This year nightly entertainment over the three days includes on the first night a junior talent competition, get your offspring in , they may be the future star that will keep you in your retirement, who knows?
The second night is the hugely popular Miss Mango contest where age is no limit, just over 16 thats all .This is accompanied by the VIP dinner which guarantees you a prime view of the lovelies, just book a table for 10 in advance , a great social occassion and chance to get to know other locals .The third night is Mor Lam night a popular group has been booked, goes on till early next day, so no sleep for me that night
All this is accompanied by over 100 sales and trade stalls selling everything from cars to candy, plus of course lots of individual traders with the usual vast selection of mangos of all sizes and varieties at reasonable prices.
No mention about the Mango fair would be complete without the huge Red Cross stand , with it's multitude of prizes where eveyone is a winner .

Tops in Nong Wai
Sad to say although not surprised the Tops Superkoom store in Nong Wai is closing permanently at the end of this month. It never looked to be a success as it was just another mum and Pops style establishment, over crowded with the same stuff all the other village shops were selling, on the other hand the Tesco branch here seems to be doing reasonably well .

Re: Non Wau Sor News
I think that is closing also here in nong wua so. I passed yesterday and half of the shop was in boxes.
Grape picking.
Never thought I would see this in Thailand yet alone in Nong Bua Lamphu.
A friend of a friend has started a PIY grape farm up in NBP the wife went there yesterday to preview this years crop and there not only looking good but tasting delicious as well, although it's not open to the public until 13th this month as he thinks there not quite ready he let her pick some. The ones she got were seedless and he reckons to be selling them at 120bht green , 150bht kg black .

Do you have a location, address, village or directions ? They certainly look pretty good.

Might add there are a lot of plant and tree sellers this year located both sides of the main road for the duration of the mango fair .

Re: Non Wau Sor News
A few visiting guests including the governor and his wife at the red cross tent trying their luck but just like me only got the consolation prize .However in the first few hours a fridge , three bikes and a lot of minor domestic appliances were won .
I got a bottle of pop and four packets of soap powder , guess I'll go home now and do the washing, leave the missus to do the fund raising .

The benefit of country living .
One of my special joys of living out here in Nong Wai is the abundance of fresh crops, in this case fruits in my garden .
This is especially so at this time of the year, these photos were taken this morning.
Delicious mulberries, high in vitaminn C.
Pomelo, a nice breakfast fruit.
Jack fruit, nearly ready to eat with both the flesh and the stones edible .
Some more for the future
Coconuts a delicious drink and tasty flesh.
Limes for the occassional G&t and on pancakes.
The list wouldn't be complete without the tasty papaya.
Of course bananas by the ton, big ones and little ones, always a tasty addition with ice cream or custard and the surplus being made into banana bread for freezing .
All at no cost after initial planting, you can't get better than that, fresh and free. .

Re: Non Wau Sor News
Nows a good time to start with the rainy season soon upon us, don't leave it too long or you will have problems cultivating new plants .
On Non Wau Sor news topic, interesting to see the mango fair pictures have been viewed over 300 times and my garden topic over 150 but only one comment has been posted for both .Am I to assume that there isn't really an interest in what happens out here, be honest I won't cry :-" But I will just stop wasting my time if folks aren't interested.

To me they're worded a bit like reading a newspaper (which is good I hasten to add) but I never get the urge to write in to the Editor if I like a particular article
I personally like reading the threads but may or may not see any relevance to making further comments so I guess its your call if you want to stop posting

Re: Non Wau Sor News
No not really looking for an ongoing debate, just simply wondering why so many views and apparently little interest, but I enjoy sharing things about my home village and didn;'t want to waste my time and other peoples posting them if they weren't .Thanks for replying at least now I know I'm not talking to myself .Nigglyb wrote: ↑March 8, 2018, 5:53 pm]
