AlexCanada Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I got to experience Super Typhoon Jebi last week as it rolled through Osaka. It was quite the experience. Half the beer bars in Pattaya would be destroyed with a direct hit of a real typhoon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess you could also stupidly say that a volcanic eruption in Pattaya would destroy the beer bars to , but that is not going to happen either 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he not make certain assurances, along the lines of "we are on the case" and "flooding in Pattaya will soon be a thing of the past"? Yes he did but to be fair every Mayor before him in my memory has made the same statement. Strangely they have all ended up not meeting that commitment but very wealthy. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical Storm Barijat is currently 733 kilometers from Pattaya. "when a weakening tropical storm hit the seaside tourist city". No tropical storm hit Pattaya. I was just making a joke but the unstable weather is caused by the low pressure of Barijat and Super Typhoon Mangkhut causing some of this rain. https://www.goes.noaa.gov/dml/jma/nhem/wpac/rb.html Yes we got slammed here in Hua Hin and watched the rain on radar today come down from the northwest. http://weather.tmd.go.th/satLoop.php 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoboi Bebobp Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Typhoon Mangkhut is headed for Hong Kong and mainland China Sunday. Forecasts show heavy rain ahead of the storm might hit northern Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soistalker Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 People in charge are not intelligent enough to fix the city so that it doesn't flood after even a little bit of rain. Is flooding inevitable?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only pattata floods after every rain , no need for typhoon. If a real typhoon hit and it rained for a whole day most town would be underwater totally . i recall about 4 years ago it rained for half a day , water at my house was up to 1 meter high and not a single rescue or assistance team during or after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert bloggs Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Well if that was a weakening tropical storm i hope we never get a real one here in Pattaya ,it was the worst storm i have seen in 25 years . and our cat was not happy either .

lapd Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 There was flooding? Where? I walked all over today and all along the beach and had no clue until I read this post. What does that Typhoon have to do with it? It is nowhere near Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
