Looks like they are well drilling using the percussion cable tool method.

Re: Construction work in Thailand

I don't know what they're drilling but it seems to me like real hard work, especially with this heat and the lack of good tools...

I started to edit picture with select coloring and desaturation in photoshop elements 3 then add texture and frame in Folosketcher.

Here we have 34 Celsius all the time. But I managed to catch cold in one of their freezing stores (they use the air-con at full strength here ).
Hopefully the cold weather is over in Europe and North America (they had it real bad there, from what I saw on TV!).
All the best,
Sylvia

They probably don't. Maybe they just go home and jump into the nearest Clong, (stagnant watery ditch kind of thing).... Very nasty looking to us Westerners.

There are no klongs here in Pattaya, only in Bangkok. Jumping in the klong ?? It would be suicidal!
I'm sure a lot of Thai people don't have showers at home. They use these huge tanks and scoops. Not too practical, especially if you're covered with mud!
