Listen, man, your geo-strategy and approach (tactics) is simply brilliant! All throughout history HUGE Empires collapsed tremedeously because droughts and the lack of water, or vise-versa. Water management is crucial!!! The more waterponds, the life's merrier, as simple as that. I love the fact that you actually gave it a real thought and structurize every one of the sistems properly! Cheers!

[@tariqrahman6918]

Yep that’s exactly what we did when the rain came - go out and dance in it - put buckets out of it hailed

[@tonyfuller8717]

Don’t sweat not being able to keep up with the replies, to be honest the only reason I reply is because I get the added traffic helps get your video more attention from the algorithm. Again I like seeing channels like yours and some others succeed over the homogenized other Thailand videos that have to be all directed by one entity. LOL, seriously they all go the same places and make the same videos within weeks of each other, great to see some originality 🤙

[@faranghomes]

Love to see the progress for this house 😀

[@ThaiBobby]

Love your videos, thanks for Sharing.

[@rajnishchaturvedi0409]

It will be good idea if you can plant bamboo trees on border of your land it will work as an additional boundary wall for your property though it may take 5 years… Love your blogs quite inspirational 😊

[@LifeinThailand777]

That’s great idea. We have a load of bamboo growing already on the farm

Hi Ben, you are right about making noise in grass areas. The snakes will be well gone, but I just want to give you the heads up, there is one snake that just sits for hours on end waiting for its prey, and It don't matter how much noise you make, that is the viper. If I was you I would walk along with a stick waving it on the ground from side to side.

[@Adam-oy4ix]

Malayan pit viper - does not move at all and is responsible for the most bites here in Thailand.

[@giuseppe5643]

@Adam-oy4ix Yes, I would rather be in a room with, 10 King cobras, than a viper, the viper puts a fear in me.

[@carnivorechronicles]

As others said, noni fruit. People fermenter and drink the juice for health purposes. Very expensive.

[@apuestasfutbol]

Doing the grass with my electric mower the other day. Not going lie I did a Usain Bolt when a Pit viper appeared on our lovely Isaan lawn 😢😂

[@SEdwards1000]

There called noni fruit. Very good for health.

[@user-mm7pg3rg8x]

Noni fruit. Very good for health cures many things❤

[@mythai9593]

Nice piece of land you have there 👍

[@kregeckert8351]

I used to live in Hawaii. the "Noni" tree and fruit (I don't know what it's called in Thailand) is used to make a fermented juice with medicinal antibiotic like effects. The Polynesians brought this plant to Hawaii to make medicine. The drink is definitely an acquired taste, just like the cheese. When it's fresh and just right it tastes really good. I used to drink it every morning when I had trees. It's easy to make by putting the ripe fruit into sealed jars. Look up recipes online. I highly recommend it!

[@kregeckert8351]

google "noni juice"

That fruit is Noni and is edible.

[@bigcee3338]

Good Evening Ben another fascinating video, Always something to film from in and around your corner of Thailand. We had one helluva a storm last night but a grand sunny day and its all dried up. Like your goodself summat happens everyday here,today was no exception. Wont go into detail here as its a tad personal but im use to being surprised living here. These people are unreal at times, Hey Ho as we say back in Mirfield.... Cheers.

[@andrewhyland9212]

Great stuff….house looking good.

In my wife’s name, in my wife’s name ! Love it bud. I’ll drop you that outline of our farm (wife’s farm, wife’s farm). and the house position sketch soon. Catch up shortly, Best from us both. Nick & Yisa.

[@magnetkungarna342]

Never use flip-flops in that kind of terrain mate 😊

[@paulie3015]

You could utilize a few large Poly water tanks = 3 x 5,000 gallon tanks would give you plenty of storage for the drier months and with the monsoonal rains, they should replenish every year. I've only ever seen small (ish) poly tanks in Thailand, like maybe 1,000 litres max. Maybe a good business venture for somebody to consider ?

[@BiteAdust4857]

5:11 Nice call about the snake. But next time please make sure to bring along a long stick/branch and keep (gently) sweep around yourself while moving forward. This will make the thing a lot easier.

[@drpk6514]

If you think that trench would take the water in and prevent flooding, it wont work. The amount of flood water is more than any hole you make. The only thing might save you would be a wall.

[@LifeinThailand777]

It’s built to capture the monsoon rains, not the once-every-twenty-years flood waters 👍

[@boxcartwilly]

Thanks very intresting 😎👍

[@thaitraveller9756]

Only thing about rainy season i can't go out any distance on motorbike don't like going in car not exciting enough

[@hilarion7663]

Blessings ☦️, if I were I would put boulders and rocks around the house and also near the road to your home.

[@aussiebicolanalifestyle]

Hi there. I’m about to decide to fix my 100m driveway. I saw gravel on your property. Do you recommend putting gravel on my driveway too. Tks

[@LifeinThailand777]

Yes for us it was vital, because otherwise it’s so muddy during the wet season

[@williamhartz8707]

I can’t walk around my small garden/ yard with flip flops or the small fire ants attack me and it seems the pin size bites are full of venom which I am allergic to.

[@HairyPixels]

I'm learning that tons of land in Chiang Mai is owned by "investors" and they won't sell it except for at least 3x times the market price. It's crazy, I think we may be in a property bubble here but I have no idea. Residential land is already 120,000 USD/acre where I live 20k outside the city center. Not affordable or worth it honestly.

[@inout1038]

Sewage?

[@Mekhong3876]

Walk with a walking stick, then the snakes know your coming. You might notice Thai people are very noisy out on the farm, especially when cutting sugarcane.

[@wendy-0101]

❤👍🏼🙏🏼Fantastic what you are doing. 🫶🏼💞💞

[@curiousclaus]

just a quickie...when you say per Acre, what is that in Thai measurements? rai etc. and I love your house design, is that a free design to buy or something you guys designed yourself?

[@LifeinThailand777]

The land was 12 rai and cost 600,000 baht. The house plan was a design we bought online but then changed internally with our builder 👍

[@mythai9593]

1 acre = 2 ½ rai

[@curiousclaus]

If you remember where online you bought it, would you be so kind to point me in that direction 🙂😉
