I snapped a couple pics. It is indeed quite a large lot. From Thappraya Rd, First pic is in the middle of the lot facing NW, second is at the north end facing SW. Those two buildings on the left in the 2nd picture are ViewTalay 5D & 5C

I can confirm this stuff does seem to work well for the tiny micro ants. After I used it they were gone within a couple days.

Probably the same anti-vax nut jobs still obsessing over covid conspiracies. 💉

Usually, land departments don't want to deal with random people wandering in off the street asking questions like that unless you have some specific business with them. I wouldn't trust a real estate agent to give me that kind of info if they think I might be a customer.

Also, why are these conspiracy theories, intentionally inflammatory posts (trolling), and disinformation allowed on this forum while petty things like swear words and misspelling names are not? It's not that hard to separate fact from fiction and enforce it. Credible links or it's not allowed. Simple as that. Quashing the anti-vaxx nonsense is even easier since their stuff is never based on real peer reviewed science.

There are also people on here who seem to fancy themselves as professional trolls that apparently have nothing better to do—posting inflammatory stuff daily. This happens mostly in the political soapbox section, but they seem to get away with it in other sections as well—take the constant anti-vax disinformation, for example.

It was all just a political stunt anyways. They got all the mileage they wanted out of it. The Supremes know that, otherwise they could have made a decision much sooner.

He probably wants to name it Trumpland. Google maps will do it at the drop of a hat, just like they did with the Gulf of America Mexico. Not only do I hope they proseccute every one of these criminals in his administration, I hope they go after all the bootlicking corporations and billionaires too.

It's basically the dementia version of Weekend at Bernie's right now.

A lot of medical experts seem to think he probably won't be around much longer, so there's that.

I just bought a 500b air quality monitor on there that was shipped from China. Should have known better for that price. A lot of the readings were faked as far as I can tell. Watched some youtube videos about it and that was basically their conclusion as well. Ended up sending it back. Will see if I get a refund or if they claim there is nothing wrong with it. For anyone else out there looking to get an air quality monitor, if it's less than around 3000b it's probably garbage. Using proper sensors costs money.

So you went on frequent walks in there did you? 🤔

If it was infested with squatters then it wasn't much of a green space. It would be nice if they turned it into an actual green space park, but it is probably far too valuable for that.

According to Google AI, it was done to remove squatters, unauthorized structures, and rubbish, as part of a broader cleanup effort around the city. That doesn't explain the planting of trees though, unless that's all part of it to prevent erosion.

There will probably be lots of VT5 north-facing condos going up for sale soon. I wouldn't want to live on that side once that massive construction starts. It's not right beside, so maybe it won't be so bad.

I believe that's going to be another Copacabana high-rise condo. I think they already have several stories of concrete poured.

Sizzler all you can eat salad bar. 200b. Also includes a couple soups, spaghetti with sauce, and some dessert. I know one guy who eat there several times a week. Lotus's salad bar every time I shop there to bring home, 29b/100g, Big C has it too but Lotus's is better. SaladStop and Jones Salad restaurants once in awhile. When in Bangkok I go to Gourmet Market. That is the best salad bar I have found anywhere in Thailand. Usually includes some chicken and fish options as well. There are several locations including T21, Emsphere, and Siam Paragon. I think the one in Siam Paragon is a little better than the others. Pattaya doesn't have one, unfortunately. No Jones Salad either. Maybe some day. I eat more salad in Thailand than I do back home.

Siam group, the developer of the largest mall in Bangkok (ICONSIAM), has been looking for a location in the Pattaya area. They were initially planning to build it next to the Ocean Marine Yacht Club in Na Jomtien, but the last thing I heard about it was that they were now looking for a location in Jomtien instead. Based on those rumors and speculation, my best guess is that it is going to be a mix of mall and condos and/or hotel. They will probably also be pushing to get a monorail station there since traffic is already pretty bad in that area.

So the same guy recently mocking Reimer's murder as Trump Der@ngement Syndrome takes his Biden Hussein Der@ngement Syndrome to the next level.

Moretta looked kind of interesting at first, until I started looking into the fees/spreads. They are not very transparent about it either, so it took me awhile to figure that out. I believe they only accept USD currency so you can't use Wise for the exchange either. It will be a more interesting option to me if they ever offer more than just QR code payments. I'm not going to pay them a bunch of fees and spreads on the exchange just for that.

So the same as just using the credit card directly with an additional step and middleman. I guess being able to use a Wise virtual card is one advantage, but not a very compelling one imo.

Cars and gas need to be made much more expensive. Not to target poor people, but because there are just too many cars on streets that were never designed for it. Also, there is not nearly enough parking. So then you have people parking on the sides of streets and double parking, causing even more congestion. It just becomes a vicious circle. I shake my head at the ridiculousness of it all with no end in sight. It just keeps getting worse year after year.

So they are openly admitting now it was never about drug boats.

Also, a lot of us lead very quiet lives. I don't drink or go to bars and have zero interest in the nightlife. Usually up before dawn, go for a walk, and do all my grocery shopping before most wake up. Not too hot and not much traffic that time of day. That is a side of Pattaya most tourists never see.
