MeMock 368 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 That wall is nice to see. When they originally painted the Kings artwork all along Uppalisan Road I got really excited, as I owned Peppers at the time and was sick of looking out at that dirty brown wall for 15 hours a day, 7 days a week! Everyday they got closer and closer and then they stopped - just shy of the shop! They said it was so the pilots would not get distracted (as the runway is immediately opposite and also the end that 90% of flights land). Anyway, nice to see that finally is getting something done because if a pilot is distracted by a painted wall then they are in the wrong job. Link to post Share on other sites

As another Peppers owner..hi chaps, I was told by an officer on the base the reason why the last section of the wall was not painted was because it was not appropriate for aircraft to fly directly over the Kings image hence it was white. I assume they are painting it out white again in preparation for new artwork. Hope so as it was nice to see. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
NiwPix 426 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Both versions ( flying over kings head and distraction ) are very....hmmm, can't think of a politically correct word for this right now The wall throws off a lot of glare now. I spoke with the main guy in charge yesterday and he said that it will stay white....no more paintings etc. Lets see what happens and how long it stays white. Link to post Share on other sites
DILLIGAD 3,705 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Maybe they will be gambling how many days before the first graffiti is in place? Link to post Share on other sites
Nuddy 299 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I think we just have to sort of accept that what they do here is never something we would do or at least we would not give out the excuse that are given. We = guys with white faces= I don't speak for everyone ...just assuming. Regards Link to post Share on other sites

NiwPix 426 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Thats good news . I have noticed that diagonally across of Home Pro / Central Plaza on the side of the Ratchathani University is something big going on. There were a few diggers ( I think that would be the english word for them ) and trucks transporting dirt. Anybody know anything? Link to post Share on other sites
ubonrthai 303 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 I was wondering about that too. Pretty big project. Link to post Share on other sites
MeMock 368 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Is that the site of the new hotel? Link to post Share on other sites
NiwPix 426 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Across the Provincial Electricity Authority Region 2 ( see attached map ) I assume your talking about the hotel south of Central Plaza...which seems to be almost finished. The spot I'm talking about is at the very beginning stage. Could me another big mall? Or maybe another giant Hardware store...we don't have enough here yet 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ubonrthai 303 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Any idea what they are doing along Sapasit by the mall? Link to post Share on other sites
NiwPix 426 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Been wondering about that one too. At first I thought they were working on implementing a sewer system ( they have some fairly large pipes laying around there ), since that area is prone to flooding. However, they have also been working on the land as well. Foodland or something like that maybe? Would be nice. Edit: Would be nice to get this Thread pinned.
