MrSpadMan,

You can try North Gate, which is a jazz club near Chang Phuek gate (north side of the inner city moat), and Guitar Man, which is a rock club on the end of Loi Kroh road, near the Night bazaar. Both places have certain nights with open mike jamming. Dont miss to see Tuk play guitar at the Brasserie, on the Ping River, north of the Nawarat bridge. The guitarist Boy is also a great guy, you'll find him on a small alley near the Night Bazaar, I think his place is called "Boy Blues".

Also, most local bands are very friendly and might let you sit in a jam a song if they think you are skilled enough.

Good luck. If you want me to show your around town, just send a private message. I dont live in the city, but I come visit every now and then.

In Topic: Bubbler Irrigation, Has Anyone Tried It?

drtreelove, rice555,

Great advice, thanks for taking the time to reply.

On the subject of trees, I have too much unused land and I want to plant some long term low maintenance trees. Not for commercial purposes, just for my own supply of wood etc. Any suggestions?

I was thinking of:

Mai Sak (Teak) - for the wood
SaDao (Neem) - for the wood and the edible flowers.
Pai Liang - to use for construction
Pai Trong - construction and edible shoots
Yang Pala (Rubber tree) - not sure if the trees produce rubber up here in the North, but I could use the wood for handicraft.
Eucalyptus - for the wood

Thanks slapout,<div><br></div><div>I like the simplicity of it, so I will try this to see how it works out. Some species of tree doesn't like to be flooded, but then I'll just make the basin shallower.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

In Topic: Weed Control, Any Ideas?

Foreverford, drtreelove,

Thanks a lot for the replies! I will try to find some cover crop like that and try with a Rai or two.

It sounds like I only have to throw the seeds directly on the ground, no planting required? Is it that easy?


60 days of growing and then cut down and let be as mulch, and then start over 15 days later. What maintenance is to be expected of the beans / sun hemp? I guess there will still be some weed competing with them, but I hope it is so little I can leave it be. 8 Rai is a huge area if you need to go over it and pull weeds by hand every week.


There is one type of weed I really hate and unfortunately I have lots of it: its covered with tiny thorns all over and it sticks to everything and will scrape up your skin too. If left alone it grows to about 6 ft tall and the thorns get really large at that point. Stems are very tough and initially it kind of grows parallel with the ground making it hard to cut. Some kind of "super weed". Even banana is hard to get rid of. Tried to just cut it a few times but it keeps coming back. Then dug down to remove the root, to discover that it grows way deep and is hard to remove.


I have one funky plant that is a weed, but its so beautiful I'll let it stay, see attached picture.
