They got it taped off near the parking all the way down. I didn't check out the other beaches.

Just as well, its a xxxx hole on a normal day, no real loss to the community.

Not sure why you care to be so negative. It's a pretty nice place to spend a few hours or all day.

Each to his own.  I was down there just 2 days ago.  As usual it was dirty, swarming with soi dogs, with no edible facilities in terms of food or drink, broken beach furniture,  what there was of it, rubbish everywhere. a lot of it floating in the sea.  Much nicer beaches to visit, not many I will grant you, but they can be found.

maybe your phala beach is a different one to the one i visit, and have done for 15 years, but you keep away and take the minibus groups from nordic resort with you

Bring a mat, couple cold beers, the water is pretty nice, for me it's awesome. Used to be anyway.

Friend has told me the BanChang Round Table is still meeting. ( 2 days ago anyway )

The topic clearly says Phala beach not Pa_Tie_yaa beach. It must disappoint all you Pa_Tie_yaa residents that in Thailand there are beaches that have no ladyboys or cheap beach hookers available.

Very social, shoulder to shoulder as usual!!

I believe the Ban Chang round table/Magic Roundabout society have been charged with finding a solution to the Corona virus outbreak. They have selflessly thrown themselves into testing a few cures including;

-herd immunity by crowding round a small table and proving the over 60's 70's and the obese can withstand Corona

-Quaffing huge quantities of inferior brands of beer e.g Archa can provide immunity

-Wearing a beer chang vest and flip flops provides better protection than face masks ????

You missed the shared cigarette packet and lighter in the middle of the table. ????

It will be hard to replace with all the amenities the "oval" table has to offer.

Was the move decided by 'head of table'  or a democratic decision counting upright or inverted beer cans??

i heard no suitable castle was available at short notice, so normal round table meetings will resume at the S mart, with a 6pm end to proceedings

That would usually be about their bedtime anyway;-)

Did a reconnaissance mission yesterday, the round table was vacant but did spot a couple white hairs soaking in the sun on the sea wall at the "closed" beach.

Dan Tempest brought them in by sea ( using muffled oars ) in the dark hours.

Ring road around the course at Eastern Star now closed for joggers/walkers apparently. Wondered why the missus had stopped waking me up at 05:30 am!

The booze ban by the Rayong governor should see the closure of the magic roundabout/round table society. I don't know if they proposed the ban I haven't been able to confirm this ????

You learn something new every day on TVF. I have only ever seen the round table start to convene at 1000am, so I assumed it was a day seminar. Now I learn that there is also a night meeting. Does the "thirst" for knowledge put such a demand on Phala worthies that a second shift is required. Can anyone join or is a secret handshake required?

 

PS. There were 9 joggers/walkers/dog walkers round EStar today.

Market across from Mi Casa has a sign over beers saying no sales till like 15 or 16 Apr. 

While we all like to post on the 'round table', I hope all of them don't get sick and get through all this same as everyone else.

I presume you are talking about the mob that sit outside the little mini mart next the the phla roundabout ? Do they get new recruits or is it the same mob that’s been there for years ?

I don't know if the magic roundabout are actively recruiting just now with the alcohol ban, probably downsizing. I would imagine the recruitment process involves a full interview, verbal reasoning, numerical assessment (knowledge of low price beer brands & thrift test), psychometric testing & multi-tasking team drinking while talking nonsense ????

A bit difficult to grasp why a group of retirees sitting around enjoying a beer troubles some posters so much. Do they bother anyone?

For the most part it's all in good fun. We've probably all sat there a few times having a beer, I have.
