Well that's the problem:That was a perfectly nice area before. So all these "new" contract/kickback projects are just an ongoing construction mess. Same along the promenade. This is what was just North of Walking st. Now take a look at the utter mess there now.

And this is where another parking garage monstrosity has been built at that location. Utter madness

That's right take these reptiles away.

I lived in Bangkok in 2000's . And they just came in at night with bulldozers at a disputed area in Nana along Sukhumvit

I heard that. There are some real goons around here now, and counting

On the ground floor of Royal Garden Plaza ,the last shop on right side as you are exciting to 2nd road there is a fairly new factory outlet. All colored shirts and shorts as well as plain cargo shorts. All items seem to be made in Bangladesh and good quality and design. And cheap: 200, 300 baht.

From the post above November was 92802 baht and December 85470 baht. Then that says your income was for November 92802baht/38b/$= $2442 and December 85470baht/34.72b/$= $2461. So it seems the banks exchange rates and what you recorded vary. As well as what I get on searches. So about $2450/month equals x. Then ( 38x) = (34.72x) + 8036baht. This shows shortfall of 8036 baht. Or 3.28x = 8036 baht. That is x = 8036baht/3.28baht/$= $2450/mo

With correct exchange rates: 36.4 Nov and 34.6 Dec. So 92500/36.4 = $2541/month income. Then your short fall this month would have been 4066 baht not 7322 baht. Maybe bank fees: (36.4) (2541) = (34.8) (2541) + 4066

Assuming 38 baht last month and 34 baht this month. With a little algebra: 38x = 34x + 7332. Then. 4x=7332. That's $1833/month

Samae beach

We took one of the ferry boats to Samae beach. It moored just offshore and then take shoreboat to beach. Shop around. This might have been one of the Russian ferries

You don't have to go to the packed beaches. From the main port charter songkow to any of the other more remote beaches

No! 32 caliber. That is .32 of an inch. There are 25.4 mm/inch. So that would be about 8mm. .32mm is about the width of a line drawn with a pen.

Ok Thai travelers . I read the article and the context and emphasis is most definitely on travelers as domestic tourists .Ie family trips up country. Not conflating commuters in the count. Also a count like this is counting the same Thai travelers over and over again every weekend

From the headline: Number of domestic Thai tourists. Maybe you should visit Pattaya on a weekend in order to understand. The roads are a parking lot and they ain't non Thai tourists driving around in circles all day

You are right about Jomtien . Pattaya is a mess.

If dis guy beat up a young woman - of course lock him up. And that is most likely what happened. All some others and I are pointing out is that some of these girls can blow up . When this happened to me I went on defense only and restrained her until she calmed down. By the way I'm 70kg so these girls are more than half my weight and being farm girls they are very strong. So what are you going to do if defense fails. Best to have plan on what defense just in case.

Says someone who does not have a clue about some of these locas around here. As has been said over and over again unless you have experienced one of these girls swinging a chair at you, picking up a beer bottle..., kicking. And for no reason you cannot comprehend. Still waiting for a psychologist to explain what is going on in these episodes?

Zero to whacko in 2.3 seconds. If there are any psychologists here I sure would like to know why.

"Arrangements" to get vaccinated. So forced vaccination. I am unvaccinated for SARS-CoV-2. Sure I've been exposed but never infected. Helps to have a BMI = 21.5, exercise, healthy lifestyle, so on. Perhaps 'arrangements'should be made to control obesity, smoking that lead to the comorbidities: diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease. And you know what you can do with your - perhaps Thailand should try this approach

These very large Thai style clubs, that look like a high school gymnasium are increasing. Like that new under construction one on second road between Soi 6 and Soi 5 . It also has screened exterior? On second road, so moving into the more central Pattaya area unfortunately. Expect to see spillovers in the Pattaya bad news section.

That's beside the point. Doesn't make any difference what they were doing. Looking for ladies? Fine. But when visitors get robbed by these reptiles with the XY chromosomes over and over again in this tourist town. That is the problem.

And again for those that arrived late this is just above walking st across from the Pattaya lands ,sois 13/4 and 13/3. Compared to that utter mess there now. This photo is representative of the 2000,s . You don't have to go back in history to the 80s and 90s for crissake.

Meanwhile -Utter madness. If the city cared about tourist they would have constructed about three pedestrian bridges over Beach Rd. Instead more bogus kickback projects including those traffic lights that increase danger for those unaware how locals as well as some foreigners drive around here. And what is this project going to bring ? More traffic on and off this glorified road the city calls a promenade. Pickup parties. Forget about it. Lost cause.
