They are announcing on the loudspeaker right now that Nong Hoi will flood at 10:00am this morning.

Where's the nearest Ark?

Wimpy.... Keep us posted on how things are looking down there. That area got hit hard back in 2005, but the river dredging over the last few years should help.

They have predicted a rise of 50 centimeters from now until 3 PM today. Mae Taeng is supposed to have problems at the moment, too.

Chiang Mai Land will be under water at 12:00PM, lets bring out the sand bags

10:00 Nothing so far. The neighborhood is eerily quiet.

Sirens going off at the moment in ChangKlan area.

Announcements being made over the 'village' loudspeaker system.

Too indistinct for me to make out what is being said.

Either flood or an air raid.

The surrounding Narathiwat Bridge areas are flooded now on the outer side of the river. 1pm.

Bridge on Mahidol Road:

Live updates here:

I drove through the Nong Hoy intersection with Aom Muang just now and did not see any issues.. It's of course possible that there is some water closer to the market area. Traffic looked like it was moving slower in that direction.

It rose exactly double that.

Took a while, but water is now overflowing from the klong behind Nong Hoi market.

According to a neighbor, the Gymkhana Club area is now flooded.

In the 2005 flood there was, at its peak, more than 30cm. of very fast-flowing water in the small soi just outside my house, but I was lucky: it only got in the house to a level just below the power outlets in the kitchen area, and the rest of the house, which is elevated, escaped.

Hi

Any Riverside Condo Resident ? Is it possible to come from Super Highway to Riverside Condo, just before the Bridge ?

Thanks for information

You might be able to walk there but the current down the road is knee deep and flowing very fast.

Roads all closed around Nong-hoi along the Lamphun road.

Anyone know what the river level is doing up stream? http://hydro-1.com/index.php?id=61 hasn't been working for several hours.

Actually, the road is OK until Holiday Inn, from the Intersection with Super Highway (the one leading to old Lamphun Road). But after Riverside Condo, Holiday Inn, going North, flood. Actually, I managed to see some cars and motorbike on the bridge ... but not often.

Super Highway is packed with car parked, and of course. people just wanna have a look at the river. Drive safe, JAM...
