Five days ago the 7-11 construction site was a stack of 7-11 parts. And today the site looks like this.

7-11 construction update

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.

Behind Maxx Central.  That's as high as it's going to get I think.

Soi X Zyte this morning.....

Just been told that this one the one just 50 meters away and the one 100 meters further up Arunothai are owned by the same family. reminds me of the town i lived in in the US 4 McDonalds all owned by a husband and wife team.

So 7-11*3

The finishing touches, and stocking the new 7-11 today.

And just up the soi work is progressing slowly on another market next to Nirun.

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. 

Still full steam ahead opposite Central.....

 

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.

Balloons were on the inside.

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.

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. 

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.

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.......

 

Framing for the new market next Nirun going up.

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.

With so many building projects, I sometimes wonder where the finance comes from. Presume all looking for a profitable return.

Tiny up date on Sai 3..south end......

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.

A tiny update on  forcebwithu latest snaps of the old X Zyte old area this morning......

Could be going on here soon, hoardings going up at the top of Soi 15.......
