- Witness the devastating impact of the floods in Chiang Mai as I return to the scene. The situation has worsened dramatically since yesterday, with the Ping River breaking its banks in several areas. Water levels are at a critical point, and the city is bracing for major flooding in the coming hours. Join me as I take a look around the city.

Thank you 🙏
Thanks for showing us the flooding Wayne. Keep dry and look forward to the updates. Best wishes from me here, in a very much drier Bang Saray.
Thanks Andy 🙏
yeah great job Wanye thanks for the reports and a very special thanks for not profiting of the people affectted by the flooding with turning off the adds
Thanks you! Profiting from this isn't my style buddy. I could never sleep at night. 🙏
Be prepared, Wayne. Flooding can come quickly. Get some food and move your stuff. Be safe, mate.
All good buddy. Thanks

Hello Sir 👋
Let's hope the weather changes soon for the better. Stay safe Wayne
Sunshine ☀️ today so far. Hopefully the rain stays away today 🤞
Thanks so kindly for your updates, Wayne--especially the segment filmed by the Ping in Warorot Market which is NOT far from MY flat complex which I SHOULD be getting back to in January! Take care of yourself and again, my thanks for the latest info from my Second Home! Cheers from Cape Cod!
No problem. We have sun and blue sky now, so hopefully the rain stays away today. Hope to see you around in January
Just arrived in Chiang Mai for first visit and should have checked weather first. Had to go ankle deep out of hotel to get to dinner. Understand others in worse shape, so best wishes!
Hi, how is the situation today ? Supposed to fly in today 😢
@@hanyau5921 Looking at the weather forecast shows chance of rain for everyday - Friday, Saturday and Sunday don't look as bad though.
@@tadpollard1132 are u near the old square?
No rain for 24 hours and things improving a little. It still could flood again though
@@hanyau5921 yes, near Tha Pae Road.
Night bazaar is under water ! So many people are affected in the area. As a foreigner, I have more resources than average Thai, so I'm good. I do feel for all the locals affected. Thai people are super resilient and will weather this storm as well.
Hope it’s better down near Night Bazaar now. It’s still flooded further down.
Be careful on the bridges mate watched one disappear in Vietnam last week, get some food in and put Netflix on for a few days
That's a great comment mate. One of them bridges could go at anytime.
Yeah Wayne, I tried go night Market tonight, couldn't cross the road, but it was okay I found bar above the flood level, we had a banging night, Chiang Mai is great😊
Hope you’re safe mate.
Great video Wayne. Could you provide your viewers which one of the nice new moobahns where most expats live, are flooded? It will help anyone who consider settling down in Chiang Mai in the future. I saw your flood video last year and I don't see ANYTHING being improved in Chiang Mai to prevent more floods in the future.
Maybe in the future buddy. A few things have been improved around the city but lots more can be done.
God damn if it goes up another foot its gonna be a huge disaster, sad
It was all nice and sunny here in Chiang Mai today...mostly.....but that doesn't mean the waters coming from up river and the mountains have stopped. Hopefully good news to come.
Lovely day, sunshine and blue sky, just what we needed. Yes, it don’t mean much but looking like things are getting a little better.
Still not as bad as back in 2011 mate it was more than half way up Loih Kroh terrible situation for those affected,
Hope all is well mate under the circumstances
Pretty bad further down mate but 2005 and 2011 were bad. I’m all good Gaz, still flooded down my way but all is well. Hope all is well mate 👍
I half expect you on a boat for today's flooding.
The new BBC weather presenter Walkabout Wayne located in downtown Chiang Mai, northern Thailand💧🙏
🤣🤣🤣
Saw your clip on Tim newton. Funny & confusing when I first saw it and then he gave you credit
🤣 Yes, I don’t mind. Tim has used my flood clips for the past few years. I like watching his news channel. As long as he gives me a shout out, it’s fine 👍
Ohh mate, not looking good there. That's a huge amount of flood water.
Get to the high ground . Be safe man be safe.
🙏🙏🙏
Good on ya mate.
Cheers John
Maybe it’ll wash away the snakes? Stay safe Wayne.
This is what's bringing the snakes.
Take it easy Wayne. I hear it’s gonna get worse. I’m driving up from Bangkok tomorrow. Do you know if the highways get flooded and is there a website to find that info? Your help would be appreciated
Thanks buddy, things are improving but still critical. I don’t know if any website but social media is the best way for updates. Richard Barrow does hourly updates
Thank you 😳
Cheers Kashif.
Hopefully it will be better when I come on the 17th of next month
It’s about 1 am now , sep 26, at it’s rainning cats and dogs in Mae Hia. Just wondering about tbe situation in downtown and Hangdong.. and my kid’s school. Be safe everyone
It got alot worse. Not sure how Hang Dong is doing.
Hopefully the rains end soon and the drying begins, you're gonna need a snorkel for Lucille if this keeps up. Thanks for these reports, hope things improve soon
Luckily we had a blue skies and sunshine the following day. Things are improving but the river is still high. Thanks
Hope your bike is OK too, could hear a rattle on the video and presume it may be water damage to Lucille.
Phone holder rattling mate. Bike is great just needs a clean again.
@@WalkAboutWayne That is good, we don't want anything happing to Lucille.
Saw your flood coverage on TNT, nice one. From what I am seeing there is not much live on the spot footage so you have done well to catch things there. It looks horrific though. Keep safe.
Saw your video of the floods on TNT .
👍👍👍
My friends bar, Orian Bar is flooded near Changklan road 😐
Yes mate, Chang Klan has been hit hard.
Today the water at my house in Thailand has reached up to 2m
🥲 Stay safe! My area is flooded again also. Take care buddy. 🙏
Nice Honda Civic EG 👌
👍👍
Are the mosquitos out in force Wayne with all that heat and water?
I’ve not noticed any difference mate
Because of rampage corruption by the authorities my friend house was flooded. You see near his house was a huge canal and illegal emigrant cover it with plank and build houses on it. Over the years debris choke the canal and making cleaning impossible. Numerous attempts to report to the relevant authorities gone astray because of corrupt officials took bribes from those squatters. Hope the authorities do something about it urgently.
🥲 Sorry to hear that. I hope your friend can get it removed 🙏
Do you have any update, mate? Hope you OK
Still flooded in areas (including mine). But it’s slowly improving.
How bad will it be if it comes up 20m from normal like it has in Laos?
With all the extra rain could stack up a bit higher if it lines up perfectly wrong.
Really bad today. It could still get even worse but no rain today so far.
@@WalkAboutWayne What about up country? Is there another wave coming or is this the last of it?
Supposed to be there in 20 days so will keep watching the news
Hopefully it will be back to some sort of normality by then 🤞
Do floods like this happen regularly in Northern Thailand/Chiang Mai?
Yes!
Yes, they do but this is a bad one. Floods ruined the original city many many years ago.
How is the old town area where river going through ?
I think Old town is ok now
My father lives here... he messaged me like 6 hours ago and wont respond. Do you know a Canadian Man named Shawn Lamb?
Oh my! I don't know the name. Has he been in contact now? You can use the Chiang Mai Facebook groups. Someone on there will bound to know him. I hope he's safe and well.
@WalkAboutWayne He is okay, woke up floating on his mattress but hes alright.. 😕 im worried for him
Which cities are safe to live without a risk of flooding?
Is Khon Kaen safe from flooding?
Any on higher ground or away from rivers. I’m not sure about Khon Kaen, I’ve never been there.
Thanks for your advice
We hope to go house hunting next year
Enjoyed your vlogs and very informative
But hope will be ok till 7oct iam coming for 3weeks chiangmai pai😅
Don’t count on it. It usually rains frequently through mid-October…at lease it has for the past 15 years I’ve been traveling to Chiang Mai.
Hopefully it won’t t be so bad by then 🤞
You wouldn't last long if you fell in the river 🌧️🏊. Is that the Mekon river?
For sure, it would be hard to get rescued. This is the Ping river.
Is it better or different over by CMU? Or Maya Mall?
Just curious...I been thinking anything on flat land or near the Ping is bad.
Chiang Rai is really bad too. Stay safe
No real problems there. Way above the river.
@@andrewzimmerman4433 Yeah. Good to know.
As I prepare for the eventual move over, definitely had flooding as a tiny thought in the back of my mind. I used to live across from Maya. Seemed like the floods were more on the flats or near the river. Still this is rough for everybody now. Stay safe!
Yes, it's alot better over that side. Nimman did flood from the drains though I heard.
@andrewzimmerman4433 I live up there, no problem whatsoever
Well its now the next day and we got flooded badly in many areas.
Alot worse!
People are used to it now...... I think the first time many people experienced it was in 200x, because according to Thais, it was the first in decades. It flooded till the backlane of Pantip.
2005 and 2011 are the years most talk about. The old original city Wiang Kum Kam was always flooding back in the day also though, that's what destroyed it.
So, glad to catch your video. Have not heard from my friend just north of Chang Mai. She is closer to Myanmar, than Chang Mai, way north! Sending best wishes and prayers for safety!
Thank you for your videos they are entertaining and informative. Much love Sofi!
Thank you! I hope your friend is ok .
Dang brother that is not good
🙏🙏
Rained hard in Bangkok but no floods in my area .did you get wet feet when the lights went red 😂😂
The floods are in the way to Bangkok probably. Stay safe. Yes, wet feet 🤣
It's buy luseil new jet sky mate😅
🤣🤣
Bro i can pick up some English words but other than that i dont understand anything u are saying
No worries buddy, not a lot I can do about that, unless I go back 40 years and change the whole area where I’m from. 👍
Thailands noise pollution ruins the place for me.
I go there for liveliness and food. love it. but in TH there are many calm places also
Wear headphones. Listen to Diddy. 😂
just go down to Rayong..u will find empty quiet beaches with nobody
Chiang Mai silent most nights.
@@WalkAboutWayne Is there anywhere in Thailand that is quiet near the beach?
Wow, I’m coming for my first overseas holiday on Wednesday to Chiang Mai.
I can’t change the flights so I’ll see how I go I suppose.
You will be fine if you stay in the right areas. Hopefully things will be alot better by then.
@@WalkAboutWayne sweet, cheers mate🙏😊.
I’m looking at the north east outside the old city, around Santitham rd. Looks like it’s the opposite side of the floods.
