  • Christmas is very different when you live in the middle of nowhere in northeast Thailand…
    Life in Thailand after leaving the UK.
    Join me on my Thailand adventure as I attempt to create a fruit farm on five acres of land, build a house, dig a well for my own water source and install solar panels to become completely off grid!
    Watch me generally fumble my way through every process, trying to keep positive and upbeat throughout 🧘‍♂️

    Just noticed.. yes even outside water tanks will keep their protective plastic wrap on for years in Thailand (the same as every TV or AC remote).

    thanks for sharing, i visited a coconut farm years back, and they use the trench/canals not just for irrigation but also when harvesting the coconuts, they drop them into the water and then float them around to collection points and load the trucks there, i was impressed i would of carried them 55 55 ,

    Speaking of red wine which I always thought was very expensive..I have recently had the quat yai of laughing bird wine deng..its a litre and a halfbottle for 599 baht... Available in Lotus'ss which works out slightly cheaper than we pay in Ireland.

    • @LifeinThailand777
      @LifeinThailand777  9 месяцев назад

      Oh I’ll have a look for that. I know generally red wine is a lot more pricey than in the Uk. I normally spend around 600 baht on what would be probably half that in Uk.

    Wishing you a Sawadee pee mai.I have watched a few of your videos.all great stuff.I just wanted to explore your reasoning of trying to fill your canal with water from your well? or maybe I'm confused.

    • @LifeinThailand777
      @LifeinThailand777  8 месяцев назад

      With hindsight I wouldn’t have done it, just because we ended the monsoon season with a bad flood, which filled the canals anyway. The actual amount of rain we got preceding the flood was very small, that’s why I filled it from the well. Bad timing 🤣

      We considered doing the same on our farm, but my wife and her mother would eat all the profits I reckon 😅
