It's pain in the a*** and has been since before the lock- down. The road improvements are never-ending, resulting in queues and hold-ups all day, but particularly in the late afternoon/evening when we are trying get into Pattaya for dinner. And paying extra for a taxi (200 to 300 bht) doesn't help- it just makes the frustration more comfortable.

However, so what? we're in Pattaya and Jomtien, our favourite places . So we just put up with it!
