I bet there are still a few Christmas trees still to be taken down!

The rain was pretty local, I heard heavy in Khao Talo area, but North of town at my place it was a bit of nothing. It is always low visibility in the mornings where I am, and I can feel the pollution in the air from sunrise to mid morning. Got a few fields nearby so I believe the stuff coming over from Cambodia gets supplemented by nearby fires.

Katharine Hepburn

Jane Fonda

I ride through there once or so a week and am really quite puzzled as to what and why all this is going on.

Yes, they cannot be wrong and want to get their money. One suspects that they only do business with agents, if you deal directly, you will get the run around. I hear tourists, on 30 day exempt, can only get an extension on the last day of their permission.......why would they require that? Avoid attending at all costs, one day it could be a meltdown.

The Wolf of Wall Street.

Yeuch......

Must be working wonders on traffic there.......I presume the soi Diana entrance is the only way in and out.

Sleepless in Seattle

The way trees get cut back here it is surprising they need any space to grow, Anybody see what the butchers have done to the trees on soi 5, Jomtien, on the way to immigration. They robbed people of shade and birds of a perch!

Top Gun

They need to get a few neighboring countries to come along too, particularly for the situation in the North. As mentioned earlier, I thought living on the coast gave us a better chance here in Patts, but not the case. Traffic is heavy where I normally am, North of town, but recently I was on the other side doing Extension/Visa stuff and realized, there, they have quite an issue too.

Die Hard

I got one copy of the final paper edition....

LOL..... one often feels like knocking on the head and asking if anyone is home.....oh well, look on the bright side, it will deter cyclists and motorcyclists, but poor old mobility scooters!

The quite poor,, Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves.

I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt that they just don't realize their behavior impacts and disturbs those around them....BUT... they likely would resent you complaining and then they would do it for a reason!

Yeah, I feel it in my eyes....you would think being on the coast we would be better off. I am not far from where Hwy 36 and Sukhumvit meet, a lot of HGV traffic.... I might be healthier in town. Mrs would like me to move out to Nakhon Nowhere...... Yesterday I was looking out over the houses in front of me at the smoke rising into the sky..... I believe there is a contractor over there building houses, with labourers living is shacks. Every morning, I expect they burn their rubbish.....

The Abyss.

Anybody make it to the fireworks last night? Wow it was crowded, despite there being a vast expanse of new, reclaimed beach, they filled it. I got a deck chair, by far a more comfortable option, and better than getting squeezed from your spot by an ever increasing group of Russians! More of the same tonight, with bigger crowds I expect. I had a pretty slow, painful drive in and I went early to my hotel. Was at the North end in front of the Holiday Inn, and that hotel, kudos to them, opened up their basement toilets for free use... now that is unusual here. My beers made them a blessing to

Groundhog Day

Well it suggests a state of completion although they are of little meaning here.

I was thinking what a mess only the other day... Second Rd is still crawling traffic most of the day near 13/2 and Northwards. All of this as probably the biggest town filling event outside Songkran is scheduled for Friday and Saturday nights, The International Fireworks Competition. Usually a lot of locals try to drive into town and park in the City those nights, and nothing will deter them. I always hope things will be okay on the night,
