Zeb Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Also New Plaza had non nightlife businesses long before beer bars. Err when it was a "New Plaza" I recall buying movies on CD's etc plus various bits and pieces of software in Soi New Plaza prior to Central Plaza construction starting. Maybe the move of Beer Bars to Mit & Soi New Plaza happened around the same time ? Also does anyone know if the land on which the road of Soi MiT at the 2nd Road end of MiT, is public land or is it also private land? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember sitting in NP having a beer discussing the MIT changing from shopping market to beer bars but for the life of me I can't place when. One thing I am pretty sure about is that the vlogger wasn't drinking in MIT bars before 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Pics of the clearing of MIT bar complex from this morning. And something I haven't seen in months, parasailing. It didn't look like the flattop launch platforms were in operation, so this might have been just someone out for a bit of fun. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I am pretty sure about is that the vlogger wasn't drinking in MIT bars before 2000. This has got my memory getting confused as well!. There were definitely possibly two or three bars opposite where Central is now, back in 2000 ish, but to the best of my knowledge, the MIT complex was, then, a great place to get moody T shirts, jeans and other tat for bringing home. The bars were I think, roughly opposite to what is now the car park exit road of Central. Central was started around 2005/6? or rather the area cleared prior to that as I recall a trip in 2007 when me and a mate watched the construction going on from a bar across the road. To be honest my memory is bollocksed from around that time, as I was entering my "GoGo" phase and out of my "beer bar" phase. Apologies for any inconsistencies or confusion. Any speculation on where these bars (if any are left) are migrating to?. Of course a lot of space in Tree Town, plus Soi 7 looking like the middle section could do with a bit of investment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Work has restarted on the Jomtien beach expansion project. What's surprising is I didn't see any sand bag reinforcements going in like they did on the Pattaya beach project. It'll be interesting to see how long the expanded beach holds up to tidal action and strong side onshore winds. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 I sighted this during the morning walk this morning. The owner is no doubt trying to make a point but I am not sure what that point is? The message on the wind screen does not assist. Two other people took photographs whilst I was there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
