Le Cafe Royal and the prospects for Boyztown

[gerefan2]

Last night the Ambiance receptionist told me the Cafe Royale was closed for refurbishment.

There are now lorry loads of sand and aggregate in the corner of the Boyztown soi. The bars are operating normally, except for the lack of space for outside tables.

Just to give members an idea of the extent of the works I went and took theses pics this afternoon, Saturday 3 Feb....

They were taken from the beginning of the connecting Soi where Cupidol is. Cupidol and Panorama on the right and BBB on the left.

The main Soi is still mainly clear....

Do you know what I think they're up to? They're about to begin work on the Pattaya Metro! Look at the size of these tunnels. The tube (we call it the subway) tunnels in Glasgow are not much more in circumference than those sections of tunnel in the photo.

"Next stop, Cupidol. Mind the crap between the platform and the train! I wonder what they'll call the stations. Perhaps the names of some of London's tube stations will inspire them, not necessarily to adopt the same names per se, but rather to play around with them.....
Cockfosters? (What an invitation)!
Shepherd's 'Bush' (eh, no thanks).
Ladbroke(aren't they all?) Grove.
Parson's Green (with envy, having seen the bishop's organ)
Bond(age) Street
Upmin(is)ster

Any more?


Thanks for taking the photo today, Gerefan 2.

Giving a wholly new mean to the phrase "going down in Pattaya"
