As Tropical Storm Gaemi is set to cause major disruption in Central, Eastern and Southern Provinces of Thailand over the weekend, Pattaya suffered its worst flash floods this year on Friday Night, and is estimated to have caused Millions of Baht’s worth of damage. The majority of the flood water had subsided by daybreak, however a number of underground car-parks, full of cars, are still under water. Pattaya’s Mayor, Khun Itipon, has  ensured that rescue services are on full standby over the weekend and plans to utilize the services of the military are in place should the situation become too acute. The latest weather updates suggest the weather system has decreased in strength to a tropical depression with winds of no more than 39 mph, but the system has increased in size as it heads towards the Eastern side of Thailand. For those living in Pattaya we strongly advise you fully prepare yourself just in case and home owners in low-lying areas should secure their valuables and make all preparations for potential flash floods over the weekend.
