A quick look at the map confirms suspicions that much of Pattaya, including many areas in the flood video is 30~50 ft above sea level.
So if they put in large enough drainage canals/tunnels & holding ponds, gravity ought to do the rest.

Pattaya floods. The reservoir, Lake Mabrachan was less than a quarter full last time I was there. If only there was some solution to both problems.
Mark my words.
In a few months the officials will be talking about low water levels and the effects of drought on the water supply...
I saw on one video of the floods where water was erupting from one of the street drains, probably up on 2nd Road. The Pattaya Beach project was allegedly supposed to improve the drainage at the beach so more water could get to the sea. The videos and Dodger's words demonstrate that the 'project' did not achieve any goals along those lines.
Do they use those same 4" plastic pipes for storm water drainage in NYC too?

I think it's obvious that the size of the pipes in NYC didn't have anything to do with the floods caused by IDA.
explain...
Comparisons of flooding in Pattaya v NYC, Germany etc are not really like for like.
Pattaya has regular reports of flooding and these should be prevented by proper drainage. If, instead of the resurfacing perfectly good roads and putting in mickey mouse drains, they decided to put in some large drains and holding ponds, the problem would be solved.
NYC etc are freak occurrences and are more difficult to plan for.
I'll let you do the work...just read:

The wrath of God is undoubtedly very terrifying for the Muslim haters of the USA and Germany whereas the pacifist Thais are being spared much hardship.
