    No snow here - peace and tranquillity. 27 degrees here and it has just turned 1900 hours.

    Back to normality Pay at the Pump, self service for fuel has not reached Thailand as yet. I have seen up to six people at this site on Naklua Road. Music Festival part two is scheduled for Naklua next weekend and then this event, which was formally called the Night Market. Merry Christmas from La Baguette. Dolphin Circus A few from the beach; quite misty in the distance but a breeze blowing. These signs appear about every 100 metres. The jet skis are back but I have not seen many being used. Main use seems to be pulling the banana boat. Repairing the block paving near sir 5. Work on the gap between the pavement and the beach.

    Ongoing work on the trench between the beach and pavement. Although it does not show on the photograph the bright shiny paint on the pumps is fading.

    Pattaya this evening was as busy as I have seen it; the event was divided into four sections. I actually left after the third section. Beach Road, Second Road and Naklua Road all congested. I took a motor cycle taxi as I did not fancy sharing a Baht bus with about ten others! The photographs were taken at between 8 and 15 seconds at f8/f11.

    Saturday afternoon was quite busy in Pattaya; please see first photograph. Food and other stalls were erected on Beach Road for the Firework Festival. It was at this time that I saw the kites flying above the beach as I proceeded towards Walking Street.

    Perhaps I did it the wrong way round but we booked the evening Fireworks buffet at the Dusit Thani on Friday evening and attended the second showing on Beach Road near the structure with the King in ceremonial dress. Between the two Fireworks shows I stumbled upon the Kite Event which was being held at the Walking Street end of the beach.

    Just going through last nights photographs. I was located just in front of the big yellow structure with the picture of the King in ceremonial dress. It was a better view than last night from the Dusit, where I was looking at it side ways on. The down side was the density of the crowd. @forcebwithumentioned earlier the close proximity of the display barge to the shore line and the associated viewing angle. I had my lens around to 30 mm mark with very little cropping necessary.

    Thank you all for kind wishes. @nampla69 I must decline the kind offer of a mobility scooter. I manage to exceed my 10000 steps daily. As far as Yorkshire Cricket an explanation is they probably did not understand the language in Yorkshire.

    From this morning's walk. Everything in situ for the Fireworks this evening. A basket ball event at Terminal 21 soon. The demise of Drinking Street. Character with a guitar. I am set up for the fireworks tonight; tomorrow looking at the third floor of the Bay if I am allowed.
