Rather a lot of this Malaysian Registered Merc.  As far as I could ascertain, there was a video crew filming a promotion for the classic motor show to be held this weekend.  I could be wrong, however as the gent I spoke to did speak some English, however I am not quite sure he understood exactly what I was asking him.  

It is not Beach Road any more it is Ocean Drive.

That old merc taxi has been sitting outside the barber shop for ages in Jomtein.

I was surprised to see a tour bus pull into Tree Town last night. In hindsight I should have followed it in to see where it intended to disgorge it's full load of tourists.

Coincidently I had been sitting earlier at Nikom with friends and had commented about the lack of tour buses trying to make their way through Khaos Korner. Pre-Covid it was a regular sight.

I often see it parked outside the above restaurant.

I don't know what was going on yesterday but traffic was horrendous, early morning from Soi Siam CC all the way in, and early afternoon second Rd was heavy, but surprisingly Bua Khao not so. The road works at 3rd and Klang are no fun too. I know Chinese New Year has not done yet but I didn't think that was it.

From what I've seen, traffic on Soi SCC and Khao Noi is backed up early morning heading in, and late afternoons heading out as people make their way to and from work I would guess.

The link above relates to the show at the Asia Hotel Grounds, Pratumnak, yesterday afternoon.  The cars had a parade this morning from the hotel grounds into Pattaya, along Second Road to the Dolphin Circus and then round to and along Beach Road.  These were all taken from the lower end of Terminal 21 grounds which are slightly elevated above the road.  I missed a few in the middle as some regular traffic on the road integrated itself into the parade.

It looks as if you were just round the corner from me, this morning.

Yep, just a bit further down the road towards the beach. I missed the first few as they kind of snuck up on me!!

Great pictures thanks , I helped a friend replace the head gasket on an old Mercedes sedan in your post. He got the car for free since the owner couldn’t afford the dealership repair cost, maybe north of 2k usd back in the 70’s.   We did job for less than 100usd including the socket set.
