Anyone that has spent any amount of time in Pattaya knows when it rains...it floods. Pattaya despite all its new high end housing and condos along with upscale restaurants and night clubs still has very poor drainage sysytems.
Short term and long term residents of the Soi Buahkhao area especially around the Soi Diana section of the soi is vulnerable to meter deep waters with in an hour of a torrential downpour.
Thailand as a whole has recently been battered by heavy rains and unfortunately the outlook does not seem much better in the coming days. Check out this article from PattayaOne.Net:
Monday Night saw further spells of torrential rain which caused flash floods around the City and according to weather reports the rainstorms are expected to become more severe over the coming days.
Already some Embassies have issued flood warnings to its citizens and according to the latest weather updates from the Thai Meteorological Department there is a high pressure system from China and a strong south-western monsoon prevailing over most of Kingdom including the Gulf of Thailand, the Eastern provinces are expected to see the worst of the storms.
The Pattaya authorities are doing their best to clear blocked storm drains and are working around the clock, but we noticed on Monday Night large amounts of debris within the flood waters which will only re-block drains that may have been earlier cleared.
