Avoid driving..

Had heavy rain where I live North of town too last night...pleasantly cool this AM. 

[KhunBENQ]

That looks serious.

Time of the high barstools 😁

Up here no better.

Seriously heavy rains two nights ago in Chiang Mai, the klongs are flowing at full bore and flooding many moo bahns.

One of the benefits of Jomtien is it has enough undeveloped open ground to absorb a lot of torrential rain water, thus floods are rare.  Pattaya is so overdeveloped and paved over that there is no place for water to go except as run-off into the streets.

Pratumnak also good to avoid floods

Also Jomtien is not as steep as Pattaya. And at Pattaya North end when the (another failed drain project) water arrives at beach.
