The road / sewer construction situation at Laguna 3 just became worse. Access from Soi 7 / second road is completely blocked. This will make ordering taxis and getting to Jomtien very difficult. When I told security they seemed surprised. It makes me wonder who is in charge and whether they communicate. Wait for the day when a tourist falls in one of the holes being dug or gets hit by debris or a digger.

They are so corrupt. A few weeks ago I watched two officers scamming parked motorbike owners on South pattaya Road. They put a lock on a bike, wait for an owner and accept cash to release. Farang and Thai.

Have you considered gentle swimming as well to strengthen both your legs and your body generally ?

That's a big pipe with open grates, once it is in use the smell will be awful ? Right under your condo. Time to move ? They are building new condos and a new gated community to the right of laguna 3 so the volume could be significant.

Yes OK. I only have knowledge of the laguna 3 section. It looks like a sh*t show though. And from a renters perspective neither my agent or the admin seem to give a damn.

The upstream and down stream work on the massive drainage pipe that is being laid is already complete. So it seems that it is the 200m section at laguna 3 that will be built ? I assume it will carry sewerage for new condos but I don't see any processing plant before the sea ? So they plan to dump all that waste at Jomtien beach ?

Six months ago the Maldives ( laguna 3 ) was quiet. Now its a construction zone, it looks like a bomb site. Noisy, dirty and hard to get to. Frequent power outages, bad WIFI and loads of heavy machinery. The agent that arranged this condo for me didn't mention the impending building work. This picture was taken weeks ago, now its much worse.

Or do they ever do any research before making these plans ? Could they not talk to their target audiences ? It always seems like pie in the sky.

We saw this guy at Amazon coffee at the end of soi Buakhou about a week ago. He was begging for food or coffee.

I'm 6'4" and not at all fat. I will check IKEA, thanks.

Has anyone in the pattaya area needed to replace wooden bed slats ? 760 x 56 x 10 mm If you know a place that I can buy them I would be obliged. I'm 100kg and they don't seem to be strong enough. The existing ones are made from weak laminated ply wood. Cheers.

Will this visa and land lease be introduced this year then revoked a few years from now ?

Yes food seems OK for the price but they don't seem to be able to cook eggs. Rushing too much I suppose. Just need to concentrate on service and push the waiting staff to be polite and offer the odd smile.

Decades ? Then why so many quakes in New Zealand ?

Was that in Jomtien soi 5 ? Those waitresses in cheap charlies there are miserable. Lousy service.
