PATTAYA:--Whilst Pattaya braced for the arrival of Tropical Storm Gaemi, as it turns out, only the leading edge of the storm caused any damage.

The Thai Meteorological Department began warning people in the area Oct. 4 that the storm had a maximum wind speed of 80 km per hour, and was moving west at 25 kph when it arrived on Vietnamese shores that evening.

The department warned that the storm was expected to last in the area Oct. 6, 7 & 8, when it was predicted to cause heavy rains and strong winds in many provinces in the east, lower northeast and central parts of the country.

The rain began falling in Pattaya around 11 p.m. Oct. 5, with four hours of downpour and, of course, flooding. Areas from Beach Road to Soi Buakaow, and from South Pattaya to Sukhumvit Road were affected.
