Well here is the infamous soi 15, Bua Khao end, pretty much impassable.. but very busy working there this morning, a Sunday, so looks like they are at least getting on with it. Let us hope that lasts.. or doesn't, just get it over with.

The back hoes are at it behind this truck... didn't dare try to get there... maybe ok from piss alley.

 

And the exchange rates.

Maybe not everyone's 'cup of tea' but some decent painters and paintings here in Pattaya.

Cool thanks thought I had been there but couldn't remember where. In past 20 years with Thai wife have visited many many temples

It's renovation season again.. when bar owners who perhaps have more money than sense, throw good money after bad. The temptation of a good high and peak season is irresistible. Let  us wish them well.......

 

Pulse under the tools, looks to be a serious one. Always hit and miss in this place, but I had some  fun on a few occasions.  I was thinking one of the two  bikes out front was maybe belonging to my pal keyman ....is he in town and investing?

 

Fever A-Go-Go....  will join a couple of other new places in LK Metro.. ie LK Angels and Las Vegas. There is optimism in the area.

 

Pandoras is disturbing the street today... hammers and chisels going at it... perhaps getting some chewing gum off the furnishings, or something like that.

 

Champagne Club too.....

Yep, the blue one on the right is for my 'stealth' visits!! 😆

Investing in Pattaya? It took me long enough to save up for that bike!! 😬

Took a few photos there as well. Looked up the details a while ago:

Finlayson's Squirrel Thailand

Description:

Seen throughout SE Asia, Finlayson's squirrel or the variable squirrel (Callosciurus finlaysonii,) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. Colours can vary dramitically from solid black through to the lighter shades in this photo. It is found in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.
