Gralav's Law clearly states that as a ThaiVisa.Com forum discussion grows longer, the probability of someone saying "TIT, This Is Thailand" approaches 1.

:D

But that happens almost every year. Ratchadaphisek floods, the mouth of the lower Sois Sukhumvit flood, but they are quick receding (usually within a couple hours of the rain stopping).

The only difference is that it wasn't raining when this happened.

I guess this shows an increased flow in the sewage system under the roads.

OH!  I stand corrected, sir.

Then what you are seeing is exactly what I was talking about--something never seen beofre. Water coming out of the sewers there without a rainfall within an hour or two?! Wow.

Earlier today there was water coming up out of the drains on Sukhumvit Soi 23 by the Jasmine and 7/11 but it stopped after a while.

But that happens almost every year. Ratchadaphisek floods, the mouth of the lower Sois Sukhumvit flood, but they are quick receding (usually within a couple hours of the rain stopping).

I think we're in for something different, but again, no one seems to know what parts of central Bangkok SPECIFICALLY will flood.

I've lived here 9 years and the water that is coming down from the North has never come down like this before. I really don't think any of our past experiences are going to help predict what's going to happen.

BTW, if you don't like Pattaya, I'm in Phuket for the next couple days and there are no floods here...  :whistling:

I live on the "u" in Pathum Thani on that map just down & across the highway from Dreamworld. Still dry here somehow. The Dreamworld side of the canal isn't though afaik.
Ar you saying that Dreamworld has been flooded? Posted Image I had plans on going there on sunday.


I think you probably ought to change your plans. In fact, no one should probably make plans to go to Pathum until this has passed. The flooding around Future Park makes for insane travel through there. As in, it took me 1 hour to get from Zeer Rangsit to Future Park.

Are there any users actually in Bankgok? I keep hearing about the disaster happening but never see pictures. Pictures please.

I was there a couple days ago but had a scheduled trip to Phuket. I'll be back Sunday.

I have some pictures but nothing too dramatic. Here's a link to a friends facebook album with some he took up in Pathum Thani. I don't know his security settings and whether you can see them or not, but you can try.
