zzzzz zzzzz ???? Most (all) of them are running on LPG not very stinky.

Yes that's my experience too, also if not cloudy then the light pollution puts a dampener on it.

So do these electric ones have a sound system to recreate that sound ? if not they shouldn't be called Tuk Tuks any more but what to call the sound of an electric motor ? also if no sound how will pedestrians know to jump out of the way ????

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/08/10/delta-variant-has-wrecked-hopes-herd-immunity-warn-scientists/ "Prof Hunter, who advises the World Health Organisation on Covid, also said it was time to change the way the data was collected and recorded as the virus became endemic. "We need to start moving away from just reporting infections, or just reporting positive cases admitted to hospital, to actually start reporting the number of people who are ill because of Covid," he added. "Otherwise we are going to be frightening ourselves with very high numbers that actually don't translate into disease burden."

There was a news piece a while ago just before the covidiocy struck about Thai visitors not being too impressed with Pattaya beach/promenade one of the things quoted was lack of seating and shade trees. those interviewed also said Bangsean and Barng Saray where better.

So he has been working for a long while then ????

Yeah great idea to borrow even more money ! I understand that a lot of cabs are not owned by the drivers but rented from the cab company... what other jobs ?

There have been reports on her that certain land offices refuse to issue usufructs to foreigners so please check carefully at your land office before buying.

The guy hanging from a tree and others beating the body with sticks ?

Doesn't matter how "proper" the education is if there are only low paying jobs available. Desperate need as in wanting to provide for family..yes exactly.

How about this Agenda 2030 "Welcome To 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy And Life Has Never Been Better" https://www.forbes.com/sites/worldeconomicforum/2016/11/10/shopping-i-cant-really-remember-what-that-is-or-how-differently-well-live-in-2030

Exactly that , they want cheap labour to do very demanding physically hard labour in poor conditions with minimal safety..I don't blame anyone who turns down such work, only those in desperate need would even consider it.

Yes repent !!! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/08/10/doom-gloom-end-time-apocalypse-always-hand/ "Whatever happened to those wide-eyed zealots who used to walk up and down the High Street with a sandwich board bearing the words The End of the World is Nigh? I haven’t seen one in ages; but then again they are no longer needed when apocalyptic doom-mongering is now a mainstream activity."

Yes remember what the "democratic soldier" said about good looking women visiting that island !

And if they get through the task before the allotted time they can take a break right ? or maybe they need less time to do the task or need more task to fill the time ?

So Trump was right about something then ? bring the manufacturing home..in my opinion the "west" was foolish to hand one country so much control over almost every aspect of manufacturing lost jobs and lost intellectual properties, its probably too late now anyway.

That's where all the Songthews are queued up waiting to pickup tourists from Walking Street..ermm hold on

Friendship and Foodmart have bread they both most likely have potatoes too but I never buy them there.

No I don't agree...Jomtien could do with a couple though

Thanks...you use a lot more electricity than me ! I only have this one one "dumb" Vango V9811A energy meter which might be hackable to obtain electronic results and incorporate into web stats and graphs if I ever find the motivation to try. https://iotawatt.com/ and https://github.com/boblemaire/IoTaWatt That looks very interesting "Open System Private Data" excellent I don't need or want to send my data to/though some Chinese server and have the device rendered useless when/if their server fails.

This has been speculated upon for years..the law has to change before casinos can be built.

Yes interesting to see what appears..more shopping malls maybe ? they could all be linked together by a skywalk/train/monorail à la Bangkok then the Bangkokiakns will feel right at home when they visit on the weekends and holidays.

Absolutely no point going to Walking Street at the moment as it is 100% closed plus they are still digging up the road.

Wow that's expensive 4.2 million for a 30 square meter shoe box !! before the Covidiocy hit there where reports of Pattaya having something like 20,000 unsold condo units..and yet they keep building relentlessly.

Don't know if this has been posted in this thread yet apologies if it has been. Seems this very rich group is having a bet on Pattaya to the tune of 8.1 billion baht !! This group bought the Sigma Resort at the far south end of Jomtien beach. "In February, she also acquired the 287-room Sigma Jomtien Pattaya Hotel for 550 million baht." https://www.forbes.com/sites/rgluckman/2021/07/08/thai-real-estate-giant-bets-big-on-tourism-rebound-with-32-billion-growth-plan/?sh=30d9cfdc3ecd "Transforming Pattaya—a former recreational playground for U.S. servicemen during the Vietnam War with a sleazy reputation as a sex tourism destination—seems like a high-stakes gamble. But Wallappa doesn’t think so, saying she believes that a new international airport proposed to be built by 2023 and planned rail links connecting Pattaya to Bangkok’s two airports, plus a monorail that will run right by the AWC Center, could turn it into a global getaway like Phuket. “Pattaya has a lot of image problems,” says Jeremy O’Sullivan, head of research at real estate consultancy Savills in Thailand. “But they are one of the only companies that could pull something like this off.” Nikhom from Horwath HTL agrees, noting that while AWC has the money and could pull in the right partners to revamp Pattaya, success will largely depend on how quickly public infrastructure develops. Thailand, after all, is known for delays."
