Grow fish for food ~ Fish farming thailand
~~~
Hi everyone, just to let you know since this video was recorded we now have a total of 6 fish stock ponds & grow fish for food.
Fish farming in Thailand has its challenges indeed but the rewards are now being reaped . . . give it a go for yourself & breed fish for food, its so healthy & the taste id far superior to intensively farmed fish.
~~~
A walk around our 2 thai fish stock ponds and a brief chat about some of the issues we have had over the years with thai poachers.
Someone once said to us that poor people steal. I however I just think thieves steal. Some thieves are poor and some are not.
We have security fencing in place & carry out daily checks but our breeding stock wont truly be safe until we move onto the farm (Dec 2017). Then any thai poachers will be having a one-off chat with Toon & her machete 555!
We are mainly growing tilapia but there are many other species too. We are also going to start growing catfish ( thai walking catfish - ปลาดุก - Plā duk )
If you live in rural thailand & love fish why not have a go at growing tilapia, they are cheap ( or free if you go & catch them ), easy to grow & easy to sell or just eat them!

Welcome to Toon & Leigh porpeang farm Thailand (Youtube channel started April 2017).
We live in the quiet Prang Sila Thong district of Kampheang Phet.
The late King of Thailand ~ Rama IX (King Bhumibol Adulyadej) was a great teacher of leading a porpeang farming existence.
Porpeang centres around being as close to self sufficiency as possible & not concentrating on growing one crop. The selling of any surplus goes towards buying essentials such as clothes & fuel etc.
It is a way of life that creates very little waste, uses few chemicals & can help the local community.
The vast diversity that can be achieved within a small area is amazing & brings the farmer closer to nature.
Choosing to live the porpeang way can be a steep learning curve with livestock, fish, fruits & vegetables all needing care & attention.
In addition to the farm we are also constructing a jungle style fishing lake.
Cheers Toon & Leigh

KAMPHAENG PHET
In the lower north of Thialand on the bank of the Ping River, Kamphaeng Phet is about halfway between Bangkok and Chiang Mai
Areas along the river bank at present-day city used to host several ancient towns which had played a major role as strategic front-lines since Sukhothai was the kingdom's capital down through the times of Ayutthaya and early Rattanakosin (Bangkok) eras. In fact, the name Kamphaeng Phet actually means "walls as strong as diamonds"
Its great history fell into oblivion & Kamphaeng Phet was an ordinary, smallish province city until the establishment of the historical park and its listing as a World Heritage site in 1991. Still, Kamphaeng Phet is—unlike its well-known neighbour Sukhothai—ignored by the main flow of tourists. Some may view this as a drawback, but those looking to experience the authentic, upcountry Thialand, are coming just to the right place
