Should look good when finished.

As for how busy it is, some obviously never visited the area the last 2 weekends. Beaches were packed and it was good to see.

To replenish the old sand with hundreds of tons of new sand they will have to either drage it from the bottom of the sea or bring it from elsewhere, thus creating a problem there in order to solve the the sand erosion of the more lucrative of Pattaya beaches...

They are already dredging off the Jomtien coast

If you were (or are) local, just go to the IO. Not too busy and takes about 5-10mins.

I got a C of E yesterday  at Jomtien IO and it took 5 mins to hand in the paperwork and picked it up after breakfast at Simple Simon an hour later.

Don't worry, most foreigners will not want to come back, given all the stupid sh.t the governments at all levels are doing. Thailand is no longer the "Land of Smiles", and is now the "Land of Frowns".

So why don’t you fear cough then!

Rooster

Ha ha ha now that is my sense of humour ????

There is a second hand bookstall a few doors up from the Triangle bar in Soi Pothole. Can’t remember the name of it but it is an English name like Shakespear or something similar. They would be grateful for anything you give them.

Good luck

Just found out, it’s called Canterbury Tales.

Rich people are blessed by special magic not available to common folk which protects them from infections. Or does avoided direct impact mean: were insulated from economic consequences like the rest of you?

Yes I am

I did wonder where my roadside fines were being spent.

Now I don’t mind so much!

socially distant dogs not allowed inside due to no face masks ????

And they are also sensible enough to each have an umbrella ☔️ 

A bit selfish though to leave one of them in the entrance!

My favourite place for a getaway would be where they leave the bank vault open so I can just walk in help myself and race off on my 125cc!

I just got a haircut!

Can anyone - again- explain to me, why THAT was okay, but I can not sit in a pub, with a mate and have a beer?

I thought you had to wear a mask to get a haircut?

But that may have been in Australia ???

OP, as you say, you have medical insurance plus other investments so an emergency fund of 500k baht sounds fine.

I guess it depends on what you are classing as an emergency if your health is already covered?

How in gods name does the local constable find his gun with all that paraphernalia hanging from his torso!
