Sea-Hawks Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 ...thanks for posting so many pictures. I am planning a side trip to CM later this winter. Found out that they fly directly in CM, so may do that and work my way down south to Pattaya with stops in UT & KK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john luke Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 If this is part of the Harry Bakery on Soi Buakow and the bread is fresh this could be good for me. This branch of Kiss Food and Drink sadly closed at the moment. Family Mart open. Mai Thai Restuarant - looking good for Sunday or Monday evening. Grab delivery drivers waiting. Building work supported by the street food sellers. La Baguette - confirmed open on the way back. Onto Terminal 21 Best Supermarket - note the absence of overhead electricity cables Dolphin Circus - unchanged. Food sellers at the entrance to Dusit Thani 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john luke Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 Down and along Beach Road towards Soi 6, including the new yellow water pumps. Thai Air appear to have vacated. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 Electronic thermometer fitted in a number of shops. One holds hand near to thermometer and it shouts out normal temperature. This one in local 7 11. Also one at entrance to condo supervised by security officer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 ^^^ Interesting to see Pattaya through the eyes and camera of someone who hasn't been here for awhile. Temp sensors are now ubiquitous at every shop and store. Notice too the paper log books with a pen that everyone can share to log their comings and goings at shops if they choose to do so. Fortunately that part is rarely enforced. One thing I noticed the other day that wearing a mask when out and about has become so ingrained that when I forget to put a mask on before I head out I stop and think, what am I forgetting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillow Biter Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Very nice pics but eery at the same time with the lack of people . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) How the heck did they get that 747 there?. Bit of a daft question, obviously. Great walkabout JL, very eerie as already mentioned. The pic which really does it for me is the lottery ticket seller. Edited June 12, 2021 by Butch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillearly Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 How's Soi 6/1 doing JL , have Striderman and Soi 7 kept it going ? 😉 great pics as usual , think this will be a great thread 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumper63 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Great walk about John. It's good to see what the streets look like today. Like most BMs.... l miss not being there. I am very envious of you sir. Look forward to many many more photos. Thank you so much for putting a smile on my face and a little warmth in me heart. All my best wishes to you and Misses JL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post john luke Posted June 13, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2021 Onto Walking Street. No commentary really necessary. My only observation is that some bars are closed but seem maintained ready for opening at some time in the future; others seem simply abandoned. Finally all trips to Walking Street should end at Le Pub.🙂 6 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Great pics JL, thanks for taking the time to post them. Walking St seems to be a right state, I think @Jambo mentioned it elsewhere, I take it that's civil engineering works and not a pre cursor to ripping the place up?. Saddens me to see the beer bars with the seats turned up on the bar, we're pushing mid way through 2021 now, the place has been closed for over a year (save for a temporary opening), and the damage is easily visible. If you'd told me these pics were taken at 0700 on a Buddha Holiday, it would be believable, but mid week / weekend even during a low season in non covid times would still have more movement and there would still be signs of some life.

They are laying new under ground cables, it's an ongoing project to remove all of the above wiring. It is a sorry sight right now but after the work and when things open back up, hopefully it will return to something like it's former glory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the removal of that wiring from sight, it will immediately look a lot better (as well as being a lot safer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post john luke Posted June 13, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2021 From this afternoon. The Avenue, Soi Buakow, Soi Pothole, Tree Town and then a visit to Le Pub, where I met a Youtube pool, table tennis and karaoke superstar. Caught in Le Pub during a very heavy rain storm. I was also very tactful and did not mention WBA. 🙂 Nice to meet you @misteregg. Even saw a big Harley Davison and posted for BM @galenkia. 11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
