The automobile name, MG, was a blast from the past. Too bad the name is now owned by a Chinese outfit. Was that a Peugeot badge on one of those cars?

Let us hope the weather plays ball....... the late rains this year are a concern. I have yet to see the winds from the North signifying the cool/dry  season arrival.

These are located off Second Road near Royal Garden Plaza.  Does anyone have any idea what the place was originally.  It is in a state of disrepair now.  Remind me of O. level Geography, stalagmites and stalactites.

A long time ago, there was a puppet theatre, cocktail bar, and restaurant there, but I don't know if they were responsible for the the stalagmites and stalactites.

IIRC they had live music as well. I found mention of the place in Pattaya News Flash from back in 2008.

Soi Excite Complex.

Soi Pothole - I like the way this establishment has utilised the nickname of the street.

The first two images, I think are some form of Kite, which I have never seen before around Naklua. They are cropped significantly so not best quality images.
