NongKhaiKid Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 No arrests and no fights because police concentrated their efforts on looking for naked foreigners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Turning the City's water off at 9am might be the best idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebell Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thought Saturday would be the lull before today's storm so went into town about 4pm. Total snarl up. 6 police at Dolphin roundabout waving their arms about ineffectually. No attempt to regulate traffic flow, merely 'he who dares, wins.' Lots of parties of Koreans/Chinese? Lots of Thais on pick-ups (with water barrels!) Few farangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercool Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Have not been today but last year Sukhumvit was total grid lock and you might have more chance going along railway line and turning on to Sukhumvit around KaoTalo area. My advice is wait until tomorrow but if you have go, prepare for road chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montereyjp Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I had a tryst planned for this afternoon with a very nice person which is why I wanted to go to Pattaya... we delayed it till 5pm but as I approached the motorway from Chaiyapornvitee (hwy 3240) traffic was backed up way before the entrance ramp and many where getting off the motorway to go down Chaiyapornvitee (hwy 3240) or the Sattahip bypass I assume.. I took a picture to share with you all.. then turned around and went back home... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercool Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 ^^^^ Sunday visitors, Songkran's main day in Pattaya, and roadworks all combine so I would not expect anything different quite frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
