Can't be sure but usually the Beach Road gets closed in it's entirety. You get a few vehicles passing through. Should be different this year with plenty space on the beach, it is 20-30m wider than last year. Last year was awful in that half of it from Klang North was closed off, for the reclamation work, plus the Beach was badly littered. Only concern this year is that it has been pretty hot in town. When I was out recently I don't think it got below 33 DegC all night. I also hope the no drinking on the Beach rule will be waved as I usually take a small cold box, mat and along come a few of her friends, of course with food and it is quite good fun. I will get into town mid afternoon, check into a hotel, visit a seafood restaurant, then a couple of beer bars and then onto the Beach. Usually have to walk everywhere. Oh, just remembered another issue, finding a toilet.

Not so straightforward I am betting. I will take a look on North Rd and see what got left behind. I still use coax internet into my place, although they ran fibre now. Cancelled my phone landline, never used it and it went dead. TOT said they have switched people to the fibre optic network. In some central locations it looks like there are hundreds of cables up there, surely they don't have much need for more than a few dozen. Money in that scrap cable!

Angelina Jolie.

As I said, because you asked, 90% of those cables can simply be taken down. I don't think we have any BMs who work at City Hall. I will see if I can see exactly what they are doing next time I am near the job. Better still, take a look on Nua, that was done just under a year ago. I seem to recall all those cables were still there just moved closer to the buildings.

Most of those cables are redundant. They always have simply run new cables and left the old ones. I haven't stood and watched them work, but expect many go to the scrap yard. Are they leaving them up there? I would expect TV and Internet cables to have separate conduits underground. Problem is many of these need mains powered boosters. The 'future' is in 5G where all that stuff can be sent around on 20 GHz (SHF) from tower type networks like the current mobile phones.

What with the ever possible 'have you done a TM30' question the reduced visits to immigration may be a good idea.

I used to feel the same but I no longer make the 2 UK trips a year plus maybe another elsewhere so I figured the waste of 2800 baht covered me. Unlikely I will need to make a trip at short notice these days and I can always get one at the airport.

Seems a little extravagant, 3800 baht v 2000 baht?

I was thinking as it is an all England affair it should be moved to Wembley, bloody Madrid!

Thanks for posting, I took a pic or two last night there but no need to use them now. That job looks like it will go on forever! Bad for all the businesses around there! The Beach end of Klang is half closed and this was causing traffic back-up on Klang and the 2nd junction. There was some other work, which I think was either cable burying, or drain cleaning, who the hell knows these days. That was opposite soi 7 off 2nd, behind the Memorial Hospital.

UK Politics has taken Sterling back down!

Well it was some years back and I learned my lesson. I have lived here some years now and I am not a member of the 'lovely Thais club'. At the airport, and around Pattaya I would say they are a collection of scrounger and scammers. I guess my opinion is swayed living in the Pattaya area, and by the fact we are their favourite customers! They seem much nicer in the rural areas.

Well I obviously got to it before you deleted the link. Harrowing and I am quite sure some would object to it. I would not like to re-post it myself.

Well I hope the clips are all from the same event (rather than a scaremongering compilation) in which case I have no issues with it! The reality of what happened to these innocent people needs to be seen.

This 'State of Denmark' situation keeps dropping little worrying tales , reminds me of the VW emissions fixing scam, except that didn't kill people. Boeing knew of 737 MAX safety system glitch year before deadly crash. Washington (AFP) - Boeing engineers identified a fault with a pilot warning system on its 737 MAX aircraft in 2017, a year before the deadly Lion Air crash, the company said Sunday. Faulty angle of attack indicator information may have played a role in both of the deadly crashes, causing the 737 MAX anti-stall system to unnecessarily activate and push the nose down toward the ground even as pilots fought to maintain altitude. "In 2017, within several months after beginning 737 MAX deliveries, engineers at Boeing identified that the 737 MAX display system software did not correctly meet the AOA Disagree alert requirements," the aircraft manufacturer said in a statement. "The software delivered to Boeing linked the AOA Disagree alert to the AOA indicator, which is an optional feature," it said. "Accordingly, the software activated the AOA Disagree alert only if an airline opted for the AOA indicator." Source.

Not the PL but WOW, impressive Liverpool!

Some month back I was horrified as I finished my shower to notice half my dick had turned black. My face drained, Adrenalin hit my system as I fretted wondering 'what the fuck have I caught now! After calming down and having a look it appeared to be a bruise, and indeed it faded and vanished over the next few days. I still don't know exactly what caused it, an enthusiastic BJ, a zipper accident (unlikely, you know when you do that). It surely hadn't been there long and I just concluded I made a clumsy dive into my pool, or sat down heavily on the shitter and forgotten catching it. It's back to it's regular yellow and green now.

Yes, closed to traffic today.

Yeah those kangaroos are locally sourced.

Standard for the beach actually.

No alcohol and no smoking allowed!

I was working there and one of the locals guys seemed to think it fun to bring me some fried alligator at lunchtime, me being 'foreign'.

No, I believe you are correct and it was alligator.

This afternoon. Don't ask me why it says Wednesday!

I agree with Bazle, it looks far from appetizing there, actually it looks disgusting. Tried croc in La. I feel the same way with respect to eating bugs. Plenty of alternatives and I like to exist higher up the food chain (although a croc is well up there). What is next, freshly carved soi dog on 2nd Rd served on a baguette with BBQ sauce. That should get the morons out with their camera phones!
