Thanks Scott, very useful for me (and no doubt others!) - I was wondering how I can get to BKK from Nimitmai Road, since north and south from Hat Thai Mit is no-go. But seems that getting on the 9 highway at Ramindra near Fashion Island will be OK from your report. I would be coming from the east-west road running past Safari World, so I wondered if your school was north of the Panya Indra junction (ie you turned left on to Pharaysuren )?
If you do check out Ku Bon area, that would be great for alot of members, I know some have asked for it - but I was also wondering what the small road is like that runs parallel to 9 and goes down to Fashion Island (ie turn left before going under the 9 bridge down towards Wat Kubon).
Will eagerly await your update after you clock out :-)
Hop u get back home OK!
cheers
Can you

I posted earlier that Suwintawong (Highway 304) is waist deep. Just went down and checked--it's at least chest deep and all traffic has ceased--even the biggest, highest trucks are completely absent. There is an area of about 2 kilometers from the Ramkamheng intersection past Nong Chok turn off that is prone to water, after that I have no idea. The water is also flowing--I don't know where, but it seems to be moving somewhat quickly, so no longer wise to try and get through it unaided.

morning all, north east ish of bangkok the lam luk ka road khlong 4, next to the number 9 outer ring road, the water is still going down , i can see no correlation between the opening and closing of the now infamous gates , been going down steadily for 4 days now , i am no expert here , only from what i have seen with my own eyes, and the great posts on this thread.its like a big wave that is in slow motion, do you try and stay a head of the wave, or do you double back on it as i did while you still can.anyway of topic, sorry,news in short , khlong 4 lam luk ka road, down again this morning
Update from Nimit Mai Road (Klong Samwa)
South from the junction with Hat Thai Mit (HTM, where the infamous Klongsamwa sluice gate is located) is all flooded down to the Suwintawong junction, only high trucks can get through. Then again Nimit Mai north of HTM junction after about 1km is also flooded up to Lam Luk Ka. Only dry part is between the 2 klongs going west-east (which is the flow of the water currently) just north of HTM (from Soi 40 north its flooded badly).
Water still rising in this area, but very slowly. If things are going down where "scott1999" is, then should hopefully mean that the water east of him will also be going down and thus flow past HTM junction within 4-5 days (???).

Nice of them to send the water racing down the khlong to Khu Bon.
Out of interest, how does water from Klong Sam Wa/Hat Thai Mit get to Khu Bon? I thought Khu Bon was due west of there and fed from Klong Phraya Suren, directly south of Sai Mai?
Wat Khu Bon is flooded according to scott1999. I spoke to him last night. He lives in the area. He said he would do a recon in the area to check out our soi and post pics later if he can.
Just hope he is OK.
Yeh, I seen that one, and this klong actually started running east 2 days ago, quite fast too, whereas normally it is fairly static. I has assumed that if the gates at HTM were closed, then the water would therefore spread east and west along this klong, as nowhere else to go (apart from the fields around HTR and Nimitmai) - so any gate opening ceremony might actually lessen the impact in Khu Bon, as the water will flow in a straight line down to Minburi, rather than doing a right/left turn.
But I'm no water expert.........!
