RayBan Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Hi MacB, It was great to meet with you at last during our family outing to the Huai Mek dam. Always good to meet face to face, especially after conversing for so long on this and another website, as you mentioned. Now we have made contact and then Sanan and I finding your home the next day whilst visiting Buriram town, well our socializing activities will I think definitely flourish. Both you and your wife Bee were certainly received well by our lot and we look forward to you visiting our local Prakhon Chai events whenever you can make it, you can both be assured of a warm welcome. This is the whole purpose of meetings like this, to make personal contact with friends and acquaintances in the area. Although you posted a separate thread of the visit, I have decided to post my reply on the BUMS thread, as I wanted to indicate to all that we did attempt to get some of the BUMS together, unfortunately it was a very disappointing turn-out, although many have been indicating on this thread that an organized get-together would be nice. I must add that a few BUM members did at least contact me and apologise for not being able to make it due to pressing matters at the time, including Ludo himself, although we used his Time-Out venue for the meet up and subsequent boys evening after the event. If we are going to be serious about a local BUMS thread attempting to promote social events with groups or individuals from other nearby areas, well I am happy to organize such future outings, but we, as the 4 Musketeers of Paisan, would hope for a better response next time………….let’s have some feedback as to how everyone feels about it………is it a waste of time to include other BUM chapters in our socializing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just for interest, the reason we are called the 4 musketeers is as was their motto, one for all and all for one, we support each other in such things, so come on guys, give it some thought and maybe we will have one last bash at it in a few weeks time. Info for anyone that may be interested, I am currently typing this on the train from Buriram to Don Muang airport, just another attempt of my learning curve in local facilities now that our home is permanently here. I am currently going back to my office in Dubai and rather than fly to Bangkok this time, I thought I would take the train journey. I know this will be the last time I use Don Muang, but the Buriram station master assures me any future train journeys will link to a Sky Train system for the new airport, although I am not confirming that myself just yet. However this journey started at 1720 Tuesday evening, the Bangkok express. 437 baht from Buriram to Don Muang and it takes 5 hours exactly, arriving at the airport 2220, with only 6 stops in between. I am in an air conditioned carriage, with reclining seat, blanket and fold away table. Food and drink is given when you initially board and again after leaving Korat. It is a bit like sitting in the economy section of an aircraft, except one can use the mobile phone. I mention this point as it is one of the annoying sides, as all around me phones go off intermittently and there is a young Thai on the opposite seat who is now and again watching TV on her phone, without earpiece, so everyone can hear it. She will be having a very sore toot if it happens again!!!!!!!!!!! A good book, a flask of your favourite tipple and an mp3 system or the likes with earphones to block out surrounding noise would make it not too bad a way of traveling to Bangkok. I will post this once I arrive back at my Dubai office….all for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macb Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Hi Ray: Yes Bee and I enjoyed the meet what a great bunch of guys and partners, although I only got to meet your wife to talk to you have a good one Ray the same as I have and they seem to get on well: I think and will support social activities, and if there are any Farangs near to me that are not blessed with transportation to such activities, then I would be willing to arrange a pick-up point and convey them with there ladies in my truck. As for 'Beachers Bark' yes it is addictive but you need to play it to learn, you could not explain it in writing to many pages lol. Well pleased you arrived in Dubai safely. So you BUMS let us know here if your interested in Social Gatherings. Re- organising Ray you got my support where I can give it you not need to do it all alone.

lotus eater Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 [Here are some other guests that i found in our garden] Well this I think was a cobra it reared up and had a go at me but I won with a Scaffold pole So you do need to be aware of where you walk and keep your eyes open, thats why I strim my garden and keep the grass short. macb First year when we built our main house and started to clean the area( for old rubber tyres, all kinds of containers. old wood etc. ) we killed 7 cobras, among them 1 king and 3 spitting ones. Lucky we had 2 Thai dingos which found them all and alerted us, so our workers could run and kill them, and have a snake bbq in the afternoon. We still have the dingos (we will always have one or two) - last year we haven't seen any cobra, and the small snakes the dingos kill themselves. In addition we have 2 French Mastifs (Dogue de Bordeaux) - they keep unwanted people away. Hi Bergen I am really very interested to know if you got the dogue de bordeaux in Thailand or brought them over from Europe. If in Thailand please tell me the whereabouts/contact of the breeder. If you have a pair perhaps you are going to breed yourself? Thanks a lot. le Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link for your perusal. http://www.puppysites.com/breeder_thailand.shtml macb hi macb thanks for posting those two websites. the thai dog is one of the breeds i'm considering and actually i'd dug up that site already and have told jack that i'll drop by to look. my original post was to follow up on your mentioning that there was a reputable breeder of the dogue de bordeaux (french mastiff). i've looked at the other site you posted and it doesn't lead me to this or the other breeds i'm looking for. hope you do remember where you got that info about the dogue de bordeaux. i noticed you have an alsation. my girl friend is very keen that i get one. the reasons i've resisted are 1) that i grew up with them in my parents' household and do love them but want a change, and 2) because there is so much publicity now that they have become a victim of their popularity by being inbred and have consequently developed congenital problems. I'd be interested to know your views and whether and where you got yours in thailand. also whther they're happy to co-exist with other dogs in the home. well that's enough dog-chat.
