Thai logic broke through when they realised it was easier to depart without having to reverse into the ongoing traffic !

Last night around 1 AM the busses were loading close to Pattaya Tai. It's possible that they use a different late at night or perhaps they reverted to the old system.

It seems that during the day the baht busses load at the front of the line but at some point at night they load at the rear maybe starting around 11PM.

A major part of Jomtien Beach Road will transform temporarily into a one-way street starting in early March of this year to facilitate a landscape improvement project.

The one-way plan was declared yesterday, January 4th, during a meeting of Pattaya City authorities.

Chaired by Deputy Mayor Mr. Kritsana Bunsawat, the authorities resolved to turn Jomtien Beach Road one-way from the Pattaya Police Station’s Khong Dong Tan Office to the Chaiyaphruek Service Center on Jomtien Beach.

The transformation’s purpose is to facilitate an installation of underground pipes, relocation of structures and utilities, and construction of a new drainage system.

The construction project will begin at the beginning of March 2024, divided into four phases spanning from the SCB bank to the Pattaya Police Station’s Khong Dong Tan Office and the Chaiyaphruek Service Center, as well as the area around Wat Mai Hat Krathing Thong, Jomtien Sai 2 Road, and the boat ramp near D Varee Jomtien Beach Hotel.

A Thai hairdresser in Jomtien found himself in an unusual situation after an angry Russian customer took a razor from him and shaved part of his hair following a misunderstanding during a haircut.


According to reports, Mr. Supachai Maneecharoen, a 32-year-old hairdresser from Nakhon Si Thammarat, was cutting the hair of a male Russian customer on January 25th when the incident occurred. Due to language barriers, the customer used hand gestures to communicate his desired hairstyle. Mr. Supachai, believing he understood the instructions, proceeded with the haircut. However, towards the end of the haircut, the customer allegedly became dissatisfied and slammed his hand on the table, startling everyone in the shop.

In a surprising turn of events, the Russian customer reportedly snatched a razor from the table and quickly shaved a section of Mr. Supachai’s head before fleeing the salon on a motorcycle. The Thai hairdresser, shaken by the experience, reported the incident to the Pattaya Police Station.

“I’ve been a hairdresser for over seven years, and this has never happened before,” Mr. Supachai stated. “Despite the shock, I remained calm and hope the customer will come forward to apologize and explain his actions.”

Mr. Supachai later decided to shave his head after the incident.

Police have obtained CCTV footage from the salon, which reportedly shows the entire incident. An investigation is currently underway to identify the customer and determine the appropriate course of action.

So is the Palace Bar a lb bar? Does it have regular shows?

Palace is a bar in the Jomtien Complex/Supertown/Jomtien Walking Street area.  Three different names.  Think the shows are Wed, Fri, and Sat.  Maybe Sunday, not sure.

By far better than the other cabaret shows in the Jomtien Complex. For comparison Best Bar. less than a minute away has a boring old style cabaret show with the old style costumes, poor song selection played on substandard speakers with mp3s probably ripped from Youtube with an inferior bitarte.

OTOH Palace is a party, very interactive and great fun.  Warning, the crowd might be too gay for some of you guys.  :homoswitch:.

Spot on, it is a regular holiday resort cabaret with lots of power ballads, feathers and Proud Mary of course:)

Certainly this is next level stuff, full of energy and originality.  Well worth checking, they had a bigger troupe last night than on Friday.  Regarding the gay guys, I remarked to Pdoggg at one stage should we be happy or pissed off that none of them saw us worthy of any attention :)
