Really cheaper there in issan?

[Marmite the Dog]

So usually either pooket, pattaya, bk, udon or maybe samui.

and Hua Hin, Chiang Mai and maybe Koh Chang.

Farangs living in Isaan are all impoverished

I can truthfully say that I know not one skint foreigner in Issan, present company excluded..
Touristy destinations on the other hand, you'll find a lobster red tanned beggar on every other street corner..or bar stool.

I know one, but he does no harm to anyone and is liked and respected locally.
Well, maybe two after I pay Mr Kubota.

^ Umm, care to decodify that RS?

reasons to want a tractor if you can.

As a toy. Gradually wanna turn my little patch into a veritable cornucopia of produce, and have some fun doing it. It's only a toy tractor btw- KRT140 I think it's called. Certainly not to make money, I'm not a commercial farmer & not bothered becoming one.

It's a good thing you didn't post this on Thaivisa, even though you've stated you don't want to be a commercial farmer, as you'd have the DOOM and GLOOM merchants loudly informing you that it's not possible for a farang to be actively involved in commercial framing.

Out of interst, and not related to the above post but to the subject generally, who is Patty and what is a P4P?

Really?

They do have several members commercially farming though. Unless for 'specialised' uses- such as you need a smaller vehicle with maneuvrability to get between trees- I doubt a commercial farmer would really be in the market for a KRT140. They'd want something bigger, with more grunt.

Patty and what is a P4P?

Pattaya, & paid sex.

DOOM and GLOOM merchants

The Thai expat (and ex-expat) community is full of them.
