I don’t think so…and THOSE I miss.

More concrete means higher temperatures. In America, most tire centers are in business districts, next to car dealerships. Putting one next to a condominium reinforces my decision to rent not buy.

Although I can treat myself, it just seems way too pricey for CM. I notice lots of restaurants that serve western food have $8 to $12 ranges. I wonder if they price themselves out of business?

Miss Ya is such a nice lady and she’s probably just making ends meet. Thank you for helping her out. When she makes corn I buy some. I wonder how one goes about making a more permanent stall with shade and a sign?

My lady friends in their makeshift food stalls are surviving but have been pushed close to the road. Yet they smile and say Nid Noi. Little room. TIT

Rebar arrives. PanSook Condominiums next door. Time to sell? Gonna be a noisy few months of construction….then followed by Pneumatic drivers and lug nuts as you so rightly mentioned. Ugh!

Ha! Would appreciate the restaurant. ???? In America, tire centers are fairly good size. You need a showroom for the tires and customer service. Then you have 3 or 4 bays to put the tires on, maybe with car lifts. Then you need parking. So, all in all, the center could take up the entire lot. Wait and see. I’ll post pictures as construction begins. So far, the lady food vendors are hanging in, but one has to imagine they will be booted, or the construction itself will force them to move.

In this case, can’t stand being right. Talked to the boys with the plan. New Tire Center … expected in 4 months.

I agree, unfortunately. In a world of unicorns and rainbows, a rich Thai would have purchased the land and made a nice park. Trees would have stayed. Room for vendors. Nightly events, maybe a concert shell.

My banana seller, Miss Ya, may be on her last days at this spot. She is beside herself. Very sad. Backhoe is clearing out the tree roots.

Spoke to Miss Ya, banana seller extraordinaire, who seems to know what’s going on. She told me, drum roll please….. …A brand new Tire Center!

Wait and see, I guess. But why clear all the trees, if indeed just for parking? Mosquito control seems far fetched. If anyone knows different, look forward to the reason. ????

Tuesday: All remaining trees coming down. Concrete jungle. My banana seller, Miss Ya, is so sad.

Ok, we will see. But they did take down some big trees which is a shame for a two-day parking lot. The last time I saw this chopping down trees was up the block on Huay Kaew Road for the newly built Hotel that has yet to have a customer. Go figure.

I walk by it everyday on Huay Kaew Road, cornered by Ratchhaphuek Alley leading into Santitham. Corner Lot. Lots of green and big old trees. Kids sometimes play in among the tall weeds. Not anymore. Today they started to tear the trees down. For what I’m not so sure. The food stall ladies who sit all hours on Ratchhaphuek already know that Summer heat is going to get worse without those old trees shielding them. I thought of Joni Mitchells song Big Yellow Taxi: Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot

Nimmenhaimen, I hear. You can’t miss the sandbags that surround it.

That does look comfortable…thanks for the suggestion. I’m still looking for a place to sit in a number of chairs….so at the moment, Idea Furniture is one such upcoming visit.

Generally I have no problem with that type of chair…..but I’m looking for something that might have wheels for small movements….thanks!

Will take a look. thanks. As long as I can sit and test, see a price clearly….I can google translate the rest.????

I’m on the hunt for a sitting chair. Nothing too expensive…around 1000 baht, but comfortable. Not the giant lazy boy type. I have a small apartment. What I would like to do is go to a store that sells chairs, try them out, decide on one and have them deliver to my hotel. Any recommendations would be helpful in CM city.

Kad Suen Kaew….Central Outlet has a small toy department on 3rd floor? Also the mall has a 20 baht store that has some toys and I think they have figurines from Marvel.

OK. Thanks!

I’ll try that….thanks much.

Yes, but wonder if this is the official main website for information? Thank you.

Thanks! I edited out the link.
