My knowledge of caravans is nil Peter.

The O.P is asking for any help suggestions do you have any for him ?

Apart from an ark, I'm out of ideas.

Depends on where and how old you are to be honest.

Can plant some teak if you are a young lad, if not, then follow the locals like a sheeple.

I was merely suggesting he start a caravan park, they are very popular down under and more productive fiscally.

sorry for the digression.

Next time, consider what you're buying and why you're buying it-before you buy it.

2 years later the OP is still asking the same questions.

Have a couple of rai that we would like to plant with trees. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions as to the best type to plant. Looking for a fast growing cash crop if that's at all possible. Cheers

rubber trees would be the best, top price to come later when its time for you to cut. go for really dense planting, not even wide enough to get the tractor down.

The best days for rubber in Thailand have been and gone.

Even so if rubber was to be planted really dense is not going to be of future benefit.

Close planting will result in overlapping crowns and soil degradation meaning a lower yield.

I might stay away from the traditionally agricultural-mafia controlled items - therefore the market and your profit margin - and go with ag/horticulture products that might have a more lucrative domestic or int'l market.....

What always is consistent are the local community needs - local market.
Flowers, herbs, vegetables, some fruits, tobacco [restricted to areas], etc with high return right now. Be eclectic - try something exotic that has an high export fashion.

I'd stay away from rice, rubber, pineapple, etc.
The yield isn't worth the political entanglements.

...or, if you've the patience and time - plant the whole area with teak.
You'll be waiting for some 20 years, but still valuable - even if controlled.

Particular livestock is a viable option, as well.
