Hold off. In SIN, you're already in the neighborhood. I'm booked a week after you and I'm thinking SGN or PNH. The rest of Thailand will be open for business though. I'm leaning toward BKK still being a mess in 3 weeks. wj

I'm crossing my fingers things start to dry out by mid-November. You may want to start looking for back-up options. Siam Reap, Chiang Mai, Krabi maybe?
I'll be in Thailand starting Dec 3, and although we aren't spending heavy time in Bangkok, we do have two planned nights there. I'm less concerned about not seeing the tourist sites then just about being able to get to and from our hotels and flights. Definitely nervous at this point.

I had planned to visit by end of Nov. I figured even if the flood was over, many of the areas would still be a mess.
I've already re-booked to SGN. Too bad, was looking forward to getting to BKK again.

The river turned about 4 weeks ago and, while still very high, the lake level is slowly dropping. There are scattered intense storms still, but there have been a number of completely rain free days.Originally Posted by macdonaldj2

The canal tours I planned to take people on will be very NOLA-Katrina-esque.

Congratulations D ! Best wishes. Maybe you can get a tux-wetsuit. A good opportunity in the chaos to push a couple in-laws overboard. It'll be picturesque though. The whole town will be a floating market. Just wondering, has ex-FEMA chief Michael Brown been advising FROC ? wjOriginally Posted by dsquared37

You might consider moving to Hua Hin.Originally Posted by dsquared37

It's a long drive, but it'll be well out of the path of the flood and the Sheraton Hua Hin is very nice.
