-- My Enthusiastic & Am. Friend and I went-down to PATTAYA on
19 oct. and ret'd. to BKK. today,
22 oct..
-
19th. - Generally a few & sunny patches, cloudy to o'cast. with slight sea-breeze; dry;
20th.- O'cast.; hy. rain-storm around
17.hrs.;
21st.- As for
19th., scarcely a breath of wind on DONGTAN BEACH;
22nd.- Day began sunny bright with few clouds seen.
-- A few shops have built
3-4ft. high walls with gaps in for ent'ce./egress; quite a few shops along Beach & 2nd. rds. have stock-piled sand-bags - but the whole thing does look to be rather haphazard.
-- Chatted with a casual acquaintance from LAS VEGAS who gave us to u'stand. that on
16 oct. only
six customers in the concession roughly opp. to TUI's.,(has
blue & beach umbrellas with
red &
yellow edgings.); only a few MORE on the flg. mon. & tues.:
- In the neighboring & our concession, roughly opp. to AVALON HOTEL, and by the octagonal
hawng nahm, (
blue & beach umbrellas with
red & white trimmings.), v. many German-speakers - the '
Herrenvolk.'; the Russians prefered to be farther along & nearer to the tall tower with its
two cable-cars.
