Several floods and damage was reported in Pattaya after a sudden downpour overnight.

 

The Pattaya News reporters on the ground spotted several floods across the city early this morning, June 21st, after Pattaya was hit by a heavy downpour around 1:00 A.M. The flooding in some alleys, according to our reporters and locals, submerged up to half of a car door as seen in the picture below.

 

Sukhumvit Road and many others were also under water, which badly interrupted traffic for motorbikes, and water also permeated into roadside houses, according to our reporters.

The affected areas were roughly South Pattaya, Central Pattaya, Soi Siam Country Club Pattaya, Soi Buakhao, and Pattaya Third Road. A widespread power outage was also reported, especially in parts of Jomtien.

With the number of holes in the roads and pavements due to incomplete construction, it must be a challenge to get the place to flood!

   Pattaya Beach Road had sand deposits all along it yesterday and a large construction fence had blown over--must have been high winds coming from the west.  We lost electric for awhile.

This will now be a thing of the past as the newly elected Mayor has made the flooding problem his number one income stream.
