Thanks for posting Mr Flag.

I feel particularly honoured that you have chosen to place my statue in pole position in the first pic !!

Egrets at Naklua.

WS with overhead signs removed.

XS Gogo is getting a new sign.

Annoys me to no end the selfish pricks that block the footpath with their parked vehicles.

It has been very hot during the past few afternoons.  There were all taken from the multi-storey car park of Terminal 21.  Hopefully this will give a perspective to those who do not get up to this end of Pattaya.

From this morning's walk.  Beach Road, Signless Walking Street and the former Secrets premises up to let.

After an unpleasant encounter with a Chinese couple at Bali Hai a group of us had a great day out yesterday drinking and swimming while anchored off the Ko Sak beach, the small island just north of Ko Lan. Paying the price today with a nice shade of red on my face and upper body.

No sign,s walking street is just another nasty soi in daylight.

You've slipped in a bit of Tractor Porn in there too to get the heart beating a little faster for us Dorset country boys that were brought up on the smell of paraffin tractors and cow sheds ... happy days !!

Sanctuary of Truth.  Admission is 500 baht.  Quite busy this afternoon.  They do try to get visitors to stay in groups (50 in our case).  I managed to get lost from the group and did my own thing taking photographs.  Quite a lot to get through.

A different route for the walk this morning.  Not the most inspiring set of photographs.

Old b&w tv probably worth money now!

Morning walk along Naklua Road and Beach Road.

Some Cocoanut tree felling.

I never really look at motor cycles on the roads in UK but over here I find lots of them that are not run of the mill.

I know I have said this before... and I know somebody said that it has something to do with the lens ..... but I'll say it again...The Waterfront Condo building seems to be tilting if you compare it to the buildings surrounding it....

It has something to do with the lens .... There, I thought I'd get it in quick before somebody else does !!

You have got me thinking @Bullfrog.  This one taken from Beach Road and grid lines shown on it.

This walking back from the Lighthouse towards Walking Street.

Did fair bit of post processing.

What went wrong at Hooters?  Whilst it was never full to capacity, whenever I passed during opening hours there were always customers there; many perhaps just drinking and 'people watching' on Beach Road.

I expect rents are pretty steep on Beach Rd, so probably not enough customers to cover operating costs.
