Latest rain storm pounds Pattaya Beach

Pattaya has seen huge down pours and flash flooding in the wake of Typhoon Wutip

 

On Tuesday Morning Pattaya City officials toured the city to survey the damage caused by the rains. Check out this article from Pattaya One News.

Sections of Pattaya Beach have disappeared following the heavy rainfall on Monday Night.

After 2 hours of sustained and heavy rainfall, much of Pattaya experienced flash floods with water depths of up-to 1 meter in places.

On Tuesday Morning Pattaya City officials toured the city to survey the damage caused by the rains and found that sections of Pattaya Beach, especially the Northern end of the Beach had been swept into the ocean as the rainwater flowed down to the beach taking sections of the beach with it.

Concrete walls and drainage channels had been destroyed and sections of the beach had disappeared after the sand, some of which had recently been placed there to artificially build-up the heavily eroded sections of beach, had been lost to the sea.

Pattaya Officials are now counting the cost of the damage to the beach and questions are being asked as to why recent expansion work to Beach Road, which is one of many known flooding hot-spots in the City, did not incorporate an upgraded storm drain system to ensure that rainwater could be dispersed into the ocean without damaging the beach.
