Sukhumvit area still dry.No rain in the 60 hours since we arrived.
Have gone east to Soi 95 and yesterday to Sala Daeng and over to Surawong road.Again all dry but sandbags etc still in place.
Thais however are very enterprising-approached by a taxi driver on Surawong whose line was -the floods are coming mister but I can drive you to Pattaya now.We politely declined.
Becoming more likely that central Bangkok will remai drive as high tides for the rest of november are lower than those last weekend.But yes a barrier may fail or frustrated residents open more flood gates.
SGS now at ~ 30% occupancy-told worse than last years red shirt disturbances.
