Pattaya —
Three hours of heavy rain left parts of Pattaya underwater, with dozens of vehicles damaged.
On September 3rd, 2024, The Pattaya News reporters observed severe weather conditions in Pattaya, where thunderstorms and heavy rain persisted for more than three hours.
The downpour caused water levels to rise rapidly, leading to widespread flooding as the drainage system failed to cope with the deluge. Several areas were severely affected, particularly locations prone to flooding after just 30 minutes of continuous rain, such as Pattaya Third Road, Sukhumvit Road near South Pattaya Highway, and the road along the railway between Khao Talo and Soi Wat Tham Samakkhi.
The flooding on these main roads made it impossible for motorcycles and small cars to pass. Numerous vehicles were damaged as some drivers attempted to drive through the floodwaters, only to have their vehicles swept away by the strong currents. Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries. Good Samaritans and officials also assisted in pushing the stranded vehicles to the roadside.
