Looks like one use of the middle steel structure is support for the lighting at the new market.

Attaching 220v lines to a steel structure, what could possibly go wrong. What's missing is an insulator between the attachment point and the steel support cables.

A good stock of electrical goods at the new, nearby store, including a couple of e-bikes.

The footpath around the Bali Hai area is still used as a parking lot in some spots, making it an obstacle course for pedestrians.

It's a shame there isn't parking nearby. Oh, wait, what's this directly across the road...

There was a news report a week or two ago about the big clean up operation in the Bali Hai marina to get rid of the broken pieces of floating piers and derelict boats. Seems they missed one.

Over on WS the old tree is still hanging in there.

And those temporary, illegal bridges city officials demanded be removed how many years ago...

Soi Buakhao

The neon is looking good – but Walking Street don’t have the same vibe as before

Keep a good health – Jomtien Beach Just before sunset

Phra TamNak 5

There use to be a lot of Family Mart in Pattaya but they are all gone. Many of them are now Tops Daily.

We need a closer shot of that Exchange Booth lass. She might be in the market for a Sponsor.

Sothern part of Second Road just before it hits Third Road.

This picture is from the daytime. But after dark this aria is full of freelancers who offer their service to Arabs (and Indians). The language is English. I heard a lady said: “1000 baht” to an Arab. But I didn’t hear the question he had asked her 😀

Mirror club looks promising, I'm more of a daytime guy so will take a look in 2 weeks. No much about it as there is a Mirror bar at the beach.    Add to the GC thread and I will report there.  Thanks maik

Sounds like you'll miss the next topless killer pool game by a few days. Some nice titty pictures of the last game, which I'm surprised the FB censors didn't catch.

Im back on the 23rd and thinking Mirror may be more of a find than just promising. I haven't played much pool but willing to learn. Is Pool= Snooker or is that a UK thing.

[aj 57]

Please note that there are no usa pool tables in Pattaya. the pockets are slightly smaller and bank angles are different

enough to make big difference on anything but straight in shots.

Don't think he means the one on Beach Road. I don't think they had pool tables. I think there was a sports bar on Third Road that was known to have these larger tables.

[Kev 167]

Yep the one on beach road had an American style table out the back. Gee didn't know it closed but haven't been to Parts since Feb last year, will be back in Nov this year

Canopy covers at the new Nirun market going back up this morning.

Good to see you are still here Butch 🙂

[forcebwithu 4,580]

I wouldn't be stepping into what's left of this shower with bare feet.

[forcebwithu 4,580]

More construction at the Nirun market site. Wonder what these new structures will house.

[forcebwithu 4,580]

On this morning's ride I explored an interesting hidden gem in central Pattaya. It's an undeveloped area off of Pattaya Tai, behind Pattaya City Resort.

From the road the new shops going up on Tai look like nothing special.

But behind the shops is a nice park area around a small lake.

The hidden gem is farther back and on the other side of the lake. There's a dirt road that circles around a large undeveloped area with a lilly filled pond. The area is currently being used to grow various plants. I hope the city sees the value of keeping some green space and that they never plant buildings here instead.

Although smaller, it could become something like the old Bangkok Tobacco Monopoly (Benchakitti Park). It has become a lovely place to walk or cycle around. It is just off the end of Soi 4, Sukhumvit (if you haven't been there).

For those that have gone electric, PEA has charging stations on Tai.

CAT on Tai closer to 3rd Rd has a couple of charging stations as well, but they didn't look to be in working order.

One and a half year ago I took these pictures from the same aria. At that time there was a more open view from South Pattaya Road.

In the past they were seen everywhere in Pattaya.
