Mildred thinks 'Paint' is OK though. Windows 10 has a sort of basic photoshop. I only use it for cropping and rotating, but it has other options which I haven't used. Just click on any photo and enlarge it, then click on "edit" and select the option desired. I hate that photoshop is now only rentable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food was not as clean, and fresh, as it should have been. No tissues on the table; or any table. Water in the jug warm. No tooth pics. Toilet hadn't been cleaned for about 11 years. Mrs Owl didn't even eat her pork balls soaked in dead fish sauce. Certainly not a 'treat' of any sort. But par for the course in these parts. Sounds like you have a business opportunity. Open a restaurant doing it properly and you'll be minting it. Might be more profitable than the farm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kadilo Posted March 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Great stuff. Keep it going. Been back just over a week now. Spent last weekend in Udon, very quiet. Noticeably more so than usual. Made my way back up here in the NE to the other half’s village where I will stay until heading for Nakhon Phanom for a couple of days before heading back to Udon then back to UK. Usually back most months but with all the Corona goings on, will probably let’s things settle for a bit, especially with all the self reg stuff coming out past few days. Seems to be festival season. Every temple seems to have something going on. Some noisy music events, some just hoards of locals listening to the monks for hours. Seems to be a glorified reason for an all day p.iss up for many of the local gents. Been down to visit the land. Be a nice view one day watching the sun go down. The old lady has sold all the plots now, mostly foreigners. Mine is the last one to have soil down so the local soil man is badgering me for business. I will probably do it soon especially as it seems many foreigners are looking for land near to the lake.I’ve been coming here 6 years and the number of foreigners here is def on the up. The latest talk of the village is this 15 rai purchase for 15 million and what looks like a monster home going up. The latest addition to the family home. That’s 4 dogs now. I bought them 23 chickens last month and they are now producing around 20 eggs a day. Her mother is over the moon. I think it’s just the fact she can sell something to the neighbors makes her feel Like some kind of business person. Been for our usual one hour exercise round the lake. Nice way to watch the sun come up. Usually ends up being around a dozen who turn up at the same time. I’m hoping one day they extend the path round the lake for cycling and walking much as they do along most Mekong resorts such as Nakhon. But for now it’s pleasant enough. After that some grilled fish for me and sticky rice for brekkie. Had a local fair and market in the village, finished 2 days ago. Plastic and rubbish still everywhere. This is only a fraction of it. This is where Thailand let’s itself down. Light years behind. Today will probably cruising around the lake on my scooter. It’s about 40km in all and I love it. Roads are dead. Have a good day.

Some have spent quite a bit of money and closed after a few weeks/months. There a few around the lake, my girlfriend has a friend who owns one, and they are raking it in but tbh few and far between I think. There is a noodle shop I love in the next village, Seka, which is great value for money. One I had yesterday after taking the kids swimming for 30 baht. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to be careful in that area, as the site could be linked to the salt fields. Send me a PM with the geo' ref' and I'll check it out. I know that area quite well. Was going to buy some land near Ban Dung 12 years ago. We had a good look at it and made an offer of 7 million Baht (they wanted 10). The land owners said 'yes' in principle but wanted to check with family. I went back to England, and while I was there the wife let it slip that she was married to a farang. The price suddenly jumped up to 20 million. It also had a nice pond. Seven million was about right, 20 million a joke.

Seven million was about right, 20 million a joke. Land still for sale this year. Last Monday my wife and I bought a very small piece of land in Kalasin on which to build a house. I deliberately stayed out of the picture until an agreement was signed. My wife paid off the mortgage on the land for the land owner and then held the title deed up until arrival at the Land Department. I was picked up at her sister's home and traveled to the Land Department so the land could be transferred to us. It wasn't until we all arrived there that the seller found out that a westerner was involved, by which time it was too late to demand more for the land. I must admit that it is quite possible that had he known about my involvement from the beginning, he may not have increased the price (he was looking for a quick sale), but we thought it better to play safe. The Land Office official was surprised when we said that the land was to be in joint ownership of my wife and I; shaking her head at the audacity of this foreigner. This is despite me having already shown my ID card. She said it was not possible and then went to consult with someone more senior, who set her straight. It was probably one of the first cases of new Thai citizens buying land at that Land Office. Next steps are having the land surveyed and new land limit posts put in by the Land Office, filling the land and fencing off. Will start building the house on it in about 3 years, when I retire. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post owl sees all Posted March 15, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Owl log - 15-03-2020 - Sunday 21.00 Thank you everyone for visiting the topic, and for all the encouraging comments. +=+=+=+ A long post today. Kick off with the Buddha pond; all done and dug. About one and a half metres deeper. Hope it's deep enough. Just wants filling now. The big bikers were at the farm today. The bikers found some eggs in the hay-stack. Exciting times at the farm. The big tree is no more, and the branches are waiting for the torch. But on the upside, there is a new place to play. After I fed the fish I had walk around number one farm. It's the biggest farm at 30 rai. Wanted to have a look at the palm stubs, which have to go before the eucaliptus trees go in. The tractor has to push them to the side, by the road. They are really stuborn and do not go quietly. They have been uprooted, shoved about by the tractor and set fire to twice. One even decided to start growing again. Found a pig-feeder from about 8 years ago. We had pigs back then. They were lovely. I think we had 10 altogether. But to be honest, I was never at home with the big male. He was a real handful. His name was Tookey, and he was forever going walk-a-bout. Once he found his way back to the village, where he was born, 3 kl away. We also had a couple of buffaloes; another saga that. Bringing tears to my eyes just thinking of them. Have to get the feeder back to the farm house. Not today though. The farm across the road from us was doing farmwork and there seemed to be a lot of activity, so I went and had a butchers. Nice to see the worm casts showing. Worms are of real benefit to farms, but when the stubble gets burnt, the worms can't always get away and many perish. It ruins their habitat, and takes away their food supply, so they don't repopulate easily. Same with the poisons used to kill everything; paraquat, glyphosphate (round-up) and forurdan. Worms can be sensitive, On the way back I got a shock. No problem; didn't go right through my foot. Just half way. This grass is incredibly strong and tough and will have to be ploughed in when the tractor work starts. Great for making fishing floats though. Mrs Owl was still watering when I got back. Mangoes for breakfast, dinner, tea and snacking; starting next month. You over there! Watch my palm trees. Cows are so easily satisfied. Just like us farang in Isaan. Bye y'all.

Are they cute; or what?! Tookey was a beast (or just a big pig). I could never handle him. Every time I grabbed him I'd finish up on the deck. He just didn't like farang. 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 Found out where most of the Buddha Pond mud and clay went. Can't make out what they are doing yet. Mrs Owl says a road. Maybe. 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 There was a big gusty wind for 5 minutes the other night. That doesn't look right. Because they are empty. More work for someone. 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 What's occurring? Where's yer mask? 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 Found a nice lot of ants. They are the real nasty ones. Bite like, well like a biting ant. Mrs Owl loves 'em. If I said anything she'd be over. Calls them lemon ants. A delicacy in Isaan. 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 A new cat arrived today. Just can't say no to cats. 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 The rat catchers came to the farm this evening. Set a couple of traps and made noises like a rat. Prodded a stick down a hole or two and put some grub down. All very scientific. Works well!! More later. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phon Phisai I know it quite well. Very nice area indeed. The river is not too wide there so the water absolutely tonks through. Well, I am not sure of 'peace and calm', but at least I've not had a cat thrown at me for some time. But! Have to take it in my stride. A lot of the time humour sees me through. The wife was so angry with me that she was going to get young boys to kill me as I slept. "Young boys". I said; "send young girls and let me die happy." The wife didn't have a happy childhood. Her parents sold her a few times, when she was very young; but she kept being brought back. She left school at 12 (everyone did, unless going onto higher education). And her older brothers would beat her when she wouldn't bring in the buffaloes during thunderstorms. Dear, dear, dear. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else though. Love Isaan. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post owl sees all Posted March 21, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Owl Log 21-03-2020 Exciting day at the farm yesterday. The water was low enough in number seven pond, for the children to go mud fishing. They did very well. So well,,,,,, that the adults got interested. Even the cow-lady got interested. And what a good catch. Fifty pla nin (tilapia) and two very decent snake-heads. Back at the village, my new mango tree was shooting up. The lady opposite has bagged her low hanging mangoes. Whether this is too keep the insects out, or stop passing villagers accidently taking them; I'm not sure. Another week end without footy. Alternative; watch space jungle and James Wong (again). If I get hold of this virus I'll kick it right into touch. It's ruined all the sport. More to follow.
