Many commuters were forced to wade along flooded pavements in the Chaengwattana area late last night (Monday), due to a lack of public transport and traffic gridlock, after the area was drenched by several hours of heavy rain.

 

Rainfall at the Government Complex in Chaengwattana over the past 24 hours was measured by the Meteorological Department at 165.5mm, 137mm in neighbouring Lak Si district and 126mm in Bang Na area.

 

The department has also forecast rain and isolated heavy showers covering 70% of Bangkok this evening.

Somehow, there's a certain major irony to the fact that CW -- one of the national government's biggest physical presences in Bangkok -- ends up getting among the area's worst flooding.

 

I understand, the national government can't manage to keep the ordinary citizens from getting flooded out. But now it seems, they can't even manage to prevent themselves from getting flooded out!
