Pictures from around Pattaya

What I thought was going to be a music stage I was told today will be a new market for the Soi Xcite grounds.

Marking and digging out fence post holes for whatever is getting built next to Pirates on Soi Full Love Inn.

A few shots of the ongoing work at the Edge.

There appears to be money to spend on big projects in Pattaya and a lot of optimism for the future.

Yup ... better cash in the bank than collecting dust in the cupboard under the sink...... I don't really care if it is giving some people a job ...

All I seem to do is read articles lately. I read an interesting one on Bloomberg last week about Thailand's property developer's. 

A few of the major developers are struggling to raise money. They only managed to sell half the the corporate bonds they offered. From memory they sold them in baht and most investors want then in dollars. 

The knock on effect from the failed bond selling is that they have to go to the banks and pay higher interest payments.

I am by no means an expert in corporate finance or the property development but I would be very worried if I had but down a payment for a property that as not been completed.

The Tues/Fri Buakhao market is back.

Quite the selection of colors at the Soi Xzyte car rental place.

Perhaps a foreshadow.

In no particular order, random shots from around Pattaya from late this morning before the dark clouds moved in.

Odd they have a mini-bridge a few meters from its big brother.

Pics of some of the construction and destruction projects around Pattaya.

Watched these guys climbing from one balcony to the next. Happy when they succeeded as I didn't want the job of first responder.

Crane activity at the Buakhao Soi 15 construction site.

I was there around 08:30 when an unladen low loader pulled up outside. By the looks of your photos it didn't take much away...!!

A few shots of the new Soi Xzyte market progress.

And a shot of The Edge from Soi Xzyte.

One positive of the recent WS electrical fire is they've removed most of the rats nest of wires.

New Akara hotel going up on Nakula Soi 31.

Noticed the entrance to WS was blocked today, so had a peak at what was going on.

The rumour I have heard is, its a Car Service Centre.

Is there any updated pictures of the beer garden i read in a Thai newspaper the mayor has reclaimed the land and they are knocking it down to replace with a tram station /stop  which would be a shame as i have spent many a happy night in there 

I spoke to one of the girls who works at PBG this morning, and she said they have started working on the bar today in anticipation of opening soon.

The 15th of June is the date that many bars seem to think they will be able to open from.

So quiet and social distancing in Big-CX.

 

I believe this used to be an 'Erotic Massage' place on Soi Buakhao, perhaps recently mentioned by @tallguy

it is no more. Also Nemo's on Buakhao still shut, didn't think to check the one on Soi Diana. Nearby traditional places open.

The rate on the street today, a TT Exchange is open!

 

Hellfire crossing, with many fewer casualties these days.

 

Soi Pothole looking quiet to the East......

 

And the West....

A few minutes earlier I was told 'no customer, no have money, hungry......'

 

Not sure if I covered this with my  tip.......

I would have got more pics but rain drove me to the Mall.

Looks like the chances of opening on the 15th have been scuppered.

Maintenance work still ongoing at PBG
