    Tongue in cheek comment, or you somehow know this? The apparently casual way people get employed here makes that surprising.

    Well it is over, and if anything it has been bloody good for business.

    Hell no, stupid idea marching around covered with sweat bands like a nut job..... I remember going to the park with a USA girlfriend once and she wanted to stomp around with all this gear on.... I suggested, 'Can't you folks just go for a walk!'

    Relatively speaking.... it has been some years I agree. Again I was thinking the same yesterday looking at the number on motorcycles not bothering with a helmet... on Klang. Used to be helmets were at least worn in the City , often donned as they turned in off Sukhumvit. A guy whizzed past me on a one wheeled thing, like a Segway only smaller.. he at least had a helmet on! Nobody gives a xxxx!

    Water smells weird

    jacko45k replied to JB300's topic in Pattaya

    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???????
