Thailand Transplant Tales and How to Become a Gentleman Farmer in Thailand

This is a book of about 40,000 words in two parts. Part one covers the relocation of a retired retailer and his Thai wife to a sometimes too exciting life on a somewhat neglected fruit farm two hours out of Bangkok, in rural Thailand. See how they handle the challenges of their new life, so different from what they were living in his home country. The transition from decision to arrival in Thailand took seven short months. Follow their frustrations and sometimes amusing adventures for the first two years, rebuilding the farmhouse and restoring the orchard to production. Part two is an information resource for anyone also considering coming to live in the Thai countryside. All aspects of rural Thai life are covered: Buying farm supplies, hiring builders, land ownership, water and electricity, employing staff, property security, how to find expert advice. Even owning dogs & cats and protecting your own health.
