CHdiver Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Thats the reason why they didnt sell Alcohol in the last two days. Thai People in there eternal wisdom knew it would not be good for us Farangs to go outside. So they looked for the easiest way to do so and decided that a Bar closing would keep us safe. That it also was a Buddha Holiday was just a coincidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I was in Soi Honey on Monday Night having a massage and I was gobsmacked when I came out and saw the floods. Nothing for it but to take off shoes /socks and wade to View Talay 6 beside Central Market. Got up to 2nd road no problem but then as I walked along the footpath on 2nd road I fell into a hole. In true Thai fashion just left there and as water level was well above the footpath no way could I have seen it.Managed to complete journey to View Talay. 2 cuts on right foot one very nasty and overnight foot had swelled. So up to Int Hopspital on Soi 4 where wounds were dressed. I will be out of commission for approx 2 weeks. Needless to say I am raging that the cause was the brainless couldn't care less attitude of authorities to footpaths. Nobody no doubt is responisble. God/Buddha put the hole there. When I am back walking I intend calling into City Hall and complaining. I can see the smarmy smile already and the accompamning wai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGW Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 ^ I have to wonder why on earth you took off your shoes, are they worth more than your feet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moo9 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Unless it is absolutely necessary, I would not walk trough flooded streets. Better have a beer and relax, waiting to the water level gets down. During the rainy season, flooding happens everywhere in SE Asian, it is not really a specific Pattaya problem. Though I wish we would have more rain, considering the water levels at Maprachan!

Phil Conners Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 ^ Not only that, often power lines drop into the flooded water and cause electrocutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they are not but shoes would have been of little help in the circumstances. I saw several people like myself wading through the floods in bare feet.

JohnBozi Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) I tried searching for the right place to post and I found one place which told the poster to post here if have similar topic. OK got that out the way, It is amazing that what I thought was a flood in Brisbane and then what I thought was a flood in Pattaya was nothing compared to what is happening in Bangkok. What all this makes me think of is that maybe the one in Bangkok will not be the biggest we will see either. Does anyone else understand my logic? Australia was in drought for ages and then flooded, is this happening everywhere or is it just natural cycles?
