Hi-de-Hi.

Welcome to Maplin's.

does this fall into the "lipstick on a pig" category?

 

Pattaya Walking Street painting is now finished, minus an area at the top of the street, and ready to impress tourists, Pattaya Deputy Mayor Manoch Nongyai said during a walk at the street yesterday, November 3rd.

 

The deputy stated the contractor of the Walking Street repaving project had recently completed renovating the last 500 meters of the street, which now looked picturesque and fresh.

 

The street painting, which stretched as far as 1,000 meters, was done by volunteer artists and business operators and is set to be a great photo prop for pedestrians. Walking Street in South Pattaya will be closed to traffic from 7PM nightly and reopen at 5 AM for garbage collectors to pick up garbage.

Is it late night pavement pizza proof??

Or, to put it another way, "is not finished"...

At least you can say you only went there to see the street painting... Do they have any 3D paintings? This one would fit for Pattaya ????

 

I just wasted 2 minutes of my life watching this video to the end.

 

I just wasted another 2 minutes writing this comment.

 

You just wasted some time reading my comment.

 

Do you ever get the feeling that life is just a waste of time?

 

Does anyone have the Phone Number for The Samaritans???

 

 

 

 

to impress the tourists..... but if and when are they coming ??

There is a lot of robbery and stealing etc at the moment in Pattaya and that don't like tourists. so paint the streets but better make it a safe place

I find it about as attractive as a graffiti train.

With any luck there will be enough footfall to wear it off before Songkran.....if the underlying tiles stay put that long. 

'Pattaya Walking Street painting is now finished, and ready to impress tourists,'.  Damn! I thought it said 'pointing.'  I was looking forward to the photos.

Back in the day I used to buy books from an (English) second-hand book vendor. I once asked him, what people would read these days to which he answered, that "Pattaya is not visited for reading books"; a ten-out-of-ten answer and we had a good laugh. 

Well, the deputy bigwig just outdid that lighter moment of long gone days with the "new Pattaya Walking Street painting is ready to impress tourists". Out with the old, in with the new; Pattaya wants to be visited for its paintings rather than for its endless choice of houses of whatever repute! 

You cant make up such stuff, thank you for this beauty!

Only those with drones will be able to view the technicolour mess.

Knowing how quickly road markings wear out I take it they will have a team of painters on permanent standby to rectify the worn out areas.

Yes, the idea has carried over from how there is money to be made rebuilding the beach frequently. I doubt they will keep up any painting of the floor myself. 

Meanwhile the guy on the left is diligently adding to the mess of unsightly cables hanging along the street.......

Dirty and spoiled in a few days.

Drove this morning up to Soi 16 and saw same dirt smeared painting.

 

At our village school they did a lot painting on the pavement (some alphabet stuff, math tables, Thai/English etc). After a few months almost completely worn out, unreadable 

Lets see it again in a couple of months time....

Looks quite nice and would be kinda fun to walk on. Lends some distinction to the old paving stones.

 

Will make it harder to spot the piles of vomit to step over.  ????
