Pumpuynarak Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Great pics John TFP. Wifey and i are frequent visitors for a couple of hours on our trips, its a great place to walk about and view the stunning workmanship. Question - I wonder if it suffers from termites ?

Derek Dangleberries Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Excellent photography! It must have been quite serene without the coach loads of package tourists being bustled around. Time to slowly view the artwork and reflect on the philosophy of human existence in relative silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. A similar situation at Mini Siam; I accept it is a different type of attraction. For most if not all of the time I was the sole visitor. I for one would willingly pay more it they set aside limited periods of time for groups of photographers or even singles. https://www.thailand-247.com/topic/4501-mini-siam-24062021/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's riding the exact model (Aerox) and color scheme that will be my next bike. Going tomorrow to make the purchase. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even says Honda on the front. I was looking too much at the color scheme rather than the other bike details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 From The Avenue through to Soi Buakhao. Overall conclusions are that the Bars are closed; other businesses are operating with a smaller customer base. The Avenue appears quieter this morning (1015 am) than it was last week. h 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 A walk past the shops\market on the road towards TukCom. Pook Plaza being re branded as The Warehouse. Viagara on sale for those without power. Has Chunky Monkey been sold; will it open as an up market restuarant? Finally today; bars are closed with the exception of those operating as restuarants/coffee shops etc. Areas where their is a high concentration of bars do look decimated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Soi 6 is pretty deserted due to its high concentration of bars which are now closed. A couple of restuarants are open. An array of impressive signs remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Walking Street is not looking good. My thoughts are that the area is just about all bars and clubs etc; no diversity and so the bar closure order hits all the premises there. It is a good time to refurbish the roads and overhead electric wires. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I do not disagree with your point regarding remedial work/essential maintenance, I do wonder whether the idea is to let the area deteriorate to such an. extent that it has to be totally redeveloped into a totally different type of area. Perhaps so or perhaps just a conspiracy theory 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
