webfact Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Torrential rain brings flooding to Pattaya - one motorist floats away! Picture: Sanook Sanook reported that two hours of heavy rain yesterday left much of Pattaya impassable. Soi Khao Noi, the road by the railway and South Pattaya were all left under 30-50 cms of floodwater. It was worse on Sai 3 with flooding up to a meter. Picture: Sanook However, the worst area that the reporters found was in Moo 6, Huay Yai where a Toyota Vios was nearly submerged. The driver Niyom, 59, said he used that road as a short cut to Sukhumvit and thought he could get through the flood waters. Picture: Sanook He couldn't and ended up literally floating away before managing to get out of his car.

bbi1 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 How many cars must be a total write-off after these floods happening all the time? Surprised that car insurance covers floods, unless the premiums are through the roof. Do they even cover floods at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. You could get a bacteria infection on your privates. Better to stay home and be safe when there is any threat of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I drove on the leading edge of that storm from BKK to Patts. Highway 7 was like a river, plenty of motorists aquaplaning and hitting each other. On the positive note, getting municipal water from the pipe 4 out of 7 days now. I guess the torrent went mostly into the sea instead of being stored for consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
