Why do vehicular collisions occur?

From me a few points which some will agree with and some will not. Hotel quarantine is not prison; it is not a cell; it is a hotel room where you have to stay for a week at present. You have a multi Chanel TV and can take computers, iPads and mobile phones etc. Yes. it can get boring after a while but reference to prison cells and similar I do not think are helpful and probably put one in the wrong mindset. As far as food and snacks are concerned, my reasoning was that whilst in quarantine one is likely to perform less physical activities; in simple terms do less. You have plenty of time on your hands and if there are snacks and food around you are likely to want to eat it. My advice is do not take a load of snacks into quarantine or if you do, keep them locked in your suitcase. If you eat more, particularly sweats and snacks you will emerge several kg in weight more than when you entered. No one checks your luggage for alcohol; I had a bottle of Prosecco which I left quarantine with it still in my case. As far as food is concerned, I do not think that the Thai's are as keen on food being piping hot as westerners. If there is a microwave in the room, a spot of reheating suitable foods does make them taste better. Being aware that you may have to microwave food to heat it up a little should be taken into account when ordering food on the daily menu. Food looks better if you take it out of the plastic boxes and packages and put it on plates and dishes - again act in think positively. I had a laptop, iPad and phones; there was a tv in the room along with an android box so no lack of choice for entertainment. If you have a laptop it is worth having an HDMI cable to link it to the TV. Finally think positive. When you arrive you have a week to go. After mid day on day four you are over half way there, then it is down to only three days, only two days and then one. Always be positive. I hope this assists or at least provides food for thought, if you will pardon the pun.

From the walk this morning along Beach Road.

Naklua Road this morning.

Certainly not top of the range but looks a tidy vehicle for its age.

Beach Road this morning.

Cleaning up the mess.

Getting two locations wrong in a week. What can I say.

A few from the Pattaya Bay Viewing Point taken this morning.

Bali Hai preparing the New Year Celebrations. Visited around 0900 this morning and a lot of people around. A few other views around the area.

This was the building which was burnt down some few months ago. Only thing that is opening is the hold in the ground.

Part of this morning's walk.

Do we need to close the bars?😀

He certainly was.

Pretty good this morning.
