Last week he went to Pattaya for some holidays; he was a " chef" in Jomtien during many years .

He said to me ,

Oh! Pattaya and Jomtien are beginning to be a ghost town; so many buildings , shops to sell

and nearly nobody, nearly no clients in some well known cafe like The Bodega ( soi Yamato or Post Office, I don't remember )

 

On rd 227, coming back home
