No chance of that happening... Here in Chumphon the rain started in torrents at about 6 am and although it has lessened now... it still persists.

All the best,  a little damage to the roof, leaky, just a wet floor otherwise ok.... the canal level is back to normal. This means it is not level with the street.  The soi off the main roads of course are flooded.

 

Be strong...
