Re: Bangkok Field Report
I have been in Bangkok since 6 Nov and so far there is no problem in Sukhumvit area but the flood is fast approaching Ratchada and probably Silom areas. 11 days for the flood to be totally cleared from Bangkok is bullshit. Water is still rushing towards inner Bangkok and high tide is expecting over the next few days. There is still a chance of inner Bangkok being affected and this chance gets higher as days go by. Residents in the flooded areas are dismantling the big bags used to prevent flooding in inner Bangkok and this is definitely bad news. Politicians give contradicting settlements all the time as they do not know what they are saying.
If you can, avoid Bangkok until second half of December and you will enjoy yourself more. Many ladies have return back to their home due to the flood there and bottled water is hard to find. The tap water taste like river water and the hotel that I am staying had to provide bottled water for brushing of teeth. Bangkok weather is hot and there has been no rain for the past 8 days that I have been here. Whatever water that is rushing down is accumulated water from the heavy rain in the previous two months and we are talking about billion cubic meter of waters flowing towards the Gulf of Thailand. All the flood barriers to protect inner Bangkok only slows down the drainage of this huge amount of water into the sea and at the end of the day, inner Bangkok may not escape but whatever flood that happens there would be minor. Glad I am leaving Bangkok tomorrow morning for Dongguan where the weather is definitely better. |

Nana Plaza lease expiring Dec 2012
Quote:
Over past few years, I have seen many beer/pool bar plazas torn down or made way for development projects along Sukhumvit. Examples include Clinton Plaza (between soi 13 and soi 15), Sukhumvit soi 1 plaza, Sukhumvit soi 0, Sukhumvit soi 19. So the bar population have shrunk and I don't many new places coming up along Sukhumvit to replace. The only new bars that opened in recent years I recall is Strikers, Hanrahan, Country Road soi5 (which is just a relocation from Foodland building soi 5 which was torn down for development), Sidepocket Let us hope they do not let the agg bar population decline the way the bar/pub population declined
