Regarding the farm - there is something that has been annoying me for a while - pigeons in Thailand. I see they are doing things about that African fish - but pigeons are far worse of a problem. As I explained to the missus - we bred them to grow big quickly and to breed like flies - they were our 'postal system' for a long time - and they live in our houses, because we bred them to do that. But we kept them outside in pigeon coups, because they are bad for diseases from their droppings in the air. They did not breed in winter in Europe where we bred them, but here in Thailand they breed all year - once pair can make another 12-20 birds in one year. But pigeons can breed at 6 months - so after one year that one pair can make up to 20-30 birds. Without any serious predator here - even cats have trouble with pigeons due to their size - they will take over an area within 2-3 years. If left unchecked in Thailand, they will take over village by village, and they will drive out all other competing local birds - they are bigger, stronger and breed way faster than any local breed. Good for the hawks and the few eagles here, but no other bird breed here can survive against them. Plus they will cause a lot of breathing problems in children - they are very adept at living in the roofs of people's houses - unlike the local birds who may make a nest in a box/cage, but they are essentially all 'tree birds'. Pigeons do not sleep in trees - they sleep in houses/factories - in our buildings. I have been nearly everywhere in Thailand and they are more and more prevalent everywhere I go. The wife's family lives in Yasothon (actually just over the river in Roi Et) and we stay in the city. This has been done by us (except for the Covid years) 2-3 times a year, ever since 2014. Every trip there since Covid has shown more and more of them. At first (years before Covid) it was a few and when I warned the missus about them, she thought I was being 'over-worried'. But on our last 2 trips she is now seeing the problem - they are everywhere and there are many more than the last time, and then many more again. Thai Govts in the Provinces need to do 2 things IMO. 1. Declare pigeons an obnoxious breed of animal and start to kill and remove them. 2. Teach Thais how to catch and kill and cook them (frying or boiling is best). -

Life in the Isaan Boonies.
I've only been back in country since Nov last year. Didn't realise that TV had gone or more correctly merged/made into AN. I signed up and at the beginning it seemed ok. A few months went by and then I noticed little changes. Sure there were the typical annoying posters bitching about anything and everything. Old aged guys having pissing contests and the like. But the controlling aspect was a bit over the top. TT seems a bit more easy going without some of the weirdos- 1

Ditto - AN has again become tyrannical - ever since George sold out to the Thaiger (made a killing again I reckon). George came back and sacked a few Mods and then said he wanted it open and free - no more lefty PC controls. It was great for a while - but now it is getting back to the bad days - and I am sure when election time comes around in November, they will be fully back in h**ler woke PC mode.- 1

News Forum - Thailand’s economy to grow 2.7% this year
Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics - the same sort of BS comes out of TAT every other week. The Thai economy is failing - the biggest Thai export is cars and production numbers declined by 17% in the first half of the year - and domestic sales dropped 26%. Thailand's auto production declines further in June-Xinhua (news.cn) The other exports (electrical goods, food, etc) has been 'attacked' by more efficient and cheaper producers in Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam for many years - especially after Covid when Thailand 'stalled' and took far too long to get things moving again. Foreign investments have been a negative number for a long time - despite the Chinese, Myanmars and Russians buying property. This story from CSB in March states 10% decline overall - and it has not slowed since then and it will not stop for a while. Flash / Thai exports in March 2024 | SCBEIC Doing things like handing out 10K to each person, changing Visas and basically throwing open the borders, hitting up taxpayers (including Expats) for income taxes, demanding the BOT lower rates, and all those other announcements about public sector construction projects (land bridge, F1 track, bridge to Samui, etc etc etc) are all desperate moves by a desperate Govt trying to 'save' the economy. But the problems have been already detailed by BOT in press announcements and statements - they are fundamental and require structural change. That is double speak for take away the system that allows the wealthy to remain wealthy, and do things like decrease the Baht's value to attract more tourists and to make exports cheaper (despite the fact that it would mean that the wealthy pay more for their imports). Thailand is at a crossroads - it must change or it will continue to decline. Thailand started the last Asian Crisis collapse in the late 1990s due to their corrupted financial systems, and a smart investor taking advantage of their idiocy. China is much more active now, and other Asean countries are no longer going to allow Thailand to become so big that they can drag them down again. The fact that Thailand banks have been warned to stop supporting the illegal Myanmar regime, when the others all pulled out and stopped being used for their purchases of arms, speaks volumes about what is really going on in this country.- 1

News Forum - Thai man rescued after brutal torture by employers in Isaan (video)
I hope they use the full force of the law to put these 2 vile employers away for a very long time. They probably treat their pets better but I'd doubt they'd have any. No humanity shown so give them none in return. Quite disgusting really
