Pictures from around Pattaya

[blue_flag 1,303]

For those not here in Pattaya, last night there was a storm with torrential rain falling for around one hour.  I expected more damage to the sand on the beach, but other than a few tracks where water flow had eroded the surface, there was no significant damage.  Water had collected in the newly created parking bay areas.

Having seen the asphalt layer and raised drain grates. makes me wonder if the parking area 

is now the new catch basin/mosquito farm or foot wash for returning island visitors before boarding buses.

see if they finish before destroying it again.

Wat Nong Ao

Have not been there for a good while, which is perhaps good. Located  North of Klang, accessed by an alley off 3rd that faces the Big-CX rear way in IIRC. I was there a few times sadly during my first 10 years here, as I attended quite a few funerals.... I was told back then it was the only Wat with bigger facilities to take care of Westerners.

I like the walk around pictures...but multiple pics of the same Buddha are boring imo.

It isn't the same since they got rid of that little river of raw sewage that one had to skip over down there.

Needed to buy some good quality pens, so planned my bike route this morning to swing by Office Mate on Suk and Tai. Unfortunately I missed the memo the store, along with Baan & Beyond are no more.

I wonder if this sign, all in Thai, was to inform me of the new location.

A very useful app. I had tried it on the sign, but as you can see in Mr. Blue Flag's post it wasn't much use.

Amazing what one sees in Pattaya. We had one of these,
as the family car, when I was a child, without the custom wheels and fender shirts. I just noticed it has right hand drive. Most have been exported directly to Thailand or, perhaps, it belongs to a British ex-pat?
