I wasn't aware that this is news... just an excuse to dig up more streets and fill some peoples' pockets through the construction of never working pipes

Maybe the heaviest yet, i was on Sukhumvit coming back from Sattahip and some deep water areas towards Pattaya

Who could have ever imagined, water flows to the lowest point! Wow, you learn something EVERY wet season! ????

So pretty much all of it then? But no mention of Klang that regularly becomes a Klong... ... at the 3rd junction. Have the drain pipes achieved anything......?

Was the new mayor out with a new gold bucket, or strangely quiet ?

I came through that junction around 4pm and did not realise there had been a big storm presumably earlier?

What time was the heavy rain? I came back into Pattaya from the 7 about 3.45pm but did not notice signs of heavy rain until nearly at the right turn off Suk at the top of Klang

Would love to get down to SUK road with the jetski when it floods !!
