Westwards from thonburi - #3. ...
 

-- Today, 30th. november, St. Andrew's Day, I visited my friend in his hair-dressing salon on Phet Kasem 79.;
- On the OUTbound leg flood waters first seen around soi 75.;
- Soi 79. itself was but partially flooded, and then only to kerb-depth in general; with care it was possible to walk dry-shod for most of the way.
- For the return & INbound leg the flood-waters persisted, to a greater or lesser degree, to as far IN as soi 38.;
- However, the good news is that the area of THE MALL - Bang Khae is virtually dry - to date THE MALL remains CLOSED; but with sales etc.for the NewYear's shopping I'd expect an imminent RE-OPENING.
- I noticed that many people were using the post-flood period for a general clean-up and to dispose of unwanted junk - an early spring-cleaning, possibly?

In case anyone was on the edge of their seats waiting for our ace reporter's follow-up, I'm writing this from the Government Complex and it is dry as a bone.

Went back to K-male, behind Don Muang, last sun 4/12. Foned them before-they said to be open but some flooding remaining in area. Had water up to 1m30 high-and nearly 4 weeks of ankle deep. I'll write about it in the separate K-Male thread-they deserve some push now!
