Rimmer Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 September storm drowns Pattaya … again PATTAYA:--One again this year, the rainy season is going out with a bang. On September 23, a heavy storm dumped several cm of rain in just over an hour, overwhelming Pattaya’s flood relief system. Roads looked more like estuaries throughout the city, leaving cars and motorbikes stranded and creating large tailbacks. Areas inundated included Sukhumvit Road, especially in South Pattaya, Third Road, Soi Khao Noi, the Mab Pradoo Community, Railway Road near Soi Khao Talo/Sukhumvit, North, Central, and South Roads, Beach Road, which was flooded from North to South leaving only one usable traffic lane, and much of Nongprue Municipality. Rescue officials were kept busy helping flood victims, while city officials sent crews out to pump water to try and make roads passable again. -- © Copyright Pattaya Mail 2018-09-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 But they have just fixed the pavement on Thappraya road in time for this weekend's rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 They destroyed the existing drainage system when they widened Beach Rd, and now the people must suffer the consequences. It's like the stuff of a very bad novel, not something real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestB Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I recall not too long ago some government official claiming services are on standby to assist. last night , this morning storm not only flooded but ripped out trees and roofs of some buildings. I am yet to see a single crew assisting anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55Jay Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Besides the sewage/black water, would be hesitant to wade in there with all those light bulbs wrapped around the palm tree trunks. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
