jmccarty Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 It has been a mess since Friday mid-day, trying to decide if I should take some vising friends to Pratamnak from East Pattaya. Last night was a lot more sitting in the car than in the place we went to visit. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awohalitsiktoli Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Horrible! I have been here a very long time and have never seen it this bad--even seems worse than on Songkran. Bumper to bumper on the main roads that connects Pattaya and Jomtien. I feel stranded in Jomtien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZurf Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Don't go. I made the mistake of going to Naklua from South Pattaya and have rarely seen it this bad. And I drove a motorbike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Mega Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I slipped over to Foodland about 10.30am and it was filthy then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Yep, a slow moving parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoboi Bebobp Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Got off the Bangkok bus around 2:45 this afternoon and got on my motorcycle to head to the Darkside from North Road. Southbound Sukhumvit was virtually blocked, even for motos, through to Klang. But I turned onto Soi Siam. Seems to me it was like this last weekend too. But I was informed this was a bit of a holiday weekend, unbeknownst to me. Chulalongkorn Day, which means at least a government holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Its "just another long weekend" for the "government"/bankers etc. Not the most popular one. Where will this end? From bad experience I have these long weekends/holidays marked in deep red on the wall calendar. 12h "drive" for 560 km to Pattaya two years ago on the July long holiday (Asaha Bucha / Khao Pansa). Once and never again. Thursday 26th November, Loy Krathong: not an official holiday, but from experience another mess. Helter skelter on Jomtien beach. Saturday Dec 5 (Kings birthday) to Monday Dec 7 (substitute) will be another mess. No need to point out New Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccarty Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Thanks all. I decided to stay on the dark side and had a pleasant dinner at Casa Deon by the lake. Food and drink were good but a nasty head cold that I thought I had seen the end of - reared its head by morning again and had no choice but to drive in to North Pattaya to BHP. Traffic, was fine! But glad I skipped Saturday night in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
