It looked like something similar to Boots PR spray which is a very cool pain killer spray. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcrawler Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I would have loved to have taken part....... Handing out drinks, of course to the runners. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a search after posting the question and came up with several hits that explains how the cooling spray can be used for muscle aches and pains. Here's one such link. https://www.chicagomarathon.com/runners/training-program/biofreeze/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Great pics, thanks @john lukefor posting them up. Props to anyone completing a marathon anywhere, let alone Pattaya, it is bloody hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john luke Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 The whole of this site is now open; the golden statues have had a face lift and are looking good. The secondary site and gardens is now open but very much overgrown and in need of maintenance. The sites are still free. Whilst there were quite a few people present the level of visitors was nowhere near the pre Covid level; most visitors appear to be either Thai or from other Asian Countries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john luke Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 The Pattaya Bay view point was quite busy, but again not at pre covid levels. The afternoon was mostly sunny; it was a relatively clear afternoon and I was pleased with the photographs taken across Pattaya Bay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I watched a couple of U-Tube videos last night on Pattaya and there seems to be many new bars etc up and running and lots of pussy. Seems an excellent time to visit as what was all too apparent is the fact that many did not look busy at all. I hope it is not the same old story of too many bars etc chasing the same diminished number of visitors? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around Bukhao / TT / LKM there doesn't seem to be much of a young crowd in the bars either. Very possibly the cost of flights is putting most travellers off. Guys who would budget for 2 weeks and factor in a £400 - £500 air fare in that are now finding they have to pay double, in addition to rising costs at home. For example, for me to get to LHR and back it's going to cost over £300+ by Taxi, or it's £250 plus fuel costs for parking. The train is the next cheapest option, but 2 hrs to London plus associated faff with luggage across town means I turn up for the flight stressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think it went from Liverpool St direct to LHR T2, I thought there's a change at paddington. I didn't know if it was fully open yet either (spend very little time in London as it is). Definitely worth investigating, my only slight doubt would be , as previously mentioned, if the thing is actually running and if ASLEF or the RMT are not striking again. It could reduce my costs getting there somewhat. Edited July 30, 2022 by Butch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
