  • Rainy season is not much fun without an unbrella or poncho. If you get caught out, you're f**ked. Bangkok is guaranteed to get flooded every time there's a heavy downpour. Over the last 100 years Thailand's capital city has seen some terrible flooding. If you move to Bangkok, you should be aware of the areas that are more prone to flooding, it's easy to find this out by doing a google search. The condo tour videos won't give you this kind of info!

    Love your content. I'm not sure people appreciate how much time you spend creating your videos.
    The opening of this video was priceless and 100% on point.
    I direct people to your channel all the time. No one that I've seen covers the history of Thailand the way you do.
    Thanks!

    I was living in Lad Phrao during the floods of 2011, Thai Army trucks were instrumental in helping to transport people. Coming back to my condo from a Chonburi trip, neighbors offered me a boat ride down my Soi to my condo with my luggage. I had to climb over the wall to get inside the common area where the 1st floor was. It was surreal to have have the whole condo building surrounded by water and most residents left. But everyone during this time were gracious and helpful. I will never forget. Loved this, Pat.

    Thank you for showing us this video of the flooding in Bangkok Pat. You are right these Condo Tour videos don't tend to show the negatives of living in Bangkok such as the flooding seen in this video. Its good to get a balanced view of live in Bangkok. Especially as someone who is planning a move to Bangkok next year to live I need to be aware that this may happen.

    Excellent video Pat, I really liked looking back on the floods of years past. It's obvious that there needed to be better infrastructure to cope with the current situation, at least something is being done. I spend a lot of time looking at weather maps due to my work, and everything seems to be moving to the extreme. I have a more positive outlook as I believe that there's always a solution.
    Bangkok does look beautiful in the wet.

    2011 was the year we moved to Thailand and we were suppose to look for a house/ condo in Bangkok! But the floods put a stop to that idea and forced to move to Pattaya along with the rest of Bangkok. Didn’t stay long there and moved further south and end up permanently living in Bang Saray! Much nicer place!
    Look forward to your next installment!

    I remember being in Bangkok in the rainy season for a few weeks, the Thais just grinned and carried on as normal, and me in wellies they found hilariously funny. Couldn't bring myself to go barefoot like many of them and didn't want to wreck my shoes or boots. Many enjoy people watching , I loved Thai watching , they are just so full of fun and don't ever seem to stop smiling. Funniest thing for me was seeing a monitor lizard drifting down a flooded street. Stay safe and regards to you both. :)

    Thanks, Pat.
    One time I walked out of my place on Sukhumvit 61. It was just starting to rain. I went and got on the #2, bus, my favorite at the time, and off we went...for 10 meters, then stopped. It really started to poor, and by the time I got to Soi 53 I had to get off and give up. I stepped out into water up to my knees, cried a quick tear at the danger I put myself into, and slopped it all the way home.
    Another time I went to pick up an airplane ticket from my place way out Ramkanhaeng Rd., back when they had those "splashy" 35 baht Air-con mini-buses with TV's up front. Woop. I got the ticket and decided to have lunch before getting back on one of those buses and going home. I made it - 7 hours later. The bus driver was a great guy. He would get out and go into a place renting videos and get a new one for us. We watch 3 or 4 of them by the time I stepped out. Those were the days.

But today, for whatever reason, the rain was cold, or at least a lot colder than usual. 5min was just about acceptable, and then I needed a long hot shower at home.

    Pat, I went to work in London the day after the storm. Could sleep the night before. Couldn't believe the damage as I took the bus to Stepney. I just got back from Koh Kret and a lot of the houses are still flooded, businesses not open. I asked a local lady if the flooding was normal - and she said it happens every year in Koh Kret. That said, the island infrastructure is inadequate - very few pumps were working to pump out the water, probably because it costs money to run them. Still, a lot of the traditional old houses on stilts were high and dry and you can walk and cycle around to island on elevate walkways.
