Lift it up and get the guy with the grinder back!

On a lighter note, a clip from Hooters on Beach Road:

That bloke sitting near the window doesn't seem to be too impressed with her. Maybe he's watched it 10 times already that day.  Me, I'd eat her 'til her head caved in.

Judging by his taste in shirts, I'd say it was Jacko

I don't mind the girls dancing there, in fact it's great to see their firm tits staying in place but wanting to burst out, but why the hell do they have to turn the music up so bloody loud I'll never know.

Who knows?  Anyway, it doesn't go on for too long. 

The girl in the video is pretty nice.  Usually works during the day.

I haven't been in Hooters since soon after it opened. There is no gray area between eating and full on GGB, Pattaya style for me.  She is a cutie though.

The grinder and jackhammer are back at the Easy R-Con open sewer project.  

My guess is they're digging up the concrete to put in a metal skirt around drain grates.

Wonder if this is the long term solution to the wrong sized covers, hide it behind a barricade.

Another goof in either the height of the cover or depth of the supporting framework.

Larger drains going in on 2nd Rd that will feed into the canal that runs parallel to Soi 16.

The development next to Friendship on Pattaya Tai is becoming less of a mystery!

It consists of 3 buildings - two adjacent to Tai, and a larger one behind those two.

The new sign on the road says "Honey Grand Body Massage" 

but the building at the back has more the look of serviced apartments or a hotel. It has the name of "Acqua Residence".

Looks a bit 'LK-style'....

[jacko 8,822]

Considering the theoretical swing away from the naughty industry, it is perplexing that an obvious example of it, like a body massage venue,  would spring up.... 

And can anyone afford them any more?

I wonder if one of the older ones is due to be flattened?

Today's update on the Easy R-Con open sewer project. Two days ago they ripped up the concrete around the drain grates. Today I see they've poured new concrete and added a bead of sealant in the joint. Puzzled as to why they did this.

And on the other end, more destruction taking place on the framework for the valve compartment covers.

To stop the water going in there....

Perhaps an idea as a shock absorber, because I expect a bit of crumbling when any heavy traffic goes over it.

They do seem to waste a lot of time correcting previous miserable planning!

Had an enjoyable afternoon out at the dragon boat races. This is a selection of the photos I took. All of them can be seen at this link.

[forcebwithu 4,856]

A lot of smiling faces out today. Plenty to do and eat too.

Did you have o pay to get in? There was a rumour farangs would be charged 150 baht (Thais less of course), a first.

I was worried I would have to face the dreaded two tier pricing when I saw all the fencing around the area. As we were walking to the entrance I warned my TGF I wasn't going to put up with any "farang pay more" nonsense, and if they wouldn't except my Thai DL for the Thair price I would be doing a quick about face. As it turned out there was no entrance fee and it looked like the fencing, and razor wire believe it or not, was just to separate the spectator areas from the competitor areas.

This site has a good listing of festivals, although I see it's missing the dragon boat races just held.

You're in luck though with the buffalo races, assuming you're here in Oct.
Chonburi Buffalo Racing Festival: 12th October 2019

After six months of work, twice as long as planned for, the Easy R-Con open sewer project is finally done, at least until the first heavy rain.

Photos of the entire project, beginning with the first photo taken on 28 February can be seen at this link.

[jacko 8,822]

The residents must be ecstatic!

[Butch 3,456]

I've just noticed the concrete already breaking up on the leading edge of the "ramp" in pic #1, plus the uneven cover. As vehicles pass over the uneven cover, the vibration will cause the concrete to crack and...oh well, you get the idea.

Let's have a virtual beer wager, choose a week for the repair works. I reckon it'll be dug up or repaired again during the first week of October.

[halfaboy 31]

Lots of work (for you to keep us informed)....
