Storm turns Khao Talo into river of garbage

PATTAYA:--It rained for only an hour, but it was enough to transform Soi Khao Talo into a garbage-filled river.

 

The East Pattaya neighborhood was hit hard by the June 6 storm, flooding Soi Khao Talo from Rattanakorn Market to Sukhumvit Road with water deep as half a tire on most cars.

 

More flooding was reported from the Top Charoen optical shop to Wat Boonsamphan School.

 

It took about 30 minutes for the water to subside, leaving the street covered in garbage.

Wouldn't inches or cm be more useful?

Self inflicted. Whom is throwing the garbage into the street?

I cannot see any garbage in that picture. The story is misleading.

1/2 a tire is not the diameter? Doh!

Half a tyre on a mini is different from half a tyre on a Roller. But a centimetre is always a centimetre, unless you are American when it is a tire and a centimeter.

And an inch is always an inch, unless you give it to her and she takes a mile!    LOL

Doh, we all know that. And we all know what the OP meant.
