Joking apart, it's no fun stabbing your foot on the steel frame that ends up in the surf after the lantern has burnt out.

There not trying very hard to catch them , the fireworks have been going off every night for the past 4 months from 8 pm continually until 4 am. Here is the guy selling them every night with the number plate removed from his old Honda Click.

The Patong beach police station at the end of Bangla rd is in full view of of everything. 

They are again illegal fireworks going off again tonight right in front of my place , very loud and annoying everybody
