A little rain each day but nothing that has stopped me getting about. I haven't seen one flooded road in Central Bangkok now for some time. Normally a good 2 hour downpour and my soi is flooded and takes a couple of hours to drain away. It has now been several months since that last happened. Always flooding around Phyathai BTS but again I cannot remember the last time that happened. Silom, Pratunam, Sukhumvit all okay this week when I have been in those areas. I understand from a friend in Pattaya that no problems there since that last downpour they had.

May I ask what is the current flood situation in BKK. I have a trip coming up next week. Some of my thai friends say its ok to go and some say its not safe. Maybe an opinion from the BKK residents might be of help. I will be staying in Silom/Sathorn area. Is this area flood prone?
Many thanks.

-- Gentle Reader,
- Cent'l. BKK. - let's write BANGRAK area - is dry under-foot, as is S'BHUMI. INT'L. AIRPORT; reportedly no tpt. problems between those two places; reportedly no tpt. problems between S'BHUMI. & PATTAYA; - PINNACLE & SURIWONGSE HTLS. reported to be full, mostly with displaced persons caused by flooding in outlying areas; - Most FAMILY MARTS', 7/11s'., S'mkts'. shelves are being restocked - no problems with adequate supplies of drinking/potable water; - With possibly fewer int'l. visitors expected maybe for for those brave enough to visit certain & popular places of e'tainment. etc. etc. it'll be MORE of a Buyers' Mkt.? ![]() -- Was given a favorable rpt. about BKK's ROSE HTL. - S'wong. rd.: although outwardly shabby-appearing its bedrooms are nigh on ****. std. for just 1,500.Bh. per diem. - no mention if that was nett & if b'fast. incl.; - Today, 27 nov., forenoon I looked-IN at CP.TOWER - Si Lom rd., and saw that its sand-bagged defences were being removed. -- E&OE. as much reported speech. -- ![]()

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!
