forcebwithu Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Five days ago the 7-11 construction site was a stack of 7-11 parts. And today the site looks like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painter Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I had reports a couple of days ago from a well dressed gentleman of the two overgrown sites on soi casino, and one on soi 15, having been cleared. Today's reports say they have been planted with, er, plants, so appear unlikely to be used for building work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I passed by last night it looked like it was open, but could have been staff training. If they put out balloons for their opening it should be quite the party with Nirun next door.

forcebwithu Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) 9 July the site for the new 7-11 looked like this And one month later the 7-11 is open for business. Unfortunately for the balloon chasers, no balloons and no freebies for the grand opening. Edited August 9, 2020 by forcebwithu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Quite the building project going on at the Soi Xzyte grounds. A couple of weeks ago a worker told me it was a market. I'm wondering if they might be moving the Tues/Fri Buakhao market to this site. Would also be a good location for a Tree Town Two. I'm curious as to what this stretch of concrete will be used for. Whatever they intend it'd better be light use as they're only putting down a thin layer of concrete with no rebar reinforcement. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 Heading home saw these guys walking the roof panel up the roof girders. No safety ropes in sight. There's a bit of breeze blowing right now, so half expected a gust to fling the panel and them along with it off the roof. A couple of the Thai neighbors were out watching the spectacle, and I expect they were thinking the same. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Not sure how long this sign has been up, but now we know what's planned for the Xzyte grounds and what the finished product is supposed to look like. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont quite get it are the small building ment to replace a outdoor market?..... Problems I see #1 Soi Excite is not a popular Soi for much of anything.....#2 rent would be way higher for the vendors...

Perhaps the guests at the LK President didn't dig Soi Buakhao Market and Soi Chaiyaphool, to spend all there monies they've earned on NYC Police retirement pension funds and other local Govt, funds invested in the Shanghai Stock Market....something more upmarket needed.....lol.....Little update from this morning....... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWA Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Not going to be much to see behind Maxx Central now until they take the wrapping off. Also heard of another 711 under way in Soi Yume. Might have to take a walk along there soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 More structures going up at the Xzyte Food Center. Same at the future food market next to Nirun. This is probably only a small percentage of the dead lines they've removed on Buakhao. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
