WholeHearted Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I can confirm consistent rainfall on the west side of the moat. It's been raining all night near Suthep Road. What happens in CM when there's heavy, lengthy rain? Is it business-as-usual? Does life shut down? I think some streets may get flooded. This storm may last a few days, right? (I have an appointment and I don't know if I should keep it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maejo Man Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The river has risen 600 mm in the last day with the constant rain. What's in doing down your way Gonzo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have an appointment and I don't know if I should keep it.) LOL, YES you should keep it. Come on, it's just rain. In England this goes on for weeks. The only time when it gets different is when we get a little later into the rainy season (next month) and the river starts rising. Then there may or may not be an alert. This, on the other hand, is just rain. Maybe you get a drainhole here and there that's blocked so you get a bit of water or big puddles in some sois, that's it.

In 2004 and 2005 (if I recall the years right), the Ping left its banks and flooded big time. Both times I was trapped in the house (south of Nong Hoi) because all roads in area were seriously inundated. In all it was rather fun and an adventure (just waded though the water to a local hut/store and drank beer with the locals), but I'm sure many failed to see the excitement. It's actually amazing to see what the power of a river can do once it leaves its banks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladiator Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The Klong on the Canal Road is full to over-flowing. I drove this morning from Nam Phrae, Hang Dong, several kilometres along the road and at some places you can see the over-flow from the mountains gushing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Dave 2, this is off topic, but it is easy to get a photobucket account and then link the images. It works better than the forum software. http://photobucket.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippydedodah Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 here is Sansai Noi, every time it rains really hard like this, our water pressure disappears... no water makes it upstairs and it is a trickle downstairs. Of course, if i turn on the pump, pressure comes back up and the upstairs toilets will fill and flush, but how come this happens when it rains hard? Anyone have any insights?

jackr Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Perhaps a number of things, but first thing that comes to mind is motor(s) tripping out (flooded). Loss of juice and gunked up intake filter(s) would also be up there I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
