-- Today, 23 nov., a'noon. I visited my young friend in his hair-dressing salon on Phet Kasem soi 79.;
- From BTS. Krung Thonburi,(S7.), the whole journey was by BMTA. 'bus. - approx.
70. mins.;
- A lot LESS water than
5.days previously; but in the gen'l. area of THE MALL - Bang Khae still axle deep for 'buses. and for Heavy Goods' Vehs.. The MALL remains
CLOSED. Only a few RThArmy vehs. seen and a lot fewer boats/rafts and suchlike;
- Along the journey I had noticed that the IN-bound carriageway was generally MORE under-water than was the OUT-bound one;
-- In soi 79 the water had fallen to generally ankle-deep; but quite possible to walk MORE comfortably for most of the way along the side-walks; although many locals seemed to prefer walking & splashing-along in the roadway.
no boats plying for hire.
-- I had borrowed a small & hand-towel for drying my feet in the returning 'bus.; several other & Thai PAX. looked-at me as though I was doing stg. quite unusual - possibly, being an aged
farang, I was?
-- Thus it looks like the worst of the flooding may be over and clean-up will be able to start quite soon with life ret'g. to what passes for '
Normal.' here in BKK.!
