Make Money Being A Cowboy

What is the use of Making Money if you can’t have fun by spending it right?

This is the opposite of making money as I was the one spending money today but it is worthy of mention as this is really a fantastic business model and just has to be shared.

What is also great is their website, I have not seen a website designed in flash done so well before! Really quite well done, I take my hat of to this as they really have their whole marketing down to a perfection from website all the way to service and entertainment is one of the best places I have been to in Thailand. Here is the site – Chokchai Farm

You get taken on a tour through the ranch, it is set on an amazing 1000 acres of land. They go through and show you the milking process and factory along with cowboy show and all the fun in between!

1. Buying a ticket was easy as 1,2,3. You give them the money and they let you in!

2. The photo of me on the horse was really one of the highlights of the day. I really love animals and in particular horses. Unfortunately I could not give this horse a good ride but it was good enough for me to atleast go around the oval.

3. Now what would a day out be without having a photo taken with a couple of cowgirls!

4. My wife makes a great shop cowgirl model!

5. They have branded their milk really well, and very fresh and tasty I must say. We bought a weeks supply of milk, ice cream and yogurt!

6. Now that is a big cow! Definitely worth getting a photo taken next to it!

7. I have always wanted to give these 4 wheeler cycles a good bashing, today I made that reality!

8. Shooting down the bulls eye is not as easy as it looks!

9. Feeding the animals was fun.

10. This bird was very smart, he would ask someone in the audience a set of 2 numbers being 5 + 9 = 14 , then the bird would go and get those numbers and bring it to him.

11. Dog jumping through the hoola hoop.

12. The tastiest burgers I have ever had here in Thailand. They truly were!

13. Hey this is cool, A sign that says – “I Wanna Be A Cowboy”

14. The cowboy show.

15. On the way driving home, a few km’s away I had to stop and get a photo in front of this amazing runned down wrecked plane!

Thanks guys, hope you enjoyed my post, please feel free to leave comments behind.

Travel Social Networking

Tags: Travel Social Networking

I had looked around a fair bit at other social networking sites related to travel and there was nothing really that striked me, apart from Wayn and Travel Pod.

So it wasn’t before long I was able to get into the list on Wikipedia (Impressive for a site that is only over 1 month old) as you can see because of our name Exploroo we are directly above Facebook , this has happened just as a matter of coincidence, the odds are really about 1 in a million.

So after searching in google for the keywords “Travel Social Networking” I decided to buy the domain TravelSocialNetworking.com, to my surprise this was available! This keyphrase has around 90,400,000 websites competing . It was shortly after I also secured even my own Facebook url aswell . This is big for us, particularly Frank who wants to rival Facebook, you can see he had also taken on his personalised URL in Facebook.

You can never knock someone like this with big ambition. Already on first page of google for the keywords “Travel Australia” and soon to be for “Global Travel“, going up each few days by around 40,000 in Alexa is also very promising.
