My first walk in Pattaya this trip. The new supermarket is just along the road from my condo.

I like the bar name...

Royal Garden Plaza - Ripley's Believe it or not.

@forcebwithu What time did you visit?

From this morning's walk.

Welcome back @blue_flag

For years my favorite kebab stand has been Ket's with two locations on Soi Diana. I've stuck with them through price increases as they've been relatively small at 10B increases every year or two. Last year the price increase was to 70B, but a few months later they bumped it to 80B. No problem as I'm aware food prices have increased quite a bit since the end of the pandemic. However I was quite surprised the other night to see they've bumped the price again to 100B, a 20B increase. When measured against the 70B price a year ago, that's a 42% increase! Based on my photo survey of the o

Riding by the new Nirun food market this morning it occurred to me there's still no thought given to wheelchair access on new construction. Then I got to the other side and saw they've thoughtfully provided motorbike access.

You can check your current limit and usage by selecting My Attachments under your profile drop down list in the upper right corner. Personally, I always resize to 1600 x 1200 because the pics upload faster, and the files take up less server space. While the cost of disk storage has gone down, it still costs $'s, so I'll help where I can on saving on the storage bill.

WAT CHAIMONGKRON ROYAL MONASTERY.

Big Buddha

This subject reminds me of a story from some years ago. I bought a young guy who is a relative of mine to Pattaya. By day two he had settled in with a gogo dancer who was something special. They just cut themselves off from the world. Shortly before he was due to leave for home he came to see me. He was worried that he had no photos of his trip to share with the family. So I suggested a day trip to Bangkok. Off we went to visit temples, reclining Buddhas, palaces, Chatuchak etc. Everywhere we went I photographed. We had agreed to meet the cab at the Nana hotel and ended up in the plaza via

Wondering if the fat (Chinese??) Buddha is there as a model for the future Thai female Buddha images. The ones of the past are all of slim stature.

He’s still going strong god knows how long he’s has been around.

New jobs. Presume this is AI

It was brought to my attention on another forum the NA/AA signs on the windows of the bar. When I saw the post it jogged my memory that I had heard some time ago there was an AA meeting place on Soi Skaw Beach. Sure enough, that's the location of Nok! Nok! Who's There. If could be it was the single shop house to left of the bar that you saw was for sale as I believe there's still a for sale sign up on the metal shutter. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Skaw+Beach+AA+Meeting+Room/@12.9317935,100.883962,21z/data=!4m10!1m2!2m1!1saa+pattaya!3m6!1s0x310297f188bcd7cf:0xc65c9bfd81a7a

Greetings Monkeywatchers, core coon crap for dropping in, and welcome to another peek at the city of scaremongering without the scare. Let’s rock. Well the ever popular sport of balcony diving has gone into international overdrive in Pattaya with no less than four incidents occurring in the first week of the month. The first one to plummet was a Thai, followed by a Russian, an American and a German, who set a new record with a drop of 33 floors from a 5 star hotel. Well at least they seem to be getting a better class of jumper. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s now been a fifth and

Over time, I have taken quite a few photos of the Ganesha shrine on Soi Buakhao. They show that the surroundings have changed. But the shrine is still there, and it will likely remain for many years to come.

Possibly more for the Brits Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Update 2024 Benjakitti Park is still beautiful and it is still evolving

I'm sure there's a perfectly rational explanation ...

Good question. Like many other I have a dozen or so Lonely Planet books. Since Covid however I think that these are probably useless. Like you, I find so much information on YouTube predates Covid and is also useless. The more reviews here, the better for everyone. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk
