Re: Red Wine

17 litres of grape juice plus 3 litres of bottled water works fine in the standard 20litre water container. Leave to stand for 6-8 weeks so that the sediment settles, then syphon off from 2 inch from the the bottom of the container. :D

Re: COVID-19 RULES WHEN FLYING OUT OF THAILAND

My wife and I travelled to UK on Thai Airways on 22 Feb. The only document we had to produce was the UK Passenger Location Form.

Since arriving in UK we have been able to have my wife's vaccination record (in Thailand) transferred to her UK NHS record. :D

Re: Rice Garden Economics

Thanks for the feedback, not very much detail but it would appear that wives like to have their own 'rice garden', but don't care about the economics. The Min. of Ag. give the average yield as 450kg per Rai which the Government will purchase at 4 Baht per kilo (Hom Mali), and 11 Baht per kilo for 's...

My wife has a Rice garden of 9 Rai where she grows 'sticky' rice for the extended family. There is one summer crop per year.

Re: Thai driving license.

As I understand it, you cannot legally drive in thailand using a UK licence. You require either a Thai licence or an International Driving Permit (despite what the car/motorbike hire companies tell you}. :shock:
