farang1979 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 The missus and I are heading to Koh Larn this weekend was wondering what the update was in Pattaya regarding the floods? It looks pretty bad on the photos but was wondering if this was localised to certain areas or affected everywhere. Also are the ferries running to Koh Larn as normal?

everett kendall Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 The flooding is always localized and usually gone within 12 hours. You should be good to go. The only reason the ferries stop is because of the wind and waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoli Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 New storm is expected in Pattaya through the weekend. This last storm was anything but 12 hours long, and closed almost all of the streets in town. They had to risk ferry boats to go back to Koh Larn and get people off the island. I would certainly not want to be there during any storm. I would hold off for this weekend if I were you. Not a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronthai Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I would stay home if I where you. From an other thread: The East Coast will have more rain than the rest of the country, particularly in Chachoengsao, Chonburi, Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat provinces. Waves in both the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand will reach the maximum height of three meters during this time. Small fishing vessels should remain ashore. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/856763-heavy-rains-continue-to-cause-havoc-in-many-thai-provinces/#entry9867857 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've decided to call it off. It's not worth it. Apparently the government have issued warnings about the weather. Stay safe people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapd Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) No Storm. There is a wind warning for marine vessels for Saturday the 18th but not sure how accurate that information is. Could be old info assuming Vamco has not moved on (which it has) There is probably going to be some rain but just regular rainy season stuff. Nothing like tropical storm Vamco stuff. Today (Friday) was very nice. A bit of sun and nice cool breeze Sunbathers and beach mafia enjoying the day which they haven't been able to do for a couple days now. Beach and water probably hasn't been this clean in months. No rain all day but it has been spitting a bit (not enough rain to get you wet). Know someone who drove in from Bkk yesterday evening. They said there were no problems or delays. Edited September 18, 2015 by lapd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mic59 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 The Canterbury Tales guesthouse with it's downstairs library must do it hard with flooding like this. Especially when the water tends to gather around that soi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm yeah just wondering if it's a good idea now. I see that @ronthai has already provided the link. I do realize that the Weather Service is wrong half the time. I would love to go to Koh Chang, but this is just not the right time to visit islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Move to Pak Chong! No flooding ever up there! Alpine climate, anti-aging sanctuaries and a lot, lot more ! Live Younger, Live Longer ! Someone wanting to go to Pattaya may well be bored there! Collecting wild herbs and hill-walking not for everyone. The forecast for Pattaya I see suggests a bit of rain today and clear weather Sunday/Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
