Google Image search didn't come up with a match, but telling the AI "in Pattaya" did the trick and found this review with a pic. You do get around. Location is on the darkside.

The pic does make it look clearer, but looking out my window now I see quite a bit of pollution haze in the air.

I'll post the place if it's ok that I cheated and used Google Image search with a little help from AI to find the location?

Thanks for the recommendation. I have a couple of cheap USB powered clocks, but noticed after a few months the time lags by a couple of minutes after setting to the correct time. Just ordered two of the Tuya brand on Lazada. When with green in the hope that with the brightness turned way down it won't disturb my sleep. https://www.lazada.co.th//products/i5848297645-s24909589769.html

Looks much better painted.

I hope they build this pedestrian bridge. The design is beautiful. Chadchart's bold bridge plan

Felt the drops too. Although I thought it were the ladies sprinkling holy water on me as I was leaving The Chapel. Perhaps late this morning we might see a few more drops.

Another observation at Red House. If no curtain BJ's appeal to you, they appear to be the thing at Red House. Both times I was at the club over the last week there was a guy getting serviced by a couple of ladies directly across from the bar. Might have been the same guy both times; maybe he never left. 😄

Repaving on Soi Bong Koch is underway. But look at that, they're paving over the drains. Fortunately they had the foresight to mark the shoulder with the location of the drains so they can dig them out later.

I didn't realize until last night what a chilling effect a Thai sitting at a GC can have on the ladies' behavior. I stopped in at The Chapel last night. It was moderately busy with most of the customers with a lady. I took pity on the two that had no customer, called them over and bought each a LD. One lady immediately pointed to one of the guys sitting at the bar and said he's Thai. No lady with him, but there were three other customers sitting at the bar with him so asked and it was confirmed he was the driver for the small group. It was while playing Connect 4 with my two ladies that on me winning they did the usual pull their top down as my reward, but then immediately covered up. That was when the penny dropped and I realized why none of the other ladies had gone topless. It was because they were embarrassed to be seen topless by the Thai dude sitting at the bar. It was a shame really as it changed the vibe of the place for me. As the group at the bar looked like they were planted there for the long term, I didn't stay longer than one drink. I then popped in at Red House for their topless weekend promo. It was around 20:30 and I was surprised by the lack of customers. I only saw two other customers. Whereas my past visits to the club were when they were very busy and I was Mr. Invisible, now with the lack of customers I had plenty of attention. All good and I enjoyed my time there, but only stayed for one drink as the lack of sleep the previous night was catching up with me. BTW, a distinction without a difference; topless weekend has the ladies walking around topless, but with silicone pasties over their nipples. With a purchase of a LD, the pasties come off.

My contribution to the moray fan club below. Family vacation in Key Largo. Crap pics since they were taken with a cheap point and shoot camera in a cheap watertight housing with no external flash. I remember a funny family moment on that dive trip. My son was diving with us and just before he pulled off his shirt to put on a shorty he says "dad, there's something I have to tell you". He then pulls off his shirt and says "I have a piercing". It was nipple piercing and my response was to laugh and tell him it's going to chaff on the wetsuit and the salt water is going to make that painful. I was right as he took it off after the first dive. I also remember on that trip I had to deal with my first air out situation. We had just started the dive and we were maybe 20 ft down when my son taps my arm and gives me the air out signal. My first thought was he was fcking around with me, but I saw he was serious so I gave him my octopus and made a controlled ascent. A non-event as this type of emergency should be. Turned out it was a short fill on the tank and I apologized to my son as it was my fault. Since I was his buddy on the dive it was my responsibility to double check his gear and I failed to confirm he had a full tank.

^^^ I've never seen anybody hitchhiking here before your post. I wonder if the Thai have any clue what the thumb out means?

What a load of crock. "increased humidity has intensified the haze", LOL. I know I'm repeating myself, but it's not open burning to blame around here for the unhealthy air, it's industrial and vehicle emissions. But hey, easier to ban open burning than address the real source of the problem. Edited to add: If I'm seeing readings of 126+ on my PM2.5 detector, and reports of the same on the iqair.com site, PCD is seriously underreporting the true PM2.5 readings in Bangkok.

I don't understand why reality TV shows are as popular as they are. My attitude is I get enough reality day to day, I don't need to waste my time watching "reality" on TV as well.

A lot of good the sign is doing. Just took the dogs for a walk and no less than three cars went to the end of the soi to discover they could go no further. This is after I made what I thought were good improvements to make the sign more visible. This morning I added reflective tape and solar powered flashing red LED lights. I checked and the lights are working, so my guess is drivers have their eyes focused on Google Maps instead of paying attention to what's in front of them. I'm thinking now of printing a poster size image of the picture below and hanging it below the dead end sign. That will surely get the driver's attention.
