The outside balcony at Royal Gardens Plaza is open with a bar and a couple of restaurants/cafes having access. There are also some public table tennis tables, if anyone is interested.

l took this with a 300 ml lens from quite a distance. I thought very carefully about posting it: the group are so chaotic and disorganised that I thought it was worth posting.

Prep for the next concert and a selection from today's morning walk.

Bob walked into a sports bar around 5:58 PM. He sat down next to a very attractive blonde at the bar and stared up at the TV. The 6 PM news was coming on. The news crew was covering the story of a man on the ledge of a large building preparing to jump. The blonde looked at Bob and said, "Do you think he'll jump?" Bob said, "You know, I reckon he'll jump." The blonde replied, "Well, I bet he won't." Bob placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, "You're on!" The blonde placed her money on the bar, and kept watching the scene on the tell

A visit to Naklua Bay and Sea Food Market this morning.

A selection from this morning's walk.

In the last five weeks I will admit that I slipped twice from my "No crap food" regime. Mixue opposite Soi Honey. The biggest tastiest ice creams that leave McCrap in the shade. Monster soft serve ice cream 15 baht! Then there is the donut lady outside JUJU. Two jam or custard for 20 baht. Served up in a poly carrier and plastic outer. Great taste and super value compared to the other rubbish. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Got some good drone video of yesterday's H3 run. I'm trusting more and more the awesomeness of the drone's collision avoidance system and its ability to range far and wide and still come home to papa when called.

I love the group of people in the centre of the last group of photos. A group of authentic Pattaya residents in their diverse glory.

Flying over Thailand. The birds with my photographs however the backgrounds were AI generated.

I'm thinking the structure they're building at the pump house will be used for removing and reinstalling pumps for maintenance. Probably took a fair bit of work and time to put up this bamboo scaffolding.

I finally got the last of my drone registration docs yesterday. The insurance policy came back quick enough. Had that on the 4th, only five business days after I submitted all the requested docs and photos. For the NBTC registration they used the account I created to submit the application, so I could login and track when that was done. Even though the insurance was completed on the 4th, they didn't submit the NBTC application until the 9th. No idea why the delay, but it was only submitted after a couple of emails to the agent asking when they were going to complete that step. Once s

at least 6 extra things in the USA. What I can't work out is why anyone would want to eat McDonald's when there is so much amazing real food everywhere

If you're on two wheels, keep an eye out on Soi 15 for the major cracks and holes in the concrete that was put down only a few months ago. I'm not so sure this guy's idea of a safety feature for his bike is a good idea. I understand he probably thinks its a good warning device for passing traffic to steer clear of him, but he's also increasing the chance a passing vehicle will hit him via the pole sticking out into their lane.
