snoop1130 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Land travel between Thailand’s southern provinces and Bangkok has been disrupted in Chumphon province, as the Asian highway, the main artery, is heavily flooded, rendering it impassable to all vehicles except heavy goods vehicles. About 300mm of rain fell on Sawi, Thung Tako and Lang Suan districts of the province on Tuesday, causing widespread flooding, inundating several sections of the Asian highway. Chumphon Deputy Governor Somporn Patchimpetch, in his capacity as chief of the Flood Situation Command Centre, said that all vehicles, except heavy trucks have been advised to take a detour at Pathomporn intersection toward Ranong province, which will increase the distance by about 200 kilometres, if they have to travel further south.

Then some airhead comes the other way making and enjoying a huge wake swamping vehicles already struggling. Thai Smiles. IMG_0228.MP4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His PMness said so, didn't he. There will be no flooding in Thailand this year. As you say, a surfeit of water, waiting it's turn to make its way to the sea.

I see, have to zoom in to see the color codes. Looks all green north of Chumphon. Small red patches to the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
