Look at the bright side. Soon the rainy season will be over and the air will be full of smoke again

So far they have not done so bad in the last few years, dare we say the drainage at R-Con has helped? I seem to recall getting stuck in that area  multiple times each year in my early days here. Watching the water level climbing up my bike in fear or riding in it with ruined footwear.

Driving in such a flood with a standard limousine.

Brave, careless or stupid?

I know how to fix it.

Dig it up and install larger pipes. 🙂 While at it, put in lots of u-turns when the road is fixed. Don't worry about the sidewalks.

Just trying to be helpful.

Watch the video. Lower than knee-height on a Thai. That's not a flood by local standards, merely an inconvenience.

One side road from beach road to 2nd road still flooded at 7.15am

Yep when they did the Buakhao drainage a few years ago the pipes were about 12 inches diameter, clearly not enough

Luckily the plastic garbage stopped the flood waters rising any higher .😀

[artotle]

Oh! What about the xxx billions put in new flood drains right next to it? Or they still digging up the same spot next to Pattaya Avenue for a fifth year?

Hours after the rain stopped and not passable

Why pick on Buakhao, it was pretty much all of Pattaya?

Start a rest of Pattaya flooded thread

[scubascuba3]

Going over a drain when it's flooded is always a risk

Infamous for flooding. It used to be a swamp and has aspirations to be one again one day!

And how many times have they installed new drains? To many times to count...

It's nothing about counting the times drains have been installed, but the trickle down economy. 🙂

[shdmn]

It drains much faster now but they can't make the pipes big enough to completely handle a monsoon downpour.  They need to turn some streets into dual use streets/spillways, like they have done in Hua Hin.

Once they make Buakhao one way they can install new much wider drains which actually drain

You mean close it again for road works?😄

Larger pipes obviously help but they've got to get the water OUT of the pipes, if you don't, they just act like a reservoir, fill up, then back up which is what's happening now in most parts of the city. I don't know how many times they've installed larger pipes on beach road and it's still the same. I guess the constant construction does provide a steady stream of revenue for all those involved........

i thought the much larger pipes were to hold the water for a while, I wouldn't be surprised though if they were semi blocked

Yes but if one way, may be easier

Good to see the 2 year disruption to my life with the fitting of huge water pipes on soi 15 was for a good reason....not!

 

Or was it at least not as flooded on bukhao around soi 15?

At least it drains a lot quicker.

Maybe but if you have a business that floods, the fact it drains a bit faster is little consolation

Well much faster draining must also equal lower flood height level so there is that

[freedomnow]

It's the sheer weight of ladyboy high heels puncturing all the sewer pipes causing this.

Hopefully silicone floats.
