I understand it was an e mail to persons with bookings.

The Beach Road dogs are missing being fed by BM @Yesitisdakid and his well dressed associate.

No scientific measurements but the air quality seemed as bad as I had seen it for some time. First few pictures taken from Naklua Road area looking firstly towards Naklua and then moving towards the Terminal 21 mall. The rest are taken from Beach Road. No post processing done to reduce or enhance the haze.

. Rather a lack of activity

An old Jeep; had a chat with its owner an American living in Thailand who has owned it four years. I suspect the USB ports on the dashboard were added later.

This afternoon's efforts.

Thanks for above. I saw it again this afternoon at same location. I wondered if the annual tax disc would show any make but it was rolled onto one of those cylinder type holders. Did not want to hang around too much if it could be ringed vehicle.

I have included this. The sticker on the rear window is The Car Club Society on Thailand. Anyone any knowledge about the car, age, make etc?

Beach Road this morning.

A plug for Mr Deen, whom I do not know and have never met or seen.

A little worse for wear but I thought worthy of inclusion.

I saw the vehicle this morning being ridden on Beach Road; I must admit it did not sound like a well tuned machine. What were the indications that the vehicle was a copy or clone.

Unfortunately it is behind a paywall.

Mrs Sacoolas has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving. From the information available in the public domain, I am not 100% convinced that her driving amounted to dangerous driving. There is a lesser charge of causing death by careless driving, which although it carries a maximum sentence of 5 years imprisonment. can be dealt with summarily at the Magistrates Court. The lower end of the sentencing for the causing death by careless driving offence according to sentencing guidelines includes community service and of course suspended prison sentence is available up to a period of six months if the matter is dealt with by Magistrates. Momentary lack of concentration is a phrase often used is cases of this type and there is some evidence to suggest that this happened in this case when the accused set off driving on the wrong side of the road. Personally I think she has been overcharged, which I put down to media pressure. Should she plead guilty to this lesser offence and the prosecution agree to this the matter could be dealt with relatively quickly. There would probably be a public reaction if she is convicted and not sentenced to imprisonment, however it is probably a case where the police, CPS and the accused would like to be resolved. Whatever happens there will be some who will not be satisfied. The media have kept this case running.

By no means classic, I have seen it driven around Pattaya. This morning parked in front of Central Festival.

Quite misty over the bay this morning.

Not a great photograph however these are made in Thailand.

If it is made up, then I am sure that the deceased will rise from the dead, something not done for over 2021 years.

Parked just off Second Road opposite Soi 8.
