Much enjoyed as usual......

They would not be true Thai footpaths unless there was something blocking them and forcing people out into the traffic!

Having their toilets taken away!

Jeez, poor soi dogs!

Don't drive in the gutter in town, the baht buses will get you... out of town you need to keep to the left more I have found. As to pedestrian crossings, never trust them, on any road.

A deeper red would be more suitable as the blood stains will not show... beware of using these crossings!

More relating to Expats... but useful to know.... A new Expat food suppliers shop, similar stock as one would find at the 2 Fever locations in Bong Koch area, has opened on Buakhao, North end, near Soi New Plaza, at the prior Churchills Bar location. Get your Yorkshire Tea and mushy peas! https://goo.gl/maps/ZV1AGaQPr3YC9Qey7

We have a group called 'Major Participant' with an enhanced limit, but it is not a Moderator Function to change members ... I have flagged Admin. @frostfire

I thought the forum software automatically reduced upload file sizes if too big.....

I was thinking at the time it was surprising he hit the limit before you!

@frostfire Frosty needs to address this.....

My Mrs said one participant was killed there yesterday.

This is the group of beer bars just before you get to Klang on second heading North.... they actually look more dusty and derelict than the picture suggests. Further South, just a little, on the other side, we see 3 Indian restaurants, side by side, and there are a few more outside the range of the photo.... more prolific than the massage places ever were. There are groups of Indians wandering about too.. as if searching for something rather than being tourists. I seriously believe they hunt for prospective business venues. The face of town will change a lot in the next few years... and wait until the Chinese get here, keen to live elsewhere. ( A house just sold near me to Chinese.. pre Covid they were sniffing all over the place.) And finally, soi Pothole, living up to its name even in the dry season.... more MPs are becoming bars here.. I said this will happen before, and I see other posts thinking along the same lines. Don't worry though, no shortages. MPs have moved onto Buakhao and Klang.... and a well known one had about 8 or 9 staff this afternoon.. where only a few weeks back, there were 2 or 3. Peak season guys....

A few pics of the dreaded Soi 15 between Buakhao and 2nd Rd... via the Avenue. Work appears to have been suspended. There is access but it is a bit tight, one direction at a time for cars and pickups, and it will not do your tyres any favours. This last pic is probably only known to the Expats. There used to be a (Tesco)Lotus supermarket behind Numchai on Sukhumvit... opposite a Fascino there....well not no more. Don't know if it has gone forever.... a nuisance, as I often stopped off there as it is on my way into town from home. Heard a rumour Lotus are not doing so well since they shed the Tesco link.

Good pix, very clear.

Well I deliberately did not say Extension as of course I do that each and every year too, and I know it does not reset. Except last year when an agent took it upon themselves to do my 90 days at the same time. You have been planning to do a trip out to enable yourself to do on-line for a while now..... don't forget a re-entry permit. ?

I believe you would have received a new Permission of Stay at some point there and that it accepted as also a 90 day report.....(resets the clock to 90 days).

Ditto... In fact when they did my new Ext, and they told me they had done my 90 day report too, I said 'what for, not due for a while yet?'

My pet hate was idiots who didn't even bring a pen with them!

Poor Bruce, he is not well and we will see him in movies no more. Looper.

Give it a try... if it works it works. It is very easy. If not, there is a separate desk outside handling them at immigration... where I believe it is pretty easy too.
