Flooding

[LadyinRed]

On the sides of the main road in Chaofa is rising a slow tide. Any other areas prone to dangerous / obstructive flooding?

Last year was funny, when Chao far road turned into Chao far river...

But seems ok around Chalong at the moment, and with the new storm drains they are putting in near the new honda shop should help with things a bit.

Boating down the Chaofa was aces last year, no wp for me at the time, had to swim* into Mikes bikes to book Visa run.

* Not true.

A friend took me to lunch in his car, well it was a car on the way there, and a boat on the way back*

*true

No problems up here in the Bangtao area as of yet. Only been here a year and a half though. Are we talking about flooding as of now? Or in the past?

[Wolfie]

Apologies, i was talking about last year.

Its raining a bit, but i dont see any signs of flooding just yet

But then, i am blind as a bat

Ya last year was pretty bad. I was also told that during low season the cliff faces on Patong + Kamala + Kalim starts raining rocks as well. True or not true?

[Wolfie]

It has been known for some of the cliff faces to slip in heavy extreem weather, but then i dont suppose thats only phuket

Just dont go rock climbing when its pouring down with rain!

True!*

*Not true, there are a few landslides when it gets really wet for a few days running, but only in areas where you drive by and think to yourself "That land looks like it might slide if there was a whole loada rain for a whole buncha days", but no raining rocks.

Debris can make those hills even more treacherous. Especially if your on a bike with a mammoth bus breathing down your rear; trying to avoid the debris and the anxious bus can add a little bit of stress.

When first entering Patong from Kamala, the sand layered on the road beside the sea can be fun on a bike if you're not prepared for it.

But hey, I rambling.
