In Topic: Where Is It Flooding ?

2011-11-06 14:15:44

Ladprao Road between Union Mall and Ratchada has about 20-30cm on the road. Despite reading reports that the road was closed, cars, trucks and buses are still using it. The pavement has water on it and motorcycle taxis are using the sidewalk wherever possible to and from the subway. Some sub-sois on Ladprao are still dry while others are not.
Phahonyothin road outside Central is about 30-40cm deep on the road. I saw a couple of boats passing by so that tells you how deep it is. You can walk on the pavements but it is knee high in places.

I live 50 M from Lat Phrao MRT 21station.  I have been in Chiang Mai for a week since they kept saying Chatuchuk was to be flooded. I understand it flooded yesterday from watching TV-but also saw a conflicting post Chumpol (ny sub-district) not flooded yet.  Can anyone verify this?

My flight returns Monday and am concernced I may have to extend if this MRT station closes probably can't get taxi to take me home from the airport. Will need to change my flight and probably my hotel as they said they are booked so I can't stay past Sunday. Thanks.

I live in the same area as yourself. Ladprao Road around Big C isn't too bad. It is however flooded at the Union Mall end and at the Ladprao/Ratchada intersection. I think the area won't suffer badly from the floods but it may get marooned between Ratchada and Vipavadee roads. MRT is still open today, but I can't see it staying open if the flooding gets any worse.

Can anyone confirm how much of area around Central lad Prao is flooded and how deep?

Is Chatuchak/MoChit flooded? there is some warning.

I live Vipavadee 16 which is almost at Sutthisan--opposite Thai Rath. I am out of town but need to get home. If I can.

Eddy

it is at the main junction and has not moved along Phahonyothin towards the Market as Chatuchak yet, what I saw this morning on VR in the bus was depths of about ankle to mid way between ankle and knee height closer to the area around Horwang. My office is opposite St Johns so waiting to see what happens

The small khlong between Ladprao 18 and Vipavadee 20 is beginning to overspill. The mooban next to the Khlong will be flooded very shortly.

I've got this free cable(charoen) in my apartment. Was flicking through it looking for something to watch earlier and came across St Mirren v Hibs live. It was on a channel called CTH. I was pleased that I'd found it but after watching about 10 mins of it, I remembered how bad our game is and watched something else.

It was hard to miss the bunnies, they were everywhere!

Not sure about the role of the Bangkok Glass superhero ...

Fair play to him. I would dress up in a superhero outfit if I could dance with the bunnies.
