Thai Rath reported that Bangkok had become one big set of 'klongs' this morning.

 

Following very heavy rainfall in the night many roads were impassable to smaller vehicles.

 

They said among the main arteries affected were Viphawadee Rangsit, Chaeng Wattana, Rachadapisek, Lat Prao, Petchaburi and Petkasem.

 

They said there was widespread disruption at the five ways Lat Prao intersection near their offices on Viphawadee Rangsit where traffic was at a virtual standstill in both directions at one point.

Anyone on the ground? or in the soup so to speak, who can update this?

I was at Lat Prao. It was a mess ... water bumper deep in most areas. Over on Ratchada there was very little flooding, just in an occasional low spot. The Army was out directing traffic through them, since they're better at handling traffic than the police.

Try being on the East Sea Coastline (South China Sea) non stop rain all month, you only get the dregs of the Tropical Storms in Thailand I tell ya, it is some downpour when the arse of your kecks gets wet from rain bouncing of the pavement (sidewalk).
