* More choices for less chemical life *

Today, i want to share with you talad naa chuan (market in front of the governor's residence). As you see in the first picture, the fountain of dugongs (and the gang) is far away. Find the location of Trang governor's residence.

They are farmers themselves who grow plants, produce the products (preserved seafood/veg pickles), or make some food which are certified for organic standard. Randomly often that the officers 'll come and take the example without notification. If ones are found that the products dont pass the standard, they'll be banned for the market.

You can find rice (normal and brown rice), seasonal fruit/vegetable, food, snack(kanom) as i show you in the picture.

Every Tuesday and Friday , 6.00 - 8.30 am (the earlier the more things to buy ^^ )

01/07/2020

This place, Pon, (พล his name), provides organic local brown rice, free-range duck eggs, bananas and some local organic seasonal veggies...He and his mother 'll drive from Pattaloong and settle that truck there.

Day off : Monday excepts that Monday is wan pra ( religious weekly auspicious day that you can see a little buddha picture in any Thai calendar)

Time : from about 4.30 - 5 am. to about 10.30 - 11 am.

I'm his regular customer for at least 7 years. So i'm sure enough to share with you this useful info for being another choice of life of yours.

His rice is Pattalong's geographical indication (GI) product which he and his mother grow themselves organically. He usually sells 2 kinds of them Leb Nok (เล็บนก means bird's nail) and Sangyod (สังข์หยด). Each kind has 2 types of milling.

If you need the most fiber just go for kao glong (ข้าวกล้อง). And ข้าวซ้อมมือ or kao som mue has less fiber but both has much more nutritions than plain rice which most of the restaurants provide us....

The ratio of both rice to water should be 1 : 2 (somewhat) cos the fiber needs enough water to make it soft and edible.

I dont remember Sangyod's exact price maybe 40-45 baht/kg/bag....but Leb Nok one is 35 bath/kg/bag and 3 bags for 100 baht.

let's talk about the duck eggs....I keep asking him if it's raised the same way cos this is his friends' .... Those eggs are in the organic rice field around the barn with natural food they can find there plus some non-processed food from the farmer. And night time, they 'll be taken back to the barn. NO MALE DUCKs in the herd.

Each eggs is 4.5 baht with claimable service once you find out soon later that some is rotten. He is a responsive one. ^^

It's on Praram Hok (RamaVI) soi 1 opposite Kim Pesat (Kim pharmacy) พระราม ๖ ซอย ๑ ตรงข้ามคิมเภสัช. Or from the train station towards the clock tower, pass the junction which having Post Office, after that you take the first lane/road/street on the left and he 'll be there as I show u.

Be cool and healthy ^^
Location : for this place (opposite Kim Pesat)

My Teacher's named Ms. Take : by Leemai

Swaddee ka everyone who is interested in plant-based diet. I'm so happy to meet you all here and i also post this on "Vegan Inspiration Thailand จุดประกาย ชีวิตวีเเก้น.
This is the first chapter for this column 'My teacher's named Ms. Take' So, I'm going to introduce it to you.

Who is Leemai?
She lowers her cost of living as much as possible meanwhile earns the most from that way of life for herself and the others since 2011. One of those ways is 'plant based diet'
She keeps her life-long research and improvement about wholistic health according to natural way of life. She keeps physically healthy along her age. She improves her mindfulness/Sati and wisdom every single breath.

Sounds wonderful, right? But the truth is along my journey is sometimes awful. I dont give up though, instead, I keep improving myself until no more suffering but only peace in me.

What is 'My teacher's named Ms. Take' ?
It's a column sharing with you about my mistakes, misunderstandings and questions about 'plant-based diet' on this page.

Why 'My teacher's named Ms. Take' ?
Because i believe that all the mistakes i've made or experienced from the others should be shared here for you to have some information/lessons properly adapted to your life. Besides this 'Ms. Take' implies a lady who takes (also) the mistakes happening to her life and learns to get better from them.
....Why am I on 'plant based diet' , not a vegetarian or a vegan?
I think to say that 'i'm on plant-based diet' sounds clearer to the others that i 'll eat all those vegetable including garlic, onion, chive....Animal's products can be
clarified later (for example honey, eggs, dairy leather, etc).

Now we know each other. Next time I'll write about 'Chinese Vegetarian Festival'. Let's see what i've done as a mistake and want to share with you here. See you soon. Take care!!

My lunch today.....Colourful soup with my Chef's carrot salad and red beans in bbq sauce.....That bread is called matzah.....Chinese Tea i prefer....

Be healthy and peaceful

Dry the bananas วันตากกล้วย
some reasons to make up my mind to dry them....
1 the bananas are going to get worse before we finish them and i feel bad to throw them even they are for free

2 the whole bunch of big organic one has 20 baht with 12-15 bananas meanwhile the dried general bananas cost me the same but it has only 5-7 small banana, see the different?....

3 this costs me nothing but only my labour, solar power? hah FREE! , the banana leaf? hahah FREE!....

4 i'm happy to eat my own product....

มีเหตุผลบางอย่างที่ลุกขึ้นมาตากกล้วย
๑ มันจะเน่าไปกว่านี้ถ้าไม่ลุกมาทำไรซักอย่าง ถึงว่าได้มาฟรีก็เถอะ รู้สึกผิดถ้าต้องทิ้ง

๒ กล้วยออร์แกนิค (รึเอาง่ายๆว่าปลูกด้วยวิธีธรรมชาติ) ทั้งหวี ๒๐ บาทได้มา ๑๒ - ๑๕ ลูก แต่ถ้าเป็นกล้วยทั่วๆไปเอามาตากแล้วขาย ๒๐ บาท ได้แค่ ๕ - ๗ ลูกมั้งแล้วเล็กด้วยนะ ไงหล่ะ ต่างมั้ย?

๓ ไม่มีต้นทุนการผลิตใดๆยกเว้นแรงงานกายของธิดารัตน์เองฮ่ะ...แดด? ฟรี! ใบตอง? ฟรี!

๔ รู้สึกดีที่ได้กินผีมือตัวเองอ่ะ
