I'm still laughing as I type this post.  Guess what happened when he came up to that silver van on the left.  LOL.

Despite it looking serene, after living here for a while I have learned that it could be almost bloody anything I should guess, from a wandering grazing dinosaur coming out the left soi to bunch of drunk tuk-tuk drivers suddenly appearing and stopping in the middle of the road for an impromptu dancing lesson before exploding.

Yeah thaiga, as the old adage goes here......There's nothing that can't be carried on the back of a Honda Wave.  :salute

Or the herdsman who leads the cows out onto a busy highway to graze on the grass in the middle of the median strip. WTF is up with that?....and if there aren't any cows around....fu.ck it..... let's just light a fire to clear down the over growth.  Let it burn on its own, unattended.

Does anyone know what species of cows they have here, because for the life of me, I can't figure out what they are?  They look like some sort of half breed between a lamb with droopy ears and a buffalo.

Yeah, unbelievable really......the hillbilly farm-boy thinks it's fine to cause a mass hazard on the highways for some reason.

Not really, but from what I've heard the usual ones you see are not milk producing cows and just raised for beef. Apparently, it's too hot for the classic black and white freshen cows here and they just die, due to the heat, so they have to hybrid them with the local white "heat happy" types to get something that can live here but produce milk.

However, somewhere like Chok-Chai Farm might well have the real ones in some kind of cool environment to produce all that quality milk you can buy, don't know for sure though.  :cheers

I have seen Friesians near the next village to ours.

The hump backed, floppy eared cows and bulls are, I believe, kept for no good reason. Thaksin's government subsidised the keeping of them and quite a trade grew up. The later, unelected government withdrew the subsidy.

Have you ever noticed that the herdsman dude goes around whacking the cows with some long stick when they misbehave or don't stay in formation?  Maybe, I should get a long stick and whack my cow when she gets out of line. 

Oops!  The wife just saw me write that.  I'm in trouble now.

I'm still not sure what this guy was hauling in those bags.  They look like giant pillows or maybe some Cambodians stuffed in there some where.....

Let's take the dog out for a spin on the Honda Wave.  He can ride on my shoulder.

Yeah, they look pretty similar, but you'll probably find upon further investigation that they'll be the half-and-half hybrids that can stand the heat over here. When you look closely they aren't quite the same as the European ones. Only reason I say is because I saw some too near Rio-Et one time and asked about them to a farmer and that's the reply I got.

 :cheers

You are probably correct but they looked to be near enough Friesians from about 50m away. I'd like to see some Jerseys here.
