Thailand Floods of 2018
Re: Thailand Floods of 2018
I think it is the same all over HH. The overnight stuff wasn't too bad, but at about 9am (Soi 88 anyway), it just came down for about 30-45 minutes. Drains and pipes that were coping just failed. Large amounts of run off water and flooding. Don't remember such a sudden surge, almost flash flood type.stuff, in my 12 years plus
Re: Thailand Floods of 2018
OK, I had no intention of doing yet another 'Dashcam Flood Video' when I set out to do my 90 day report, but Soi Mae Kep 5 amazed me - I've never seen flooding there before. I wonder if it's anything to do with the development taking place on the East side of the road? Anyway, I enjoyed it.
Nereus, I think it was you asking where the Circle was. If you look from about 4:00, you'll see me sailing up and mooring alongside what has to be the world's largest 20 Baht shop just inside the entrance to the Circle.

Hmm, thanks very much, but the tape ends at 4.45!Nereus, I think it was you asking where the Circle was. If you look from about 4:50

Not good for many of the smaller cars driving around in water like that. Ingress into wheel bearings and brake pads can lead to early and dangerous failures.

Sorry, should have been 4:00 - post amended.

Re: Thailand Floods of 2018
This afternoon I'm hoping to drive a sedan to Thap Tai up soi 112. Is the road passable? There's a flood at the mini roundabout? With thanks.
Re: Thailand Floods of 2018
Ok, thanks. Is it that big building with curved roof?

Yep, getting walloped again down here.

It must be getting worrying for you guys down South. What was a once every 20 year event now happens once or twice each year.

Re: Thailand Floods of 2018
I've seen it much worse here than now and most of the floods drain away quite quickly unlike a few years ago.
Re: Thailand Floods of 2018
I agree, the authorities have done a phenomenal job with drains. Just need to learn how to keep them unblocked now.
