It does look pretty badly flooded, way more water than we have in northern BKK :)

Yes, well, someone definitely overdid the saturation.

 

But apart from that - all true (and quite wonderful). Sukh around Asoke turned into a major river today around 1400. Certain yaks at Ekkamai are now officially ponds - I am sure the locals will start fishing in a few days.

 

Moisture is good.

 

 

I live on a river floodplain because am too stupid to realise water doesn't flow up hill.

it was almost as bad at 7 pm tonight and three customers wanted to get to a

resturant on the left of this picture but the water was still about 6 inches deep

 

so the resturant got two staff to ferry them across one by one sitting on a three wheeled cart !

 

thainess at its best .. you gotta love this place ... bless :)

ps .. they all got there safe without wet shoes !

Ten years from now, half of this so-called "city" will be permanently underwater. Anyone buying even a condo in this hellhole would have to be mad. Expect motorbike taxis to be phased out in favour of speedboat taxis. Sukhumvit Road will be renamed Sukhumvit Khlong. This "city" is doomed. The highest point of it is like 25 metres above sea level. Most of it is under 10 metres above it. RIP Bangkok.

mosquitoes' paradise

It's "waiting to drain", things that are waiting are, by definition, not mobile :tongue:
