» I find it very hard to believe that the Ministry of Industry has listed 13 widely used herbal plants -- citronella grass, neem, turmeric, ginger, Chinese ginger, African marigold, Siam weed or bitter bush, tea seed cake, chilli, Chinese celery, ringworm bush, glory lily and stemona -- as hazardous substances.

Life, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 17/08/2020
» In the old days, farmers considered buffaloes their best friends and they were deeply bonded. The animals were not just powerful, but were also very reliable helpers in rice fields. Nowadays, we rarely see the beasts working in the fields because they have been replaced by machines.

Their prices are highly affordable. And you can't beat the way they treat their customers. We sure love their down-to-earth and friendly manner.

Furthermore, buying them means you are supporting the fishermen to catch immature animals.
