One of my neighbours goes there to "sit in line" but he collects 4 sets of rations. For him, his wife and their 2 grandchildren. I am damn sure other heads of families do the same so when you see hundreds queueing, there are many more hungry at home waiting for handouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 I had the pleasure of meeting Steve Striderman this morning. One of the topics of conversation was that after a whilse one has seen just about everything and nothing is new. Whilst I know there has been reference to this development in other posts on the forum, this was the first time I had visited. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 An early morning visit to Naklua. Very little tourist type outlets so not hit as badly as other parts of Pattaya. I did not go into the sea food market but the car park shot show a noticeable lack of cars. The antique shop on Naklua Road showing the wooden statues is a place I have often passed on the baht but but this morning is the frst time I have actually walked from the condo to Naklua. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I lived on Koh Lanta the local guys would go out at night on paddle boards with a flashlight to catch pla meuk.

john luke Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 A few general shots around Naklua. The main reason for the visit this morning was to photograph some of the sea birds. I took a 150 - 600 Tamaron lens which is probably not of the best quality. Perhaps I should do a go fund me page to buy a better 600 mm lens. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 To my eternal shame there was very little walking during this morning's walk. I took that baht bus to the sea food market and then walked to the bridge, a little forther into Naklua. During previous visits I had never noticed these large sea birds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
