More rain is expected this evening, July 2.
If you were caught up in it, I hope you thoroughly showered and disinfected yourself, especially legs and feet. I don't even want to think about what the flood waters were probably carrying.

Re: Record rain storm in Pattaya - July 1, 2025
That video starts on Soi Bukhao, if I'm not mistaken.
I've seen flooding at that exact location after a very short burst of rain & sheltered from the rain in that branch of Subway.
There are drains, but these are totally inadequate. Particularly when the authorities love covering as much of Pattaya as possible in concrete.
They did put some 2m diameter pipes in on second road. I wonder how that coped ?

Are the main roads still flooded?
I plan to be zipping around Patts tomorrow doing some shopping...chat with friends...pinching a few butts, etc., but don't want to ride my motorbike if it still looks like Venice.
Any update would be appreciated.
