Not Just Another Day In Pattaya

[Armando]

Three years ago I watched them dig up all of the drainage pipes along the ocean (which were those cheap small diameter plastic pipes), and replace them with those large concrete castings.

Until around 2009 my soi in Bangkok would regularly flood during monsoon rains. Usually the depth was nearly a meter making even wellington boots a waste of time. That year, the BMA raised the level of the soi and replaced all the drainage pipes in our and adjoining sois with the large concrete ones Dodger mentions. Since then we have had absolutely no flooding, not even during the dreadful 2011 floods.
