- Thailand's rainy season (May-October) brings a ton of rain, raining almost daily. Bangkok is a sinking city (sinks below sea level about 2cm per year). In this video, I show you what the rain situation is like in my area / neighborhood.

Dang dude. I'm glad your house was okay. Reminded me of our time in Malaysia.
Water still found a way to seep in through the floor, but very little versus the water outside. Sept 7 last year was the worst storm/flood in Pattaya for over 50 years . The water level was 20 cm higher than the previous worst storm / flood a few weeks before and another one about six years ago.
I have a one inch steel frame and galvinized sheet steel and foam around the edges for a good seal. I put this in front of my gate. I also have a 30 cm wall at the front door, tiled of course, and we have screw-in caps on the bathroom drains in the floor. If you would like fotos to replicate them, let me know.
Let me know. Believe me, it gives a lot of piece of mind being able to look at water in the street and having a wall as protection. It helps to sleep at night. And it will come up through the floor drains as well.
@@dksharron Not an issue for me. As you saw in the video, my floor is raised high enough. Also, that sounds miserable having to constantly keep removing a steel wall. Also, all those walls ruins the aesthetics of the house. Appreciate the suggestions though. And I'm not worried about the interior drains because I have a safety check valve in the pipe where water can only exit my home and into the city sewer (but cannot come in the other direction).
@@DeanBKK OK. I put the steel wall ( 15 pounds) up only a couple of times / year. It takes only a couple of minutes. Some neighbors have built one as well, and in some areas of Pattaya, entire villages could benefit from it.
Look forward to seeing your car finished.
saw a glimps of your cefiro during the heavy down pour, where did you store it?
Haha that was an old clip from a previous rain storm. Cefiro is in the paint shop now.
Is it worse or better in September usually?
Probably the same, with October being the wettest month I think. November is much nicer.
Visiting bangkok in august 13 will it be raining at that time
Yes. Maybe 1-2 hrs per day.
@@DeanBKK i wanted to know as you are local could you let me know if i can rent bike in koh larn island without driving licence i know if we do that in bangkok then police catches is there police in koh larn island as well please let me know
@@FutureAITrend No problem in island. About Bangkok, use taxi and train better. Renting motorbike in BKK is not recommended for beginner.
@@DeanBKK thank you
Why are you wearing a mask alone in your house? Corky from life goes on emoji.🤣
