PhilHarries Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 perfect reason for early drinks,i love rain You need a reason? There are only two occasions on which I will drink. When it is raining and when it is not. Dang, looking out of the window I see a sunny cool spring day with hardly a cloud in the sky, seems a beer is in order. Five days and about one more hour and I'll be getting off flight TG 659 at Suvarnabhumi, add about two hours and I'll be in Pattaya with an ice cold beer.

Moonrakers Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I almost got trapped in the pub at lunchtime, if only I had taken a little longer I could still be sat in there with the perfect excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last 24 hours over central Bangkok rained 217mm!!! I am here from 2005 and I haven't seen such numbers, not more than 120 mm/ 24 hours and that in the rainiest month September. This April is going to be one of the rainiest in the history of Bangkok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadako_Sasaki Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 The flooding already did start! At least in our soi - the neighbours' house was starting to flood yesterday afternoon, as we crossed fingers the rain would stop. But it started again in the night, and we woke up to find 3 ground floor rooms flooded... Not looking forward to the rest of the rainy season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to find anything in my internet searches. Any sources available that anyone knows of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julie_f Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Most of the smaller sois flood when it really rains. Sukhumvit has been flooded many times so anything is possible! If you are interested in somewhere ask around. There must be somewhere that doesn't flood but I haven't seen it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply, although I was talking more about any kind of sustained flooding. I've waded through water above my ankles a couple of times while visiting, but within a couple of hours it was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilDrSomkid Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Having an apartment on the 13th floor does have its perks, besides the awesome view and that nice cool breeze coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
