Been like this for last two weeks, why single out Wednesday?

Air horns in a party atmosphere is what it is, why not start with the badly tuned smoke belching pick-ups, motorbikes with modified exhausts that you can hear for miles, baht busses peep peeping, eardrum popping advertising trucks....or is that all too simple?

Yes there are some in town also down by the beach, many stand alone serviced apartments available, also Grand Garden hotel and New Kantaray hotel have serviced apartment options, lots of houses of various shapes and sizes, many rentals in a lot of the new developments around town.

Great infrastructure now with the end of the 7 Motorway terminating at Ban Chang, Sukhimvit through Ban Chang all complete concrete now (just wish they would get the white lines finished), international schools, quite a lot of new restaurants in the last couple of years. Decent food options at the beaches but the beach quality can be hit or miss depending on the season, hugely popular on holiday weekends though. U Tapau airport on the doorstep set to expand in size and service, access is good now. New hotels also in the last couple of years. So many new 7/11, miniC, Tesco etc. everywhere. Robinsons is a bit of a white elephant, not the same as Robinsons in Rayong, the one in Ban Chang is a "lifestyle Centre" quite small and limited - but the Cinema is popular with the locals. Many golf courses on the doorstep. But because of all the above....land and property prices are getting a bit crazy!!

Probably get around 20 deliveries a month from Lazada for the last 7 years, never had an issue. Always COD which is also never an issue.

Long weekend this weekend so the Bangkok invasion will make it seem busier, last couple of weeks have been very quiet at Makro and Big C on Sukhumvit, road very quiet as well. But it does not take much traffic to make the middle of Pattaya look busy.

Apparently It is illegal to leave your home in Thailand without underwear on.

No, i am from UK and my one starts 6217.

Not fake or staged.....but certainly being orchestrated from afar!

The Chinese clean up was all widely predicted when Covid was causing the demise of many hotels.

And which expat stores in Thailand stock these?

Watching movies on your phone has that effect of not being able to see anything else in front of you!

Not only for baked beans, but it seems the worldwide shortage of cornstarch is a key factor in many food products not being available or if they are available there is a huge price increase. Google is your friend!

Never seen Tesco or Asda brand in any of the expat shops here.

LOL!!, 202 Baht a can on Shopee!!

Unfortunately none on the last shipment, i think most that were holding stock have now sold out.

But the ones you get here are imported from the UK not China

Yeah, but this is now 20th Feb, last wholesale shipment into Thailand end of last week (from where this company buys) Heinz Beans are 91 Baht + Vat.

That price list will surely be due an update, cant buy Heinz beans or Branston beans wholesale for that price now.

So everything is alrighty then!!

In Thailand it is wise to keep your Rabies and Tetanus shots up to date, a lot of danger out there!!

Have already in Thailand, flying off elevated highways, flying into ditches, flying into electric posts, flying into parked trucks, way ahead of you Dubai!

Strong wind and waves.....LOL!!, i guess the writers have never seen strong wind and waves!

Oh that will escalate it okay ....... BOOM!
