Pattaya residents and tourists had to endure floods that damaged their property and vehicles in many areas after heavy rain wreaked the city yesterday.

 

A downpour struck most parts of Pattaya at 2 PM and lasted for more than an hour on Monday, The Pattaya News’s reporters reported. The low areas, such as the road along the railway, Soi Khao Talo, Soi Wat Tham Samakhi, and Khao Talo Road, were flooded, with the water level ranging from 30 cm to 1 m.

 

A foreign tourist’s car stuck on the railway road was half submerged, forcing the male tourist to flee his vehicle through a car window. Pattaya city workers helped tow his car to a garage for repair after the rain stopped.

Have you never experienced a hard heavy monsoonal downpour ?

You are asking someone, who just wants to complain about everything for the sake of complaining, to actually apply logic and reason to their baseless argument.

Wold be cheaper to bulldoze Pattaya and rebuild around the natural flood drainage paths.

Dont think the risk of getting hit by a truck to be too high in this instance.

Do insurance companies here insure vehicles for floods? Surely they wouldn't, as it floors all the time and lots of vehicles always gets flood damage. It would cost insurance companies a fortune.

Every year I renew my policy I try to read the cover, and lose interest half way down the page.... ! Most probably only have the compulsory insurance, which certainly doesn't. 

Might be covered under home insurance.

1st class on all my vehicles has them covered for flood damage.

 

not sure how tat works cause Iam sure they will ask footage to see if I drove into the water on purpose.
