Not much progress on WS which is not surprising since most of the workforce is huddled up in the shade.

They're working on compacting the vacant land next to Nirun. Be interesting to see what kind of buildings they plant on the land.

I was on Walking Street last week, had a good time.  Doorman wouldn't let me into Pinup at 7:55 so I went over to XS for a beer, when I came back at 8:30 I was lucky to get a table in the back.  The b

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 taki

Perhaps another huge block of their luxury condos!

An oops moment near where I live....

The culprit who finds it rather amusing....

The beach gets a lot of stick, but looks good to me. Far too hot to sit out there though today. Speedboats bringing Indian tourists from Koh Larn to be seen.

And how many years did it take Carrefour/Big-CX to come up with this brainwave for the Express aisle? Only the women with handbags and men with purses to grumble under ones breath at now? (Some will ignore it and the staff will not say anything for sure!)

Nice report again - thanks.

What days and what time is the sea food market in Naklua?

The one near the beach is open every day, starting early and I believe into the evening.

The vacant land next to Pirates on Soi Full Love Inn was fenced in about a month ago and is now being used as a garden.

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.

Thanks - but at what time is the sea food brought to the market by the fishermen?
In a tropical climate I would prefer to buy it as early as possible.

I can only say my Mrs usually goes early (7am), but I was told stuff is brought in through the day and already on ice.

Thanks - will get up there when visiting next. Maybe even as early as your Mrs.

Would appreciate feedback as I worry I confuse 2 Naklua markets the Mrs uses. She often loads a cold-box early for a trip back to Issarn and BBQ that evening.

Where the heck has my Bank Branch gone... Bangkok Bank upstairs in Big-CX. Nice if they put a sign up to say relocated/shut/remodeling or whatever.

Two months ago there was a crash at the Sukhumvit entrance to Hwy 7. Luckily the 10 occupants of the SUV walked away with only minor injuries due to the crash barrier absorbing most of the energy of the impact. Just shameful that as of this morning the Highway Dept still hasn't replaced that barrier.

I was stopped at the WS lights looking at the roadworks pondering if this puddle was a hint of things to come or if I was just being a bit pessimistic about all the drainage improvements and everything will be just great when it’s done.

Noticed this hole the other night while riding by. No streetlights in the area, and no barriers to keep the unwary from falling in. An accident waiting to happen.

The area is just past the Full Love Inn strip of GC's and across from Nirun.

I joked what was a football pitch across from M Club might be parking for the Chinese tour buses. Turns out I was kind of right, but the parking is for a more upscale clientele, overflow parking for the new Arbor Hotel on 3rd Rd.

WS paving update.
P7060011.JPG

No more footpaths on WS, which is just as well since the electric junction boxes and utility poles rendered them useless as footpaths.

Bars along Soi 16, opposite Raas Disco have been razed.

Soi 15 roadworks update. Still open for for four wheel traffic to Grand Avenue, two wheel and those on foot can still run the construction obstacle course on the left side to get through to The Avenue and Soi Piss Alley.
P7060031.JPG

Think the massage shops have given up opening until the construction is finished.

The south end of Soi Buakhao is blocked while they work on burying the overhead lines.

Just past the WS entrance I came upon this sight. Not easy to see in the pic, but the guy was using an acetylene torch to remove a sign under all those wires. What could possibly go wrong...

Not to worry though, he had a bottle of water to put out any errant flames.
