Any flood warnings?

Anyone know if things in the Chiangmai Mai area are having flood issues? I'm going to be in the gay area but my friend will be going to the temples and umberella factory

Rising tide of inane posts cresting here Oct 11 and not forecasted to go down until well after Nov 11.
Everyone here should have their hip waders on standby now.

No skin off my back. Figured I would go to a message board and ask people in the know if the tourist area of Chiang Mai is experiencing problems with floods.

I figured any input would be helpful to others and not only myself but I will ask around on facebook or gayromeo. :hello2:

If I want a reliable weather report I'll go to the Weather Channel. If I want an opinion on who's up who in Pattaya or Soi Twilight and whether it's worth 1500 baht I'll come to the Gay Sex Tourism site. Just a thought bucknaway.

You can do that but I don't know how close a flood is to a place I'm visiting. And flood is more of a condition and less about the weather.

I was in Chiang Mai this morning (Saturday) and was in the area for several days. No sign or talk of flood problems. At Mae Hong Son the river is a bit high but no flooding. On the flight from CM to bkk today I saw some extensive areas of flooding but not near to CM.

Thanks for the info Mancs. I was beginning to worry since I was getting email updates from Thaivisa telling about flood problems and potential floods.

I was in Thailand when things were in short supply due to the major floods. Even the Bangkok weekend market was closed! I don't want to head into flood problems when I don't need to.

Your report eases my worries! :hello2:

There's two months no-one in their right mind visits Thailand and they both have to do with water - April and October.

As a resident of Pattaya, I agree that people are certainly not using good judgment in planning trips here in October. The forecast here is for rain, rain, rain. Haven't been to the beach in over a week.

of course some would say that there's no such thing as the wrong weather, only the wrong clothes ! And every day should be enjoyed, whether it's rain, hail or shine - although I guess that's easier said than done if you're sitting on the beach in your swimming trunks in a hail storm :-)
