I was on Walking Street last week, had a good time.  Doorman wouldn't let me into Pinup at 7:55 so I went over to XS for a beer, when I came back at 8:30 I was lucky to get a table in the back.  The b

Sanctuary of Truth.  Admission is 500 baht.  Quite busy this afternoon.  They do try to get visitors to stay in groups (50 in our case).  I managed to get lost from the group and did my own thing taki

i'm going in the morning to stay 2 nights .The GF said you cannot take your bike in the morning. Take taxi. I told her it would be fine LK is elevated. I just showed her your cam screenshot.  Learned she can speak "i told you so" in Thai,English and Lao.

Still raining in Naklua, i check the cam before leaving in the morning

Once it stops raining the flood waters will drain away within an hour or two. Quite a difference from several years ago. The drainage work they've been working on the last couple of years is having a positive effect on removing the water quickly.

So - contrary to many comments on this board - they perhaps knew what they were doing.

Seeing how slow the public works projects take here, I wouldn't go that far. It's also questionable how long the drains will remain effective given the amount of garbage and road debris that gets dumped into them.

Where did you get the impression LK was 'elevated?  Buakhao is an old swamp and I suspect isn't far above sea level, but it is in a depression. I was fortunate to leave town before 1pm yesterday and get home..... and watched the torrential rain there. I was on the North edge of the thunderstorms so knew town was getting hit bad. Went out to eat (at an indoor place of course) about 5.30pm, and driving home an hour or so later it had stopped and I was astounded how clear and clean things looked! The air had a good wash!

Rumour has it, all the new pipes help things drain quickly so you may well be OK....(rain forecast today, but a dryer spell after that).

Problem with the pipes is - they make a good place to dispose of garbage.  Eventually they'll clog them up.  TIT.

Sometimes i talk shit to the GF because i'm going to do what i want. However will be taking a taxi to Areca today as i noted your rain forecast.  Same when i showed her Jeremy Clarkson's brilliant series on owning a farm.  I'm kindred spirit  but the GF teases im Green Acres Oliver!!  . Public service announcement, Its another no alcohol day.   Hopefully my lovely on Soi 6 and i can take a bottle upstairs.

Rain forecasts?  From what I’ve seen lately, the so-called weather forecasts aren’t worth much.  They seem to change hour to hour.  For example, this morning they were forecasting rain for most of the day. Two hours later, the forecast was for cloudy skies all day.  I always take a look at the radar before I go anywhere.  Not much better, but at least I can see what’s coming my way in the near term.

Rained most of the morning where I am! More late afternoon.

Later Edit?

Pretty heavy this Tuesday morning too!

Total bust last night. I guess a serious Buddha day. Not even a Soi 6 girl.  A waitress said she would join me at Areca after she got off work. Never showed. Amazing as i really wanted her. Even held up 5 fingers in stupidity and desperation.  

Hope springs a new tonight.

baht didn't care. Lt or st up to her, found another girl. She stayed 2 nights 1k a night. you win and you lose, i dont care .Kinks is great. Appreciate the pictures Force. Traffic has been terrible on second road.   Sorry to drift and hope im not sounding like Gabor but last week in Stickman someone posted 3k st 5k as it was definite.  This is not true. Called a girlfriend from America last night. Told her i want to sail across the Atlantic. I said your old, your a doctor and have money so you can go. She said maybe.   Sorry Jacko, Pwd. I get my coat.

Saw the following pics on the FB page for Pattaya's mayor (link). The drains pictured are at the intersection of 3rd Rd and Klang. With that much debris accumulated in the drains it's no surprise the flooding continues.

It might help the trash in the drain problem if they would put some trash cans around on the sidewalks so people don't have to throw trash on street. I know many people won't use them anyway but many would.

Living in Naklua 5 years, frequently take my bike from Dolphin on south. Not once have i seen the smallest delay before you hit Central.  Came out of Soi Post Office yesterday intending to get a BB. I was walking faster than the traffic. Got past the Avenue,gave up a got a MB taxi to weave us to the 6.    As you say, in time for high season.
