WTTB. Once you decide on where you're going to live, ask the housing manager for maid suggestions. As this is not an uncommon request, chances are good they'll have a few recommendations.

No idea what these two were fishing around for. The shutoff valve maybe?

I call BS on this. If it were a mass sickout by ATC it would affect more than one airline. I really wish people would do at least a rudimentary search when an article like the one the OP quoted relies on twatter posts for their news reporting. A simple search comes up with multiple news articles about Southwest canceling flights for dubious reasons. One such article... Southwest Cancels More Than 1,000 Flights—Pilots Say It’s Not A Protest Over Covid Vaccine Mandate

Rainfall has been good this year. First time in quite a few years the cumulative total is tracking the average. source: http://www.pattayaweather.net/ I also see a website I bookmarked years earlier has been updated to show almost real time reservoir levels. For Mabprachan it's now at 103%. source: http://www.thaiwater.net/water

My 2nd AZ jab is scheduled for three months after the 1st.

Pretty sad when you need a cop to direct traffic at a roundabout. Beach chair vendors had to resort to building sand ramps over the abandoned tree and footpath destruction project. Surprised the storm damage from the 8th hasn't been repaired yet at this spot. Nearby they're harvesting sand from the beach exposed by low tide.

A flyover makes much more sense. So much so I wonder why a tunnel is even part of the proposal.

Ongoing work at the Soi Xzyte Market. Wonder if the market they're going to after are the Chinese tour groups.

The idea of continuing the underpass, or overpass, to Thepprasit is alive once again. Pattaya locals object to planned Sukhumvit-South roads tunnel Best quote from the article... "Residents claimed, without evidence, that the underground tunnel would flood. The same fears were raised initially about the Central Road tunnel but it has never flooded." Unlike the Klang intersection, where the underpass was built on a high point, the Pattaya Tai to Thepprasit north end entrance/exit is at a low point on Sukhumvit. They've worked unsuccessfully for years to resolve the flooding at that low point. If they can't fix the flooding problem there, what hope do they have of keeping a tunnel dry.

I don't believe there is a cost effective solution to handling the amount of rain dumped by a tropical storm. Best they can hope for is to drain the flood waters as quickly as possible. That seems to have been accomplished in most of the areas where the flood waters used to linger for close to a day. Now the flood waters are gone within the space of a couple of hours.

Looks like the Tue/Fri Buakhao Market move to the opposite side of the soi wasn't such a good idea after all. They traded the high ground... For this...

A few boats looked like they had broke their moorings and washed ashore.

Quite a bit more damage on the beach after last night's storm compared to a the storm damage from a week and a half ago. This time the damage was along the entire length of the beach. Somebody finally got smart and lined a channel to keep more of the beach from washing away. Something they should have done from the very beginning. All they need now to make this a workable solution is build a foot bridge across the channel.

Very short notice, but just saw this posted on PN FB page.

Mabprachan Reservoir is looking in better shape compared to anytime in the last couple of years. Ongoing work on the park extension.

Reservoir update time. First up is Huai Chak Nok Reservoir. Anybody up for a game of golf. The greens sure look in rough shape. Last update they were digging out this area.

Died of boredom? No activity to see in LK Metro now.

The dogs were barking up a storm this morning at an early morning visitor on my neighbor's roof. First time in 10 years I've seen a monkey in the neighborhood.

The sand is still there, along with a concrete barrier wall that should make for a good tripping hazard.

Pleasant day on the beach. Good to see people enjoying themselves again.

Road barricades, construction security fencing along the beach, and heavy equipment all gone.

Just got back from my morning ride and was going to post the Tue/Fri market on Buakhao is now empty land. Good thing I had a look on another forum first as there was a post with pictures of it having moved to the other side of the road. I was so focused on the empty land, never thought to look across the road.

Crazy the stuff Thai hear, believe and repeat to others as gospel truth.

Don't even have the option of walking in the gutter with all the bikes and cars parked up. Only way to do it is share a lane with traffic. Amazes me the number of pedestrians that having to share a lane with traffic will walk on the side in the same direction as traffic. And don't get me started on the doofuses that walk hand and hand with their teelack with their back to traffic. They're just inviting a bad day.

A shot of this evening's activity around Tree Town. There's a good amount of foot and vehicle traffic, but without the usual crowd sitting and drinking on the footpath along Buakhao. What I find irritating is once again the vendors have taken over 90% of the footpath causing most to walk in the street. IMHO that's going to become a bigger problem once the bars are allowed to open and the crowds return.
