Assuming the work is completed by October, I wonder what the timeline is to come back and fix all the cockups?

Let's be fair, it does look like well organised chaos.

How will they ever manage to clear a safe Channel for these large Ships through all the Stuff such as Floating Restaurants, jet Skis and para gliders that currently littering the whole bay

Major Incident waiting to happen

 

It will work the same as on the roads - give way to anything bigger and heavier than you, or suffer the consequences.

Cruise Liners will be the Concrete Trucks of Pattaya Bay.

The Thai written language was created in the 13th century. Describing the texts as ancient is a bit OTT.

Excellent headline, should win a prize of some sort.

Make the trains stop and give way to the motorists.  Probably more economical.

Still the BIB then?

By definition, the stuff they call non-alcoholic "beer" is not beer. Weaselpiss is a better description.

Otherwise, grape juice would be called non-alcoholic Wine, and apple juice would be called non-alcoholic apple cider.

Jomtien (Chonburi) IO requesting the visit after 3 months is a farcical "rule" that is not enforced.

Consider this - anybody that uses an agent for their annual renewal (because they don't have the 800K) never goes to the office for the renewal. Okay, they drop in for a photograph but don't submit the renewal documents.  They don't receive the IO document requesting the need to show the passbook in 3 months, and don't have the ability to show a valid passbook balance in 3 months anyway.

In a TIT twist of irony, the only people able to show their passbook in 3 months are those that are doing everything legitimately.

When the rule was first announced, I suspected it would require the illegitemates to use their agent to submit a falsified passbook at 3 months, and be charged accordingly. But this didn't eventuate. 

A missed business opportunity. 

Aged 15 in 1975, I bought a 1960 MKII Ford Zephyr from my BIL.  Proceeded to:

Install a MKIV front bench seat.

Install a phase III Kelford Cam, head, and flows from a wrecked MKIII Zodiac.

Install a 4 speed box from the same Zodiac, with an Impala in-line floor shifter.

The same Zodiac donated power assisted brakes.

Lifted the rear end - didn't work as the springs just sagged.

Fitted twin 150 Strombergs. Had problems getting the correct size needles, but after buying almost every needle available, I got lucky.

Did all the usual - mag wheels, painted it British Racing Green, new carpets, padded dashboard.

Paid $600 to the BIL.  Spent $3,000 ( a year's salary) doing it up. Sold it for $900 to pay for my wedding.  

That's the only car I ever made money on. 

Had a brand new kitchen installed by a reputable European owned company in Pattaya.  The day after their "plumber" installed the kitchen drain and sealed it with silicone, I pulled it apart and installed a grommet I'd sourced at Thai Watsadoo.

I returned the following day - plumber had removed my grommet and redone the silicone. He said "lubber pluk no good in Thailan, sillycone bet".

I replaced the grommet when the job was finished. TIT.

Dollars to donuts the women were Brits and assumed the baskets were a Thai version of a pith helmet. Traditional British tropical headgear - back in the day of the Raj.

The size of their rear ends is further confirmation of them being Brits.
