Hunting for squirrels in Thailand - Outdoor Squirrel Tail from Phuphan

Some time ago, I asked in another thread, where do I get some good Thai outdoor sativa bud. This weather+being daily active+ smoking indoor hybrid strains widely available here doesn't work for me that well.

So I solved an ancient haiku Thai riddle and got the Tail :biggrin:

I found a chest,
In it, a squirrel's nest.
I took the Tail,
And now I'm high all the day.

1. HANG KRA RORK - sounds like casting a spell in an RPG game. But it just means Squirrel Tail. So if you don't wanna ruin the mystique of a language, stick to the original :biggrin:
Nice smoke, a bit harsher on the throat than the Mekong. I put about 0,5ish in a joint, and by the time I'm done with it I'm high as a kite. Clear head high, maybe some energizing sensation in the body. I like it.

The next one is MEKHONG TaNao. Smoother smoke than the other one, doesn't look that good but it works pretty well. More or less a same type of high like the tail. Maybe I like it a bit better as it's easier on the throat, otherwise the tail is a great bud, same as Mekong.

I find the tail to be more photogenic. Mekhong looks hayish, but it gets you high.

The smell is gone to hardly noticeable, but I don't mind that as long as it works.

Over all, I like this weed. You can smoke it all they long and be equally high in the evening as you were from the first joint in the morning. Without being smashed, like I'd be from smoking indoor weed. It's as clean as the whistle.

And by the way, I find it hilarious that you can get weed delivered by the post here in Thailand:biggrin:
Less hilarious being arrested in my country in the same scenario.

I just saw a white one for the first time today. I was stoked too.
Thailand has a cool diversity of squirrels that I didn’t become aware of until this trip

Ya, everything went smooth with her. The bud is almost a year old, I0m sure it was nicer 6 months ago. But it's not a bunch of hay. I'd recommend her business.
Getting some seeds from her would be also interesting,

Btw, did you light up that squirrel? :biggrin:

I wonder if you can buy straight from her at the farm ?

Im here for a couple more weeks.
‘how long did that take to arrive after you ordered?

That is what I did. Check the link in the photos in my first post.
Took 4 days from Phuphan to Ko Lanta.

thats awesome man. i have her mekhong classic, ta nao sri and squirrel tail.

Indoors!? If so, that's an adventure to grow :biggrin:

be well worth while i reckon GK ,
i d go if i was in udon for sure ...
maybe I could fly to udon and take a bus. I think that it’s about two hours from there by bus or 10 hours from Bangkok big trip. But could be awesome experience and leave me with a better impression of the country after what I have seen in the tourist ridden south. It would be really nice to have some good interactions with some locals while here. It’s the interesting people that I meet traveling about that is my favorite part of being on the road solo.

I would like to ask the thread opener what he thinks about the tolerance of the weed after a few days smoke

and I think I would need to rent a car to get around sakhon nathon. its super rural and spread out
I think so too. The event will be in the mountains
There are only intercity buses, a few songtheaws ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songthaew) running on peak work hours and tuktuks. Living in the province without a vehicle is not easy

You can assist to the event as a visitor and you are encouraged to buy weed from the farmers. As a visitor you cant judge
Any of you know what exactly they are judging? Is this years harvest what they judge?
I am afraid we all might have different judgements on the same weed

I can clearly judge that what they have sent me and I believe is the same stock as the weed the thread opener got, is not the weed I smoked in Thailand 25 years ago, nor 20 years ago, nor 15 years ago and not even 10 years ago.

I feel all the scene is commercially oriented and they are expecting to see stoners with plenty of 100u$s bills on their hands coming to buy the whole harvest from the farmers and I am not sure they care about quality at all. The way I see things is like thai people see farang as a walking 100u$s bill

I think acts speak better than words. If the weed would be the same quality of the stock I smoked in the past, I wouldnt have any doubt and go. I think it applies to all the doubts I am seeing here about going to the event

If the weed would be motivating, to go or not to go wouldnt be a question. If the weed would be on the same quality as the Laos I got from @Donald Mallard, there wouldnt be questions or doubts
It is what it is
If the weed would be motivating enough I would ask Gengis Khan if he would like to travel together and share the cost of the car rental and the trip for the day
But I have too many doubts about if this is worth the effort

Have a nice day

Right on, FH.
would love to have a partner for an adventure like that. But for all the reasons you have stated , it probably isn’t worth it.
they are associating with DNA seeds and Greenhouse so it’s definitely a commercial endeavor.

it’s unfortunate that Arjan has to get his hooks in everything, but I understand the allure his money and success brings. So I don’t blame her for that association.
would still love to check out the farms though. I have no idea what it costs to be an observer.
not sure what they are judging? whose plants look and smell best in flower? I think that they are still waiting to harvest.
.
. The last day is Prempevee birthday party and awards from last competition. No awards for this one. I think DNA seeds gives the “award” money to the farmers.

on her web site it says that she is open to farm stays and volunteers during harvest. That is something I’d rather do than go to a “ganja cup” run by western seed companies.

i agree that these farmers are growing something different. where is the spicy herb?

There's surely a buildup in tolerance, but it still gets me high. I put about 0,5 in a joint and some tobacco. Mekhong is better than the other one.

I can clearly judge that what they have sent me and I believe is the same stock as the weed the thread opener got, is not the weed I smoked in Thailand 25 years ago, nor 20 years ago, nor 15 years ago and not even 10 years ago.

It's from almost a year ago, so considering its shelf life, I'm not surprised that it's past its peak, and I actually thought it will be worse.

Can't speak on that, my first time here. Although I got what I was after. A mild daytime smoke that won't leave me half-retarded at the end of the day. I'm quite active here all day long, it's hot and the way indoor weed fucks me up doesn't go well with the above.
50 grams for 2000 bath is an ok deal, as far as I'm concerned.

I feel all the scene is commercially oriented...

Same as anything else that gets tagged as an "industry". Industries run on money, where's money there's greed. Often at the cost of authenticity and quality.

She sent some samples of hybrids she grew. Still in the fridge, didn't try. Also idk are those from her breeding projects or what...
