reader Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 From Pattaya Mail Many parts of Pattaya and Jomtien were inundated on Monday after three hours of heavy rains caused by the monsoon. The east side of the city railroads braced high level of floods. Vehicles were blocked off by the officials to prevent disasters on the railroads, and Pattaya third roads. Soi Buakhao, Soi Yensabai in south Pattaya and Soi Khao Talo were among the locations suffered at least two feet of water height. The water is receding in the afternoon. Nonetheless, the weather is unpredictable since the monsoon is still covering the eastern provinces and the causing high tides in Pattaya bay. floridarob and vinapu 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterRS Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 It's the rainy season! Does anyone NOT expect occasional flooding in Pattaya and Bangkok? The article is incorrect, though. What it fails to point out is that Monday's very heavy rain was not due to the monsoon. Rain during the summer monsoon period comes from the west or south west. Monday's was the result of the tail end of a serious typhoon hitting the country from the east. Earlier it had dumped a great deal of rainfall over central Vietnam. You cannot always trust what is written in some newspapers - and the Pattay Mail is hardly the most respected organ in the country for the quality of its news!
