Thanks Kevin – Nice warning— If you visit Thailand, or for that matter any place, scams are always present. But remember, giving is a act of the soul. Merit is not dependent on what happens to the gift, nor who the receiver is. Giving is a internalized demonstration of faith that God will and does supply all we need. We need not hoard, but can share our blessings.

A 10 year old Irish boy stands crying at the side of the road. a man passing by asks ‘What’s wrong, lad?’
The boy says ‘Me ma died this morning’
‘Oh be jaysus,’ the man says. ‘Do you want me to call Father O’Riley for you?’
The boy replies, ‘No tanks mister, sex is the last ting on my mind at the moment.’

You can find him at “The Blue House†on Soi Day/Night behind Tukcom. or for a private massage at your Condo call him at 089 043 8939.
He’s a little shy but promised to pose for some more erotic images – stay tuned.

Using Google Earth for the area image and Photoshop to impress the Grande Caribbean Pattaya Facilities drawing – I placed a red sight line from my condo to the construction area. This is what you are seeing in the photos about the crane and others which have been posted following the construction. Check out their website for full details about the new complex. As we approach final construction I will get some ground level shots of the facilities.

I was watching and photographing as they installed another crane in the building site for the new Grand Caribbean Condo Resort – Pattaya
Take a close look at the new small crane on the middle left of the photos. That’s the one they were putting up today and with a storm brewing. In the second image you can see one of the guys who was installing it – way out on the edge of the arm, two others were crawling around the center mast. And I was astounded that he had no harness, secure rope or safety equipment, and was barefoot to boot, I suppose that would be better than flip-flops. Here’s the close-up as he was walking back in. Unbelievable
You’d sure as hell never see this in the States – the inspector and Unions would have a shit fit. But alas, that’s working in Thailand.
Glad I’m retired.

This is the new Slideshow HTML Gallery format. I believe it will show up better on mobiles and iPads - At least I hope so. Please comment if it is not working for your device. Images are random ones posted before for something to use in testing. I am also going to test including videos to Gallerys. vi

Boy-O-Boy, was I wrong – I just had breakfast with a friend visiting from Chiang Mai and his description of Loy Krathong at Jomtien Beach was the exact opposite of what I expected. He, Kevin, said that this proved to be the best Loy Krathong he has ever attended since moving to Thailand – Wow – – and I stayed home and got no photos. Damn ‘it, I shouldn’t be so pre-judgmental and lazy. - just go – if it’s bad, don’t post – if it’s good then I have the images. I hope I can learn this lesson if I want to become a true photographer.
I also missed the “Miss Mimosa†pageant held on Loy Krathong night – some lovely girls were there. Winner Ms. Nong Nut got 100,000 Baht. Here’s a write up and video from “Pattaya Peopleâ€.
I’m getting sloppy – sorry.

On the 14th we had a little thunderstorm, quite spectacular actually, I tried to catch the fury but most of the images were completely over-exposed because the lightning was so close that the radiant light was just too strong and over-powered the camera. I did manage a couple of good images at the tail end of the storm when it was well over Chonburi to the north. That’s about 30 Km away. This is a composite of those images.

“Loi Krathong takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional and they do this all evening on the 12th month Thai lunar calendar. In the western calendar this usually falls in November.†This year Nov, 17th, 2013.
This year I’m staying home and not going to celebrate at the beach – I really miss the pageantry in Chiang Mai and the floating the krathongs on the Ping river. It was always a lot of fun and great crowds. But this year I’m not ready to brave the flood of mostly Russian tourist that will be flocking to Jomtien Beach – not knowing what it is all about – just making a lot of noise. Much different that Chiang Mai which is almost all Thais.
But for good news, I just got a absolutely wonderful oil massage, best I’ve had since ‘Khun Pea’ in Chiang Mai. Khun Lek came to my condo and gave me a superior 90 min Oil massage – and we have set a repeating date for the future. He has also agreed to model for some photos – and I will be posting his mobile number and contact information shortly. Very handsome young man with a super figure and smile – stay tuned for some great images and how you can contact him for a great massage.
AGAIN: Happy Loy Krathong, – Yi Peng.

I just heard some disturbing news, at least to me. The Apple products, iPad, iPhone, and iPod will not work with Adobe products. Not owning any Apple products, I have never thought about this problem and just set my blog up with slideshows made with Lightroom using Adobe Flash. Most of my Model and other posts have slideshows, over 8,000 images on the Blog, all in Flash Slideshows.
Maybe iSwifter can come to the rescue – it’s free and states that it can show Adobe Flash on the iPad – for now maybe this would work. Since I don’t have a iPad I can’t check it out. It would be almost impossible for me to convert the old slideshows to another format.
I am going to redesign my slideshows to eliminate Flash – from checking the web, I think Adobe is or has pulled the Flash Player from Google Play store and intends to go to HTML5 for mobile platforms rather than Flash – more research if I want my Blog to be readable by all - Shit, problem, problems, problems.
