Yes, not good, blinking last minute shoppers... ..... but at least no rain! (yet!!!)

But yesterday was worse between, Maenam and Big C.... road checks make for a huge line of traffic!

Probably more road checks out again this evening & tomorrow too... ....

Yes - it's getting a bit crazy there. Sunday is always manic.

Mind you , with all of the tourists here at the moment it getting harder to buy the basics at times. Their bakery cannot keep up with demand. Yesterday at 5.30 pm - not a piece of bread in sight.

Big C has been much better lately on imported items than Tesco, who take far too long to restock items we need!!! ... Cheese, digestives etc etc ...

I generally never liked Big C for shopping, but they are getting more of my $ lately.... I even found the Bounty bars there, yesterday......

Bank Holidays, Paydays, 1st weekend of the month is always mayhem there, even in low season. The problem is made worse by cars using both entrances to get in as well as out instead of sticking to the left, or by cars trying to turn into traffic (by turning right) instead of turning with the flow upon exit & taking a short detour.

On Xmas eve the queue of cars trying to get out stretched right up to the lorry delivery bay 2-300m from the main road.

Went to Makro today.

People are double parking there, insane amount of people.

In an out in the same time as usual.

Both customers and staff very professional.

Beer singha in small bottles was sold out.
