    Walk along Dongtan Beach....Thursday December 20

    Walked along Dongtan Beach from the chairs where I sit on the beach...opposite Tuis Place Hotel.

    Some changes seen...

    .....The beach 5 baht toilets are being completely rebuilt...long overdue. And no sight of "5 Baht Mary" who for many many years collected the fee to use the toilets...or 10 baht Shower.

    .....The Room Club Hotel next to Tuis Hotel...appears to be Closed

    .....The former Bondi Hotel is still Closed.. Sadly. and for sale at 42 Million Thai baht.

    .....The beach vendors are still Closed every Wednesday...for cleaning the beach...but in fact NO cleaning is done according to vendors...

    I passed the toilet block outside between Tui's and Ritt's chairs just 20 minutes ago. The area is still fenced off but (1) (re?)roofing is not yet completed and there is as yet no guttering for rainwater drainage in place, (2) outside walls only partially replastered, (3) absolutely no fixtures and fittings have yet been positioned inside, (4) there was no work going on at all as I passed by. The block certainly won't be ready, I'd have thought, by the New Year. Thank goodness that Tui's still allows use of its facilities for 10B.
    "The fruits of peace and tranquility... are the greatest goods... while those of its opposite, strife, are unbearable evils. Hence we ought to wish for peace, to seek it if we do not already have it, to conserve it once it is attained, and to repel with all our strength the strife which is opposed to it. To this end individual[s]... and in even greater degree groups and communities are obliged to help one another... from the bond or law of human society." [Marsilio dei Mainardini (c.1275-1342), Defensor Pacis]

    42 million baht?! What a joke! No mystery then it is still closed.
