farmers ranging from 8 rai to 76 rai.
Yields from 3-4+ ton per rai, after deduction of production cost net profit is 55-60%. The neighbour whom I mentioned only got 2+ ton per rai due to bad soil condition result from 7 years of heavy chemical fertilizer from his brother using his 12 rai rented land while he was away working in Bangkok. When he came back and took over...yield fell to the lowest and he just bought a Kubota L3608 paying through BAAC. I ate his corn, the kernels were small...half the kernel size of other farmers'.
He blamed his brother for abusing his plot when others were using chicken/cow manure with moderate use of Chemical fertilizer. He is bleeding from his eyes while others celebrate...

We plant corn in when rainy season starts in May and harvest it in late August. As soon as it's harvested we plant sunflowers and they are being harvested this month. The soil will then be prepared for the new planting of corn in May. Some farmers grow a quick yield crop such as seseme seeds between the corn and sunflowers but we don't. This is the first year that all of the corn was harvested using combines. We, a small farm coop, have two JD combines , a 9500 and a 6620, one which I imported from the US last May. The same combine can be used for harvesting both crops by changing the header.
We also grow sugar cane which is being harvested now until April. It is all harvested by hand. A different combine is required to harvest sugar cane an , although there are a couple around, most cane is still burnt and harvested by migrant labor and the few locals that want work. This year the migrant labor force is way down and the migrant camps are not full. I guess that it's due to the crackdown on illegals by the military.
Using a combine to harvest is the way to go, but it will take a long time to recover any investment. They are very expensive and repair parts are also outrageous. I just imported some simple chain links from China. They cost around 350 baht/ea each in the US, here at the JD dealer they are 650 baht/ea and the ones that I just imported cost122 baht/ea after paying all of the shipping and duties. I just bought a set of front tires for the 9500, 164000 baht, I can get them in the US for less than66000 baht. On and on! To recover any ROI we not only harvest the crops of the coop members but also provide our services to non-members at the cost of 600 baht/rai. We've harvested corn as far away as 125 kilos and are also planting there in reclaimed rice land since the farmers don't have the proper equipment.
At the beginning of harvest season, corn prices were up 9000 baht/ton and gradually sunk to around 7500 baht/ton. But yield was down due to the draught. Last year we were getting well over 1 ton/rai, this year around 800 kilos/rai.
All of the farmers that I know have maxed out their credit line at BAAC, but it's been that way since I moved here. They pay a little in and get as much as they can back to max it out again. I'm not sure that it's any different here than it is with small family farms in any part of the world.
wayned... Are those sweet corn for human consumption or are they the dry hard type for animal feed ?

11.5 rai got 45 ton. Labour contract out @ 700 Thb/rai harvesting, number of labourer contractor issue... tractors and trailers village co-opt. Number of villagers involve in sweet corn plantation 35.
-
All the villagers involve in sweet corn farming are doing very well in my village... except for one of my neighbour. He got the same thought like the OP neighbour because he fail miserably on his yield and is deeply in debt with BAAC.
He didn't do anything WRONG... It's just what he's not doing RIGHT... (like the others)

Use the courier/tranport...eg. Nim See Seng Express. I use this company for courier services of tractor spare parts for my shop from Bangkok.
Google the name and check their pricing for provincial normal/express next day delivery.
I have seen 2 scooter Honda Wave 125cc delivery to Chiang Rai for a mere ฿400... and also a family move house furniture and belongings in a whole container for ฿6'000 from province to province.
Renew Malaysia passport
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Posted
Information from Malaysia Embassy in Bangkok website stated no passport renewal service since year 2009. I thought I'd ask here before I email the embassy.
