<deleted>?

You find heavy rains, flooding and blackout amusing???

[badwig]

my living room is flooding quite bad today, time to move house me thinks

[Rooo]

Wonder if it has anything to do with this "supermoon" I was reading about?

Scary.

Cheers Roo, yeah it is and seems a bit to much of a coincidence that it is total unseason chaos across right now.

I did chuckle at "moonageddon" though

Press read more & choose play to listen.

Lots of rain but I've not seen any flooding in Hua Thanon or Lamai - went into town about two hours ago. It might explain why Lamai Tescos has sold out of the ordinary things like bread, ham and cheese though It's not like we are expecting snow lol. No water though in Hua Thanon and it's been like this since about 3pm this afternoon. It is nice to feel cool though! Might get a decent nights sleep tonight!

[PoorSucker]

Sunday looks bad.

What's the odds on it pissing down for Songkran?

[livinthailandos]

Heavy rain to continue hit us for the next 2 or 3 days from the posting on thaivisa. I'm sure will have flooding, hopefully nothing will get as bad as back in november, everyone stay safe and be careful out there

Took the ferry this morning and tried to get to Surat Thani, here's a short travel report from leaving the pier in Donsak.

Well done for making it to Lanta in one piece!

[limbos]

Thanks Smokie, glad indeed I made it, for some time I thought I was going to be stuck on that road!

[samuijimmy]

Good pictures!

It's looking a bit like that around my place this morning..... oh my!!!! I should have replaced a few roofing tiles when it was dry.... but then too Tesco Mall (Chawang) had a number of buckets catching drips yesterday... be careful not to kick the bucket

Forecast looks bad until Thursday....

I think everyone will be going a bit Quackers by then....

[screamingeagle]

Lamdin Market road, last night, was at least half a meter of water. Got a bit wet going home!

[steelerian]

Did my visa run yesterday, We had to turn around once, and keep calling ahead to check the routes as a few roads were impassable. Went through several flooded areas. Strangest one was where a catfish farm had overflowed and there were Thai men with buckets and nets everywhere trying to catch fish.

Take care peeps, especially on those sandy roads.

[perkie173]

Hua Thanon completely flooded near the Jubilee Restaurant and Lamai Beach Road is even worse from what I've heard. The road outside where we live in Hua Thanon (in the mountain) is like a river and it's running really fast and taking sand with it. If the rain continues things are only going to get worse.

Do anyone knows if the overstayers will be exempted of paying fine at the border because of the floods problems or was it a "nice try" ?

I seem to remember that in Nov/Dec they waived the overstay fee for a few people who were affected. I can't remember who it was but I'm sure there is a lady from Koh Phangan on here that wrote about it a few months back... maybe go back to the start of this thread and have a look

[H2oDunc]

I'm heading back to Samui from Songkla today so will be driving through the newly declared disaster zones. Does anybody know if Donsak is open for traffic etc ?

I will let you know what its like when I get back. Or if I get back later

The missus said last night there has been another tree blown down in the high winds so cannot get up the mountain to the house and it has taken the electric down with it so it will be fun and games again when I finally hit Samui

To the best of my information, Donsak has been closed, see my post @ 282 and the link provided, that will give you the reason why. Also, afaik, the ferries between Samui and Donsak have stopped service. Check with the respective ferry companies. It looks there's no need leaving Songkran right now. These roads are not something to deal with too lightly and will claim victims whenever they can.

[Rooo]

I have also asked the question HERE . So keep an eye on the thread for further info if available.

[Rooo]

FYI regional information:

Here.

[samuijimmy]

Just spoke to a friend on KP who was supposed to do visa report on Samui today, Songterm ferry cancelled....from KP I suspect others too?

Also a neighbour who works in Thaling Ngam .... just popped by to say roads too flooded to get though.... I think he was trying to say near the Lomprayah ferry road, in Maenam.... his English not so good.....

Road in front of my house is a river... oh my my! Another huge mess to clean up! ...... At the moment I would say water levels higher than any point in November!

Sorry I'm new here & I'm interested by your thread but I don't really get "see my post @ 282 and the link provided" part...
