I'm of the same but I still don't think like a Thai and I'm sure deep down inside you don't. It's not in our nature. You can act like a Thai but think like one? Never.

Will never be a Thai, Born into a unfiorm and will die as my daddy told me, just find here I can die at my on pace,
May be alcohol or smoking, a bullet in the head in the jungle or a motorbike accident, but I will die a free man.

what is current price of palm per kilo ?
Girlfriend has been waiting nearly 6 years now and hoping that we will start seeing "harvest" from palm trees this year. Heard that the price is not so good as the Chinese are planting a lot themselves now. ??

Palm oil for March delivery jumped 1.6 per cent to 2,286 ringgit ($654) a metric ton on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives, the highest closing price for a most-active contract since Nov. 4. The benchmark price for the edible oil rose for an eighth day, the longest rally since 2010. Rubber climbed for a third day on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange and traded near a four-month high.

Is this index something that should be followed to see if the expected price per kilo would go up or down for the farmer ??
