Elevator Man said:Someone did translate the Chinese characters, and it does just say 'Old Tiger'...
As for origins, the borders of Cambodia and Laos meet at the top of Thailand and the Mekong River flows along them from China, so it's possible it's shipped into China before tying. Dunno - maybe the label is just from the distributor who shipped it over here, and they happen to be Chinese?
But they've been regular here for two years now, and supply seems pretty constant. The thread color doesn't necessarily denote quality, as I've seen some lousy red thread stuff, but this is bomb - very strong and up, but much more tranquil than most sativas - superb cure too. Whoever is growing/shipping this stuff is taking great care, and clearly knows their smoke.
Other irony is that I just posted some of these Thai seeds to someone in Thailand...
The 'Lo' by itself means old, but "Lo Fu" is tiger when put together. That's actually a pretty cool logo on there.

I saw these yesterday and thought of you! You know, I'd love to do an outdoor run of the Tiger.
