Rimmer Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Overnight rain a Pattaya nightmare PATTAYA:--Three hours of late night rain prompted another nightmare for Pattaya commuters. The 11 p.m. thunderstorm July 19 disabled traffic on Third, South and Sukhumvit roads, with water levels running 50-80 centimeters. Other spots, such as Soi Khao Talo and Soi Khao Noi, became racing rivers as water rushed down from the railway parallel road. Soi Siam Country Club, already a disaster zone due to long-running roadwork, was rendered impassable. It took up to three hours for roads to return to normalcy, particularly on Beach Road, which is the last stop for every drop of floodwater in Pattaya before it carves out the beach and returns to the sea.

thaibeachlovers Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 The rain isn't the nightmare- it's natural and happens all the time. The nightmare is the city council that allows building everywhere, but won't install the infrastructure to deal with the consequences of covering up natural water courses.

Well, I see another source with flood videos from July 19, 10 PM showing Soi Khao Talo. Maybe translation took a bit longer. Or a Pattaya local proofs me wrong.
