The sandbags are out in Bangkok and the special unit for flooding is being alerted but I think it will be floods in Bangkok anyway. Even if they clean the drainage tunnels every week the food wanders will still fill them up with oil and food every night and then complain to the city consul when the flood comes.
If you wonder why the houses around sathorn soi 1 are so expensive it is because sathorn is on a small hill and the rain water does not affect them. Every year they can just smile and see the water in Bangkok flood the lower areas of Bangkok.
This is actually the best time to look at houses and apartments if you want to buy one. You can see with your own eyes if your new condo will be under water or not in the rainy season. You cannot ask the seller because they will just tell you they never see this soi flooded even if they had water up to their ears last year.
