Scott Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I live in the area of the 304 past the Ramkamheng junction. I am not sure if it's flooded or not, but there has been traffic on the road (I can hear it), including cars, so it should be passable. There is a small stretch that is subject to flooding, but the rest of the road has been reasonably good for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gweiloman Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I am starting to think the inner / central Bangkok (Silom, Sathorn, lower/middle Sukhumvit, Asoke, Petchaburi, Makkasan, Ekkamai, Thonglor, Ratchada, Huay Kwang etc) are going to be free of floods. Is this a reasonable assumption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a reasonable assumption? If they can continue to contain the water in the northern suburbs and channel it out through the klongs into the rivers then yes, those areas will remain dry.

scotbeve Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 It would help if the exact Google Maps spelling of the location was used. An additional assist would be to provide Lat/Lon coordinates from Google Maps Lat/Lon tool tip feature. This feature (and others) can be enabled with Maps Labs through the gear-shaped 'options' icon at the far right on the Google Maps menu bar. Max, There has never been ANY exact transliterations of Thai to English - EVER.... Be creative and figure all the different spelling codes! No kidding? Why, I had no idea! Anyway, I didn't say there were any, did I? I was advising to use the Google Maps spelling so that GM searches would have a better chance of a hit and so that the names would be more recognizable when using GM. I assume if someone is posting then they have access to GM. It would be even better if posters would provide a GM link so that people who do not know Bangkok like the back of their ... the back of their ... the back of their beer bottle could quickly and conveniently see wheeeeeeresup. I think most posters/readers got it. I'm glad you can speak for "most posters" as the ones whom are not in the know would not have a clue.... Make any sense now???? And .... ummmm.... yerrrrrrrrrrrrrup! Google doesn't always get it right either!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauleddy Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) According to my wise neighbour, that would seem a fair assumption, Gweiloman. We don't live in swanky Sathorn, but we do live near Sutthisan/Lad Prao/JJ. In my soi we put up walls and sandbags. We ravished, ransacked and pillaged the Tesco and 7-11. Yet it is still as dry as the proverbial nun's habit. Not a bit of H20 anywhere in sight for three weeks. Starting to look like Kalahari Desert. Valium now discarded.

FangFerang Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Near Bangbon Klong Kwan is flooding the side of Petkasem opposite Bangbon3. Further West, a huge tentmarket near Mahidol University is seeing water, and a private school near Petkasem is flooded as well. Today, the Nation reported a deputy Bangkok Governor sayong : "As a result there was 80 per cent chance that the 22 districts would escape flooding. They are Bang Khunthien, Bang Bon.." Probity seems out of sync with reality here today. F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.d Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hello All, I'm stuck here in Haiti (literally as i had my passport stolen) and my wife has left our home in Moobaan Lalin in the Park on Watcharaphon. We did get a neighbours report yesterday saying flood has entered the housing estate so im guessing our house is now flooded. Could anyone let me know what is the situation in the area and if the waters are still rising? Thank you in advance and my thoughts and prays are with you all. james.d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckizuchinni Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Just talked to a friend of mine while he was driving on Phet Kasaem. If I understood him correctly, I think Phet Kasaem may be getting some water around sai 3 and sai 4. Anyone else have any information about this area? It's close to our factory. The klong on phetchkasem 69 is already overflowing. Soi 104 was completely under water right up to Phetkasaem this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilDrSomkid Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Would it be correct to say that the Phetkasem is starting to flood? I have seen reports of flooding coming down Phuttamonthon Sai 2, 3 and 4 and also various sois. This would cut off one of the main routes out of Bangkok to the West and South. Boromratchnanoni is already effectively closed. Only Rama II/ Route 35 remaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckizuchinni Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I am going to take a look now instead of waiting for rush hour in the morning. I will check Phetkasem from Rapprapruk to Soi 108. Will report back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is heavy flooding over around Ram Indra sois 19, -39 and further down towards Laksi. I think your end of Watcharaphon is around close to 1 meter deep in water.

mdechgan Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Amphur Thawi Watthana is 100% waterworld. Both khet Salathammasop and Thawi Watthana are off the map. My car and home is flooded well over 1 meter waist level. Thank you Thai government for screwing us over, I commend your efforts. Not even 1 sand bag to prepare, 1 pump to drain, or even 1 vehicle to evacuate any of my neighbors in my area. No one even told us to evacuate. Bang Khae, Bang Pai and Nong Khaem is next. Petch Kasem is not an elevated road so water will flow over it easily. Any of you in these areas get out! Don't listen to anyone or the gov or tv, just get out! The water won't stop at petchkasem.

luckizuchinni Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Just drove Phetkasem from Rapprapruek to Soi 112. The Phetkasem was mostly dry. No standing water, but some wet roads which looked to be from trucks maybe driving through water somewhere. Thanon Mu Ban Sathakit was under water right up to Phetkasem and people were being evacuated by police trucks. (That is by Phetkasem 102, not 104 as I early posted.)

The high tides only affect the river levels, drainage rate and flooding in areas near the river. 90% of the flood is from the water up north. The high tide only makes the river drainage much slower. A tsunami will come and go, this flood will last for a month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
