Tv Poll: Who'S Staying And Who'S Leaving?

[differentbutsamesame]

Just wondering how many TV members will be leaving BKK.

If you do leave, where do you live in BKK and has your area been flooded?

[jaiyen17]

I live on Krungtep-Non rd. Soi 3 ~ Amphur Muang ~ Near Tiwanon. 2 miles from the Chao Phraya in Nonthaburi. Still very dry ~ We're staying ~ well stocked with food and water and the ability to purify more. We have a second level but will not be able to stay upstairs for long as it's super hot up there in the day with a metal roof! For now the market at Thanam Non is still bustling and we've been getting fresh food everyday.... but this area is seriously ready for the worst.... sandbags & walls stacked high everywhere! I don't trust the supply chain for food & water enough to leave yet being that we're well stocked here.

I was all along the river yesterday and there is a lot of water.

Heading up to Chang mai 2 moro

What the he@@, might as well stay. At least I know what I have right here--knee deep flood water out in the street. But I have no idea what I might be getting myself into if I charge off some place where there is less water and food than I have right now.

Staying. Live in Dok Mai, to the west of the airport sandwiched between Bang-na Trat Road and Bangkok-Chonburi motorway. If they decide to dig those two roads up and it goes wrong, i (possibly stupidly) want to stay behind and try to save the house i've worked dam_n hard to save up to buy!

[w11guy]

Very dry in Silom.

[Rumblecat]

Staying. Well prepared if things get worse, but not going to let flooding affect day-to-day life any more than it has to.

[chunktal]

Staying, Meung Tong Thani not far from Impact. On the 10th floor so no worries about flooding and stocked up on food and water.

[Gippy]

Left over a week ago when our home and business started flooding. Didn't see much point in staying and becoming a burden so we packed the car and cats and headed north. We saw some of our neighbours on TV being evacuated by the army so it seems it was a good decision to leave. This was in Mung Thong, about 2km from the Chaengwattana immigration office.

It's interesting to see the poll result so far. I was expecting it to be the other way around where 80% would leave and only 20% staying.

Chok dee everybody. I'm in the sukhumvit/ekkamai area and it's still bonedry around here.

Left Ladprao Big C area couple days ago, now in Pattaya, where the streets are dry but the tons of insane escapees are far from dry...

[Zodiac]

My vote is to stay. If one is in a dry place, still have electric and water at home then surely staying is the better option. Course if one's district is flooded badly and/or there is an order to evaculate a particular area, then its a different story.

If you are talking about, Red Shirt central, Chok Chai 4, dry as a bone as of 17:00 today.

In fact the whole of Lat Prao from the MRT all the way to The Mall Bang Kapi was bone dry.

The above info is correct as of 17:00 today and may well be overtaken by events.

[ccarbaugh]

Staying. I'm on the klong, (San Saep,) between Thonglo and Ekamai (near Petchburi.)

All dry here and there is hardly any noticeable increase in the height

of the klong water. "7" is scarce but plenty of street-stalls.

[lujanit]

We are staying defending our home even though there is a metre of water around the house. Constant pumping is keeping us sorta dry. But that can change at any minute. If the power goes or the level of water gets too much higher the time will come to abandon our home. Sadly one may trigger the second. Higher water level may cause the power to be cut. We have already lost the power circuits downstairs and I have had to do some 'innovative' (read definitely not approved) electrical adjustments to restore power to our pumps. Did I mention electricity and water don't go well together? Anyone have a spare genset they can lend me?

[GamLing]

Bang Kapi..... no flooding

[asiaexpat]

All is well in Prawet at this time. We are staying regardless of what happens to protect our property.

-----------------

Still in Ladprao Soi 42 Ladprakhao road....staying.

No water outside the house and road outside.

Have enough emergency supplies and water...so right now no problem.

2nd floor is 3 meters up...if it ever gets that high here.... then there won't be a place in Bangkok that's dry anyhow.
