My Mrs was complaining our bottled water smelled a bit only last night... we get those 18 liter ones. Heaven knows what shortcuts are taken at the treatment plant. The City water often has a bit of an off smell to it fairly randomly. Perhaps all the recent unseasonal rains do that. In your case the water has been standing a long time and may need time to flush through, all the way from the meter, and a large tank full likely takes more than a few days.

No, it actually induces a bit of a breeze. It is 05.30 now and a pleasant 27 deg C.

I question whether 'strictly prohibited' applies as there is nothing to stop them. Lack of policing of late has made motorcycles using the underpass quite common.

Why not just an hour later and catch the sunrise?

And of course a camera was already rolling to capture the event! The contrast to what will be seen today is stark!

Well in this case he could have avoided being 'stunned and bleeding' had he waited but a few hours for the sun to be up!

Sadly, of late, it sounds like they all will have to!

Well not every driver but pretty much every one using the road where they are set up. Some years ago my Mrs would pick me up after I had been out, and she was very frequently stopped. A few words with the policeman and they let her go, but many others were being asked to blow into the bag.... In the last couple of years it is as if the traffic police have just given up, and one can see the deterioration.

Not a particularly frequent service notwithstanding the distance away.

The air may well be cleaner than Bangkok, but it is pretty polluted in Pattaya town these days and getting worse. Good luck.

In Pattaya..... an optimist!

He is about to experience a surge in popularity in Bo Win!

Absolutely.... Homepro make a killing!

I had to take her round the market stalls until we found something for her to wear..... then while she did the temple but I took the opportunity to watch the crime scene!😁

Don't blame me for your lack of comprehension and what is written in paragraph 1. Go troll elsewhere!

Ah well, nearly over. I can have a shave and emerge blinking into the sunlight soon myself!

It is a an UNESCO ‘intangible cultural heritage', a haughty reference for what I mostly see as a collection of infantile drunks chucking water about with sporadic fights breaking out!

Having the mirrors removed, exhaust punctured, light bulbs removed and some pink chromed bits fitted?

If it is making Thailand cooler in April, and the UK sunnier and warmer in Spring, I am all for it!

Had that happen at a temple festival a while back. I decided to play Sherlock as other people also lost shoes and we uncovered a crazy lady hidden away in a den like area, surrounded by footwear!

So he took a walk down soi 6, in Songkran???????

Yes, odd how such action gets commendation here, when it would be so badly regarded in the West!

You can take the tart out of Pattaya.... but not the Pattaya out of the tart!

No they do not ALL work for the Nightwish group. I believe they employ their own, then there is another outfit of security people other bars employ. It was supposed to be looked at after the last incidence of drunken aggressive Brits getting kicked in the head on the Six. That past incident was proven to be nothing to do with Nightwish security. Anyhow, comes with the territory, the security get a salary and a bonus of an idiot falang to kick on a weekly basis!

I used to go there pretty frequently but since T21 added to the traffic, less so. Thanks for replying.
