Big hug from Timor🇹🇱❤️🇹🇭Thai people……Couple of Happy family🙏🙏🙏
awesome living. you are very wealthy to have so much under your control. you dont need to go to the supermarket, you are the supermarket ! awesome you even have a pond for fish. awesome.
Late to the party as usual but felt the need to comment. You sir have an amazing farm, where you see "not enough" I see miracles. The fruit, vegetables and fish would make a pretty great income. The textiles are amazing. A corner of the farm dedicated to a B&B (or in Thai Homestay) where you provide those meals you shown cooking would be a paradise awaited for travelers or friends. And the most important and absolutely most valuable of all the farm, FAMILY. A Thai family that loves you and accepts you as a part of it (instead of a un-emptiable bank vault) is the best thing ever. I don't have the financial wherewithal to create an oasis such as this but my life is a wonderfully full and happy one. Peace out my ex-pat brother and enjoy that life now, because everyday is precious. |
Thanks for the visit into your life and the time it takes to make these videos!
i would like to come and visit your farm
i am near to Nakhon Phanom,for next 3 weeks.
beautiful - great job! you young daughter will follow your foot steps, smart - strong .
I love your farm, it is very nicely designed. the fabrics are amazing... you have a very talented wife.
This is soul food. You can't beat living of the land in rural Thailand. Feeling connected - feeling alive! Great video.
I live 30km from Sakhon, I am a farmer from UK, I find land here way to much for its return.
I have a little girl too..
Anyway good blog
Sawasdi! He looks like he invested alot of money in equipment etc. Easier to be efficient and self sufficient when you have such fancy gear. I hope all is well with you. What do you produce from your land just out of interest. Am a big fan of Thailand and Thai culture etc. Great country from what I have seen and learnt about. All the best from Sussex England
Lets gear up
So how much do you have to pay per Rai for farm land?
@@Oggiwara1 hi Svein depend on location start about 45kbaht /ray no shanot and about 80k
@@cegthailand Thai price 20-30 K Thb. Falang price 40 K - 1 Mill.
I paid 50 K /Rai for a 20 Rai operating rubber/fruit farm in the rural Nong Khai Province. The asking price was 150 K/Rai. I'm okay with that.
Lovely video. Really inspiring. I have lived in the city all of my life but self sufficiency seems not only rewarding but also smart.
Respekt, für diese Entscheidung, das ist ein selbst gewähltes hartes Leben.
Für diese Investition hätte man sich auch ein angenehmereres Leben aussuchen können!
this is facinating....I love to see a man with a plan !!!
You have such a beautiful farm! Love the fact that you don’t use any chemicals on the the plants and organic materials on the fabrics. It’s great that the entire family are on board to help out with everything you do on the farm…….good luck!
Very nicely put together video. Personally, I can highly recommend leading a basic farm life in rural Thailand.
Toon & Leigh porpeang farm Thailand
Hahaha now that young man is how it should be
Done ✅
Makes GT look like steptoe! 😂
And you? No comment
He’s certainly not in the ebegging category is he !😬
I think your life is more realistic for most farang Lee and Toon for those farang who live in the country not the city.
water - soil - sunlight and perseverance It's the success of life.
I am every morning wake up 8 oclock and family 3 kids go to school i am go to work and my wife clean home and cooking we stay apartment.now i see your chanel and you are making my dream❤❤❤❤good luck for you.i hope 1 day i can do same you
Wow very beautiful and very nice VDO Thomas and to proud to hear about your idea and your family... Yes I have big smiles to saw Ya Ya on her bicycle around your farm and visiter... Very nice Thomas 👍🎉🌿thank you for share 🙏
Wow, what a set-up! Thanks for the video.
Kop kun krab from Sussex England. Really interesting video. Great farm and the fabric weaving is especially cool. Great work. Best wishes.
Ja mit Glück,Wüse guti Partner und e chli Gält isch das Möglich in Thailand.
Vill Glück i de Zukunft.
Another happy successful expat story. Just like many other prosperous mixed race children and families. A lot of works, a lot of efforts I believe, you have chosen to make these dreams though.
Congratulations!
Hmm..Very organised. Go to Nakhon Phanom every year. I am from Singapore. Thinking of moving there. Best wishes to you and your family.
Fantastic. I have lived in Thailand from uk 11 years and have small farms 30 rai. What you have done is truly amazing and a clever thai wife too. Now uk COVID but when I return 4/21 need to visit you. I live sukhothai. Now I have to watch all your blogs. Funny when your wife say only make 300 litre indigo, did I hear right. That’s unbelievable for non industrial. Keep up the good work..
Love this. My little discovery has been Phimai. I have a lovely girlfriend with her lovely family there. I am working on departing the Uk and moving to Phimai within a couple of years.
lucky man
We are so happy for you guys folks ❤❤
Nice , looks impressive when I see your farm and your idea’s sharing.I would like to visit your farm once.Thx
Amazing work and above all, moral fibre in this crazy world. respect to you and your projects. Very clever 🙏
That looks wonderful and if you have the money I guess you can live anywhere.
Thai women are very hardworking people....
Nice vlog l
Very nice indeed Thomas!
Your the first farang here to show how it should be done ✅
We’re happy plodding away with our 10rai in the process of being all fenced in and breeding Thai Ridgebacks🐕
But anyway Chok Dee it’s a pleasure to watch someone doing it right! 🇹🇭🙏👍
Thank you Michael it is a challenge and good fun . to do this you need to be focused and motivate the team.
Great video
Sehr schöne Dokumentation! Weiterhin viel Glück und Grüße aus Surin.
Nice to see how you are doing a homestead
Sir, i have a big dream which is you have succeed in your life now. I completely hate congcrit life... I am making my house to a natural and farming temple.... When i see this type of vedio. I khow is my last work at my home... Thank you so much sir.
Your farm is beautiful, but more work than i want to do.
there only one thing missing on the farm.... more kids !
only one word i can say Amazing
I have an excellent income from my retirement and have a good increase every year.
Wow ลงทุนมากจิงๆ สุดยอด
Cool, multi-talented wife, incredible farm and care for the land! Soon I hope to be back home in Udon Thani, then I can come to visit if you have any time, ha ha ha! Subscribed!
Beautiful life
as long as you don´t speak out your mind, cause then you will end up in jail XD
great great country..... just a little bit too corrupt and fascist....
I hear that it is beautiful there and out of the beating path in Thailand . It just my own thing , i never goes to the two provinces in Thailand that eat dogs . It is just heart broken for me . I am an animals lover . I adopted 5 homeless dogs of my own in 2015 . I know that not everyone there do that . It sounds like such a low mentality person to think that way but it actually exist but now it seems like the law is getting better in enforcing that . You have lot of animals and organic farming looks beautiful and thanks you for sharing
Wow What a farm, so lovely
Amazing and beautiful farm! Congratulations!!
What a beautiful love story mate😍creating a wondelful family😍 you guys amazing👍new subecriber from Phillippines!! Mabuhay!!
Peaceful place for living.
Amazing farm you have built there Thomas and family.. We have a similar farm although much much smaller (2 rai) in Korat. Being self sufficient is also our aim or at least reduce the amount of times we need to visit the market.
Is your farm open to visits? Would love you come and see what you're doing there. We have many plants/herbs/fruits growing (more than 50) and we are still in the trial and error stage so would love to get some tips and tricks on what you find best.
Since Thomas mentioned he figured he'd need around a 100 rai farm to be self-sufficient, what do you feel? Could you make a 2 rai farm work? I feel 100 rai is huge and certainly it should be possible to be self sufficient with a much smaller farm, but I guess it very much depends on your lifestyle.
@@wolfgangschreurs8700 Hi Wolfgang, 100rai is alot of land and would need workers for sure. Our land is just 2 rai around the house and just a small garden project really but we spend 5hrs+ each day tending to it. We have a lot of ripe Papaya and Mango now as well as fresh duck and chicken eggs that we get daily and all the short term veg that we grow as well. The fish pond is doing really well and biodiverse with an abundance of fish,shrimp and mussels. All the other trees won't be ready for a few more years yet. Although we won't be 100% self sufficient we will have a substantial amount of product grown at home with the small amount of land we have.
I love Sakon Nakhon
Really Nice Job, Farm and Video :) Thank you Very Much for making it, it was Very Inspiring to see !!!
Lovely set up
Wow ! Impressive....very impressive
Wonder what this dudes history and skills are before going to do this in thailand
Very inspiring story Thomas , thank you
Truly Remarkable!!!
Great farm
Fantastic Video. Good Farming.
my wife wants a home with a large yard to plant vegetables and trees. I think 4 rai of land would be enough for my wife.
I love your farm!
great..
Thank you Les well done
Great to see many positive comments. Still very popular. Thanks!
cool, amazing, this video should get more views ...
greetings from indonesian
Thanks. Hope you share
@@DestinationThailandTV okay...

If you can buy 100 rai of land means you are a millionaire already and don't need the farm to survive but is just a hobby
I hope to visit you sometime soon.
Very well done.
Glad you liked it!
Interesting I enjoyed it.. thanks 😊

@@DestinationThailandTV I am trying to locate this family on a youtube channel. What you are referring me is not about this family it is Destination Thailand. Thanks though for your efforts.
E absolute Troum !!
Do you have contact information for Vilamas Ranch? I am Canadian and my wife is Thai from Sakon Nakhon. We own 12 Rai of land in Sakon Nakhon and will be eventually buying more and want a setup exactly like this. We may be in need of some advice in the future
Hi. You can find them on Google
@@DestinationThailandTV it is amazing that folks hold something in their hand that can find anyone, find any place, find most any information and they are totally oblivious to this other than posting on FB or UA-cam. You destination Thailand have the patience of Job.
How did you buy the land? Foreigners cant buy a land like this in Thailand it s illegal
interesting please add subtitles as sound and accents difficult to understand
How much the salary of being a undergraduate in agriculture in Thailand?
Your cash burn rate is looking high .
sweeet life! ✌
Hallo , bin durch Zufall auf deinen Beitrag gestossen. Gefaellt mir gut. Ich lebe in Bangkok mit meiner Familie , aber baue mir in Aranyaprathet auch eine gruene Oase auf. Allerdings habe ich nur 6 Rai. Was koennte ich mit den 6 Rai anstellen ? Tip? Hier in Bangkok habe ich eine Produktion mit Massmode und Konfektion.
Hallo Norbert. Bist du jetzt in Aranyaprathet ? Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz Thomas
Cool farm, please less of the weird overpowering music ;)
Very nice exemple
Do you have snakes on your farm ? I wouldn't mind but would be concerned for family.
Gd
How much was the cost of land?
