This morning I noticed a bad smell to the air and it's only gotten worse as the day drags on.

I wish the numbnuts with the high pressure PVC water guns would realize how dangerous they are. Even though the sale and use of them are supposedly banned you still see vendors walking around selling them. Photo Credit: TPN https://www.facebook.com/Thepattayanews/posts/1360892171346027

I was surprised I didn't see one vlogger last night. Perhaps security at the entrance was turning them away.

Good summary by Larry. I thought the place had a good vibe going and have come around to thinking the place stands a good chance of being a success. I suspect they'll have a problem with drink and dash customers as it's going to be very hard for the staff to keep a watchful eye on all their customers. Made harder by the fact there is nothing to distinguish one bart's bin from another bar. Unfortunately it's the staff who will have to cover the drink cost when a customer walks away without paying. And as Larry pointed out, their electric bill is going to be massive. Even more so as surprisingly they don't have an air curtain at the entrance. Something unique to the beer garden are dB meters at the front and two bars in on each side. At around 90 dB you could still carry on a converstation without having to shout.

I think the short lived thundershower that just moved through the area is all we're going to get for the rest of the day. Unfortunately it was so short lived, it only added a couple of cm's of water to my new, expanded capacity rain collection system.

^^^ I listen to one viral song from over a decade ago and now my YT recommend list is populated by covers of the same song. I have to admit, this one was quite good.

Nope. No figures standing outside this place.

A light rain shower just snuck up on me. Lasted all of 30 seconds before it ended. Hoping it's not just a tease and more will be on its way.

The only time of year one can honestly say they're happy to have a holiday away from Thailand. Safe travels.

@fforest, Hard to believe, there's a beach footpath with fewer trees than Pattaya's beach footpath.

For many, the sign on the post must mean no blue circles allowed rather than no waiting or parking.

Where was I?

The water madness has begun on Soi 7. I wonder if the bars on Soi 7 will see an uptick in business to justify what in my experience is the earliest start ever to the water madness. As they say, forewarned is forearmed. If you want to avoid getting drenched, Soi 7 is definitely the soi to avoid. Pictures of the war zone during a cease fire this morning.

Some stupid human tricks are just hilarious...

I was confused by what the map represented as well. Using Google Image search I see the heading was cropped out of the picture. Another version of the map without the country overlays. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Koppen-climate-classification-of-Australia-adapted-from-45_fig1_350760601

When I was installing my DIY garden shade canopy I was very aware how dangerous it was working around and over the wall spikes, and that was while I was using a ladder. Even in my most drunken state I would never attempt to climb over the wall. RIP to the guy.

It would appear there's no escaping obnoxious YouTubers, even on a plane. It's one thing to quietly and unobtrusively record one's experience while in their seat, but recording while you're suffling down the isle is bang out of order. My guess there are a fair number of people that tell these guys to point their camera elsewhere with polite and not so polite words, but they get edited out.

That doesn't instill confidence in the skill level at that dental clinic.

Back from a shopping run to Home Pro. During the day I use my bicycle for errands around town. Big mistake today as it's just too bloody hot out there to be doing anything remotely resembling exercise. Took a long, cold shower to get my body temp back down to normal.
