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.

Looks like about 30-40cm in some parts outside of Central Lad Prao.

Vihawadee 20 is getting flooded from San Seab.

This canal runs through to Soi 16. I am guessing that if it isn't already getting water, then it will very soon.

Big canal (Sam Sen Nok ?) at top of Viphawadee 16 (Ratchada 19) is over flowing. Saw Sukhamband up there an hour ago.....

Just back from Major Ratchayothin/Ratchada.

Water now present just outside Major. Continuing northwards, flooded from Phahon Yothin Soi 35 onwards. Approx. 40cm deep. Police redirecting northbound small vehicles to turn back or take flyover.

Same time yesterday, flooding started at Soi 39. That's about 500m in 24hrs I reckon.

Also starting to have problems - water on the road but not flooded yet - top of Chok Chai Ruammit (Viphawadee 16) meets Ratchada.

Good luck to all.

Did anyone happen to see the ad in the Bangkok Post by one of the well known international law firms advertising that it will handle labour cases on a no fee basis pending a victory? Interesting stuff.

Went to said 'well known international law firm' - well my mate Dave did. He said that there were catches...a deposit of around 20,000B up front, as well as a possible non returnable 'consultancy fee' to pay for the time taken by their lawyers to decide whether or not to take the case.

Phatcharanan - would you be able to point my mate Dave in the direction of the lawyers that you had success with..? And what were the fees like?

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay. Been on hols.

Ask to speak to Mrs. Chaninat Leeds. She is the Labour Law specialist. Thai and fluent English. Ex-professor of Law at some uni, forget which.

The name "Leeds" is her husbands, an American lawyer still at the bar in the USA

Many thanks for that . Much appreciated! Will pass it on to Dave. Forgot to mention on my last post that Dave said the lawyers of 'international repute' were in fact very positive about getting a severance payout on the basis of multiple yearly contracts....
