Rimmer Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Worsening flooding crisis leaving Pattaya paralyzed by even small storms PATTAYA: -- Another storm, another flood. This time, however, it took only an hour before Pattaya’s inadequate infrastructure collapsed, leaving parts of Naklua underwater for a day and damaging homes in South Pattaya and on Pratamnak Hill. The Oct. 7 storm, which saw truly heavy rain hit the area for less than two hours, still wreaked havoc, as promises by Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome and city council members to clear blocked drains and canals remain unfulfilled. Besieged residents have been left hoping the rainy season will end soon, as city officials appear unable to handle a crisis that gets worse with each rainfall.
