Khaosan Road, for one, I understand, has had no problems. (Thenext street, along the temple, Soi Rambuttri, is nice, trees and nall, and more mellow.) www,thaitravelblogs.com can tell you about a lot more areas.

Rough guide... find Victory Monument on a map, draw a horizontal (E-W) line through it. Anywhere south of that line and east of the river.

You understood WRONG. When I left there-exactly 30 days ago now-there was flooding from high river exactly on soi Rambuttri-thus also pra Athit and all the area north of klong around SamSen. But this was not the enduring filthy water floods that still stay on in large parts of north-BKK and have ended pretty soon after. Various shops arond KSR ] still have the sandbags and floodwalls around them. Just across the river-along PATA\the waters have been up to 1m50 high-but thats also nearly gone now.

TTB is very, very general and only to reassure TripAdvisor dumb readers that they need not worry too much.

I have been staying on Silom road near Oriental, lebua, etc for one month and absolutely no sign of water. Just nice view of the river and easy access to BTS line. But, home in Bang Yai flooded for over a month.
