We have mangoes but no coconuts, I think some were planted many years ago but failed to grow.

quote: Too much water, currently.

Luckily I don't have that issue rather not enough water around here at the moment. The rice almost died but we got just enough last week to keep it going.
When we built the house the main thing I did was to create a good drainage path for the water to get off of our place and it has worked really well so far.

I actually didn't mean "Thais in general" when I said they what meant was my wife's family here don't eat them, which surprised the crap out of me because I thought they eat everything that is not poisonous.
