« Poo Restaurant | Main | Great place to stay 5 mins from Suvarnabhumi »
Just got back from a 5 day stay in Pattaya. Nothing much to report, my partying days are pretty much over now Aiden is keeping me up awake... Drinking and getting up three times a night don't bode well for a fruitful day, so I'm kinda turning boring in my old age.
Just a couple of shots I took on the motorway heading back to Bangkok... Traffic chaos as usual on the roads, three separate crashes on this occassion -
- evidently these Thai drivers just can't stop rear-ending each other!

Ben isn't there a lot of rear ending in Pattaya as well.

I think that's probably a safe bet Martyn :D

Ben trust Martyn to beat me to that one liner!
I was coming down Highway 4 from Kuiburi the other day and spotted a cracker wedged between two trees in the central reservation(Pit trap).
Looked like it had been dropped there by a crane.

Indeed Mike, Martyn got there about a second after I clicked 'post' - He's unstoppable ;)
Haha! - sounds like it would make a great photo...! Hope everyone survived etc.

Hey Ben,
The good news is that eventually Aiden will sleep through the night...the bad news is that you'll continue to get older :>) Seriously though, I sympathize with you, fortunately for Golf and I Alivia has only been getting up 1-2 times through the night although she is an early riser too which doesn't mesh well with our night owl lifestyle.

Thanks Steve, Aiden isn't bad, but he has culled off the night owl in me for the time being ;)

Driving on Thai roads is a steady ride of amusement and 'head shaking in unbelieve'

You gradually become used to it, eh Camille... When I go back to the UK, the driving seems half sensible these days..
Having said that, I can't mount the kerb when stuck in traffic, or reverse down a motorway, or drink 8 bottles of chang and drive home etc etc

Good thing it wasn't you getting rear ended. Very few things scare me anymore but driving and crossing the streets in Thailand are definitely high on the list.

Indeed Talen the Thai roads are a crazy place at the best of times
Posted by: Ben Shingleton | June 22, 2010 at 01:44 AM
Oh, I think I have to be careful in driving in going to Thailand.

Ben have you spilt some Beer Chang over your keyboard or perhaps head butted your monitor after England's sad and sorry exit from the World Cup. Bloody Germans.
You haven't posted for a while. Wakey wakey.

Thanks for the wake up Martyn, will shortly :)
