And U-Tapao will become an international flight center with the knock on effect of making Pattaya itself an international hub even more so than before.

Mayor Sontaya Khunpluem said that the document in question was just a temporary measure during drainage work on Beach Road and did not represent a change in policy. 

So are they are aren't they charging for parking  during this "temporary" measure ? 

if so who is charging,how much for how many hours ?

With Tesco and Family mart withdrawn from Thailand consumer choice and competition is much reduced..I'm not even sure who owns Big C now ?

Splinter maybe  then infection  possibly even tetanus.

How were you knocked off your motorbike, did someone throw a pail of water over you? If not, then what has songcran got to do with it?

My very first Songkran (about 1998) I was riding a decrepit old banger of a motorbike quite slowly along a main road in Phrae (the outback or sticks of Thailand)

there was a lone kid and his father waiting  on the side of the road with a bucket of water..as I passed  the kid skilfully and egged on by father landed the full bucket of water right in my face knocking of my spectacles and rendering me momentarily blind ( yes I wasn't wearing a helmet bad boy bad boy )

After they had retrieved my eyeglasses I said a few choice words and continued on ,  a few  hundred meters along the road  a group of teenagers had set up a  "watering station"   and threw another whole bucket of

water onto the engine/spark plug  which killed the bike dead  they then doused me in ice cold water.

who is going to bail them out when it rains !

Don't worry they'll build them on a hill just like the tunnel...only it might take as long to build as the tunnel did.????

Why didn't your wife drink the coffee where she bought it?

It was a large cup of iced coffee from a takeaway street vendor bought moments before.

Anyway we got some free seating on the beach away from the "grey water" outflow.

Look like your brother-in-law did a great job. And yes we are impressed with your obvious wealth.

The work looks good, yes probably expensive builds...brother in law...? ha ha, well maybe but so what if the work is good...hard to find good tradesmen here so all recommendations should be welcome.

It's a pity we can't name and shame the many fly by night cowboys that masquerade as tradesmen.

Do you have any tourism numbers for Phayao vs. Pattaya?

I think its safe to say Pattaya got more tourists than Phayao did

the lake there is nice.

Why write cycles are important

A NAND flash SSD is able to endure only a limited number of write cycles. The program/erase process causes a deterioration of the oxide layer that traps electrons in a NAND flash memory cell, and the SSD will eventually become unreliable, wear out and lose its ability to store data.

The number of write cycles, or endurance, varies based on the type of NAND flash memory cell. An SSD that stores a single data bit per cell, known as single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash, can typically support up to 100,000 write cycles. An SSD that stores two bits of data per cell, commonly referred to as multi-level cell (MLC) flash, generally sustains up to 10,000 write cycles with planar NAND and up to 35,000 write cycles with 3D NAND. The endurance of SSDs that store three bits of data per cell, called triple-level cell (TLC) flash, can be as low as 300 write cycles with planar NAND and as high as 3,000 write cycles with 3D NAND. The latest quadruple-level cell (QLC) NAND will likely support a maximum of 1,000 write cycles.

USB Flash Drives Have Finite Number of Write/Erase Cycles

The life expectancy of a USB Flash Drive can be measured by the number of write or erase cycles. USB flash drives can withstand between 10,000 to 100,000 write/erase cycles, depending on the memory technology used.

When the limit is reached, some portion of the memory may not function properly, leading to lost of data and corruption.
