IIRC, a news report about the, then new vegetable farm on Soi Full Love Inn reported a taxi driver started the farm to earn money during the pandemic. From the continued expansion of the farm I'd say he's done quite well. Good on him.

Pics of Honour Organic Farm as it looks today.

The guy that started the Organic Farm has done well for himself.

Ongoing development of the vacant land next to Nirun.

Some swank looking new bathrooms next to the new food place.

What a difference a day makes in terms of visibility.

I got one copy of the final paper edition....

I was having a look at Google Earth satellite image history to see how much Pattaya has developed over the last couple of decades and noticed what looked to be an irrigated field behind Nirun. Something I hadn't noticed before. Curious what they were growing back there I decided to have a look this morning.

The entrance is off of Aurontai 4.

Looks like they're growing bamboo trees.

Whatever kind of tree it is, the geese appreciate the shade.

Vacant, unused land behind Max Muay Thai that looks like the owner is going for the agricultural use tax discount.

Yamaha Moped Exhibition outside Terminal 21.

Good clear visibility this afternoon.

I have seen this vehicle around Pattaya before;  I do not know whether it is actually used as a taxi.  It does not have yellow registration plates, which I accept is not conclusive.

Bachelor's agogo in Soi LK was having work done on it as I walked by a little earlier:

If the state of the mattresses is anything to go by, it is long overdue!

Yeuch......

This boat/ship has appeared in the bay at a location roughly between Soi 6 and Central Festival.  I am assuming it is being used to launch fireworks over the period 29th December 2023 to 1st January 2024.  It could also be being used to fly illuminated drones.  I can not find any information.

If anyone knows the answer and what time the fireworks/drones are taking place I would be grateful.

Thanks.

Have you seen that old Citroen (from the 1940s or '50s) recently?

If you mean the one I believe owned by a tattoo place, then not recently.

I think if you check your photo archives for past events with fireworks you'll see the same barges used to launch them.

Someone should teach city govt how to use Google Translate. If they had used GT it would have produced something that made sense in English.

The Thai script translated by GT.

"Do not light fireworks and release fireworks or sky lanterns.

 

 Violators are punishable by imprisonment not exceeding 3 years and a fine not exceeding 60,000 baht."
