biggles Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Well worth a visit. An overcast day is best tho they do have umbrellas you can use. Met some of my girls Filipina GF there who all enjoyed it. Great spot for selfies..... One girl took 142 photos, tho not as good as yours John.

john luke Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Whilst I have covered the Made in Thailand Beer Bar Complex previously, as I was passing today I saw a significant amount of demolition work taking place. The roofs were being taken down and metal supports were also being dismantled and removed. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freee!! Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 It is well worth a visit, but there is dual pricing unless they raised admittance for Thai to THB 300. Several years ago I visited there with my Vietnamese fiancée (current wife) and I paid something like THB 450 as they assumed she was Thai. After we were in, some supervisor came after us and asked whether my fiancée was Thai and we admitted she wasn't. She told us we would have to pay extra as she wasn't Thai and I told her they should have asked at the entrance. She got quite upset and I told her to either get the police or take a hike. Never saw the police. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 When I set off for this morning's walk, I had no plan, aims or objectives. So here goes. The crash helmet has been in situ here for around a week. Harry's Bakery - I try to support local business. Excellent bread and Danish pastry. The Loma Market has suffered; from a busy night market and quite busy daytime market there are now about four stalls operating. La Baguette - Old established and certainly does not appear to be suffering. Some time ago, Social Media was referring to a ban on passenger in the back of pick ups. The new car park at Terminal 21 is progressing. Do not drink and drive. Hotel quiet. Often some nice looking cars outside. At the virtual 'coffee and cap' club meeting yesterday the topic of open bars present a lower risk of Covid 19 transmission than enclosed bars; it seems unlikely that too many open bars will remain open. Korean Square - plenty of cars visiting here last night. Lisa Bar being refurbished, but little recent progress. China Town, Soho Square New hotel in Soi 6(1) Ladyboy Row. Lisa Bar in Soi 6 is for sale. A few shots from the beach. Nong Nooch have opened a shop for sales. Massage lady awaits you. For hire. Saw the smoke from the main road; wondered if it was anything major. It wasn't. Thai workers off to work as per normal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john luke Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Tree Town Road works Second Road near Soi 15. Filter plant near Walking Street. Soi 8. Not a very positive picture. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john luke Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 No aim or objectives for this morning's walk. There is a conspiracy theory that the Covid Vaccine makes you turn green. The Wig Centre has closed. The shop has not been taken over but a new business appears to have been set up on the frontage. Saw this near Tuk Com. A large cuddly penis. Action Street looks as if it could be opened, when restrictions end, with little effort. Look at the empties in tree town. Lottery day approaches. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 I think I may have to change the title of this thread as I do seem to feature many abandoned premises and premises in the process of demolition. I posted some photographs yesterday of Made in Thailand; whilst passing today the speed in which the demolition is going on surprised me. Anyway todays shots are below. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john luke Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 The night market, located on Second Road almost opposite Central Festival was open, but I would say that less than 25% of the stalls were occupied. That said there was a variety of different items on sale; probably same variety of goods available, just fewer outlets selling them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 A grey and misty day today, but still very warm. Although we dine in Terminal 21 at least twice per week, I have not done a thorough run through with the camera. Shopping Malls seem to have become a little contentions in some parts of the forum, so below are a few samples. A thread covering Terminal 21 in detail is linked as below; it may or may not interest everyone. https://www.thailand-247.com/topic/4891-terminal-21/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty quiet though not by any means deserted. Photographs probably make it look quieter; I will not take pictures of people going about their everyday shopping and dining. Several shots I had to wait for people to move on but rarely more than a minute or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
