Update on not Parking in Pattaya in the Wet Season

[basthehoop]

UPDATE

 

I note from the views of my previous posting that (see below) there seems to be some confusion and I want to put things straight.

 

The Car belonged to me and was not hired. Signs in Pattaya there are in plenty but not a one mentions Flooding

 

The bill to date for fixing has now risen to 13000bht

 

You are Warned

DO NOT PARK YOUR CAR IN SOI BUAKHAO IN THE WET SEASON

 

I DID LAST WEEKEND AND IT WAS TOTALLY FLOODED OUT AND I NOW HAVE A BILL FOR OVER BHT10000 TO PUT IT BACK ON THE ROAD

 

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Sorry to hear about your misadventure.

Nature has a funny way of catching people off guard and there was an occasion a few years ago with a sunami..

 

Was it just a one of thing or is Soi bukhao always flooded in the wet season?

sounds pretty cheap to fix to me.....

I'd suggest fixing it and then getting rid of it....

most of the electrics will be prone to corrosion and over time will all need replacing the gearbox, lower end, and most other mechaical parts will need replacing early...

Yes it is pretty bad when we have big rain but this was the worst I have seen it. The problem is that everything seems to come that way on its way down to the beach. In Soi Diana the water at one point was over 4ft deep. The drains were just never designed to take all that water and to make things worse street vendors and the like put everything down the drains which blocks them up
