Billions

Speaking of shopping malls, did that curvy building on Beach Road just north of Soi 6 ever open its doors? Plenty of money poured into that one. And the huge building site where New York club used to be just off Walking Street....that was rumoured to be a giant mall financed by an Egyptian. Not forgetting the enormous build where Big C was/is which will resurrect as a gigantic Terminal 21. None of these necessary but maybe if a new breed of tourist finally arrives then they will prove popular?

There's no limit. Fill yer boots! I usually manage two plates but have to decline much of the available selection as the choice is vast.

Thanks! One day I'll stop hauling a camera bag around and just use a pocket version....will have the obvious weight and discretion advantages,but I'm still healthy enough to carry a body and two or three lenses on my travels,so that day is coming,but still in the future.

Thanks for the nice comments. I had forgotten to reload the thread with more images,so here goes. All processed/over-processed or manipulated to greater or lesser extents.

I always return to the UK with a hacking cough after holidays in Pattaya (but not from Bangkok strangely).I assume it is because Pattaya air quality is dire and hotel and restaurant AC systems are filthy. From my last trip I needed three months to conquer the latest respiratory problem and am now fortunately healthy again but the long recovery and reports of scorching temperature in Thailand led me to cancel my next trip which was planned for next week.I don't want another infection so soon after shaking off the last one. Regarding hotel AC units,how easy is it to remove the filthy parts a

Ashley used to work for Matrix...developers criticised by Andrew Drummond in his recent overview of Pattaya real estate and I remember a huge thread on PA complaining of their work in regards the Art On The Hill project. Not a great pedigree there.

I read elsewhere that the chef/founder/co-owner has packed his bags and will set up a new restaurant elsewhere in the Hood.....nothing particularly earth-shattering I know. Anyone ITK confirm changes afoot (or not,as the case may be?).

OK...think I found it..... Just past the chicane at R-Con bend,after the flurry of barber shops. The "on the south side of the Buakhao" confused me a bit....

Hitler had a dog called Blondi..... I can't remember seeing a Tesco on Baukhao.Any other landmarks nearby (hospital? Action Street? Market? Bar complex where Rehab was?)

Is this restaurant owned by Bryan of Pattaya Addicts fame? And is the Bite Me Bistro also under his control too?

Excelente!

Yep,that's the one The Eggman mentions in post #9 above. Tried him too.....couldn't help with my key but sent me to another cutter on the same street (other side of the road and behind Tukcom).....who couldn't help either. Not easy getting keys cut in Pattaya. And even when they do have a go,half the time the new key doesn't work anyway. I'll post my findings later when time permits.

I think it's called Tinnies. A tinny in Australian is a can of beer.How that relates to pies I don't know.
