Rimmer Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Typhoon Wutip blamed for severe Pattaya Flash Floods PATTAYA:--On Monday Night Pattaya experienced two hours of sustained heavy rainfall which caused havoc around the city with reports of floods up to 1 meter in depth in some places.Typhoon Wutip has travelled throughout the South-East Asian region over the last few days causing high winds and heavy rainfall and regrettably some loss of life.Many provinces around Thailand have felt the effects of the Typhoon which is currently situated in the Northern part of Thailand.At around 9pm on Monday the rains began and predictably the local drainage systems could not cope causing widespread floods which forced some drivers to abandon their vehicles.The usual hot-spots: The Sukhumvit Road, Pattaya Third Road, Pattaya Second Road and Soi Baukao saw some of the worst floods leaving many tourists and residents stranded until the waters subsided up to two hours after theFull story:http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/104310/typhoon-wutip-blamed-severe-pattaya-flash-floods/ -- Pattaya One 2013-10-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoffel45 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 It was Wu Tip - Wu Tip! It's not the money for the drains which got "lost" - it's not the standard corruption of a crime family's town which ensured that the flooding problem never got past Committee stage. It was Wu Tip...

joepattaya1961 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Of course it's always something or someone else to blame.........TiT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emdog Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Have to take that darn typhoon to tourist court! Gee, they never have those big rains here, must be why they never built drain system etc to handle them. When too lazy and/or stupid to do what obviously needs to be done, take the lazy way out: blame nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spalpeen Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 There's nothing unusual about this weather at all. If anything, there's been less rain in Pattaya this year than usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
