Today's construction zone update

Son is a Civil Engineer visiting in Nov. Told him we may talk a walk down there for his opinion. "No Dad we will not".

When I landed at Swampy on this trip wandered down to the basement level to see if the FX booths down there were open Good news - they are open. Upstairs at arrivals was 39.95 to 1GBP, down there it was at 42.95!!!

Thanks for these, never watched him before. He talks a lot of sense and I like the way he pokes fun at both sides of politics

Started watching this series. If you're into sci-fi it's not bad.

An atheist was seated next to a dusty old cowboy on an airplane, and he turned to him and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.” The old cowboy, who had just started to read his book, replied to the total stranger, “What would you want to talk about?” “Oh, I don’t know,” said the atheist. “How about why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?” as he smiled smugly. “Okay,” he said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first

I took a walk on the beach under the buildings on the west side of Walking Street. Start from Pattaya Beer Garden and finish just before Bali Hai Pier. The walk took 25 minutes.

I have heard of other people doing this so maybe more widespread than you think. On the downside there are many exchange booths that closed during Covid so maybe less competition will affect the willingness of booth operators to do a deal.

Where the heck has my Bank Branch gone... Bangkok Bank upstairs in Big-CX. Nice if they put a sign up to say relocated/shut/remodeling or whatever.

I can only say my Mrs usually goes early (7am), but I was told stuff is brought in through the day and already on ice.

IIRC, a news report about the, then new vegetable farm on Soi Full Love Inn reported a taxi driver started the farm to earn money during the pandemic. From the continued expansion of the farm I'd say he's done quite well. Good on him. Pics of Honour Organic Farm as it looks today.

The one near the beach is open every day, starting early and I believe into the evening.

For my morning ride I headed out to the Naklua Market, a fresh seafood lovers paradise. Next stop was to check on the WS paving work. Progress still moving at a glacial pace with paving up to Soi 14. And prep work just past Soi LePub. Over on Buakhao Soi 15, Soi Piss Alley is only accessible if you're on two wheels or feet.

Surprised you didn't trip over any bodies. 😀

Very interesting perspective of WS! You're a brave guy to walk under there.
