Ban Kham Na Di, Roi Et, Thailand
Sunday, November 6, 2011
Feel decidedly better this morning but still ache everywhere as though someone gave me a good kicking last night - perhaps they did ! Things doget better as the day passes and as I eat something. In the afternoon we go to visit Jai's brother Yut in a village about 10km away to see how his pigs are getting on. For those who are ineterested ... he bought a sow for about GBP200, paid GBP10 for the malke pig to come and do his business, and gets two litters of about 12-15 piglets each year. He rears them for about 4 months at which time they weigh abouit 100kg then sells them for about GBP1.50 per kilo. Do your own maths ! He has also just bought a miniature poodle puppy and named her the same as the new Thai prime minister - I am sure that wouldnt be appreciated in some circles.
