British tourist dies of electrocution in Pattaya flood

Eastern seaboard coastal resort of Pattaya in Chonburi province has returned to normal, while British consular officials are investigating the circumstances of the death of a British tourist who died from an electric shock.

Incessant rain triggered flooding in low-lying Pattaya, damaging houses and shops.

The tourist was killed in an apparent freak accident from an electric shock while he was wading through flood to return his room.

Sukhumvit Road in Southern Pattaya was under one metre of water Thursday morning causing traffic disruption for small vehicles.

Apologies, looked in both T News Clipings and P. forum ( make that P.N.C ) but didn,t spot it, blind as a bat sometimes.

Ah, just spotted my ballsup in brackets

I looked in the P.News Clippings without realising the difference.

As it was a news item, didn,t look in the forum, I should have done that thread as well.

The report also says: Houses and shops in the town were hit by flooding as deep as two metres.

2 meters? It was 2 centimeters where I live. Does anybody have a photo or something?
