More flooding on Samui yesterday, pictures and video

More flooding on Samui yesterday

Yesterday the flood gates were opened again over Samui and in many places the roads were flooded again, in Chaweng, Lamai and Bophud a lot of water made many roads impassable again.
After my initial posts with videos and pictures from flooding earlier this week, here are some more of pictures and a video of Lamai yesterday.

The forecast looks good for today and tomorrow but Saturday strong wind and heavy rains are predicted again.


Lamai 7-11

Thanks to Marat for the video

Hi Camille, I think that second picture of 7-11 is great advertisment for the chain of shops. It shows just how desperate people are to go there :-)

Hi Paul,

Good observation!

Hi,
My daughter is on Ko Tao until Thursday, 11/11. Do you know how it is
there? How can I find out. As bad as Ko Samui?
Thank you,

Hi Steff,

Koh Tao was not as bad as Samui last week. They had electricity all the time and no serious flooding. Not sure how they fared yesterday.

I expect the ferries to run tomorrow.

Hope this helps.

Camille the pictures make shocking viewing, I don't think I'd have the balls to wade through that. Not even if I'd run out of cigarettes.

I hope it all clears up pretty soon for you and everyone on Samui.

Hi Martyn,

Everybody on Samui just hopes that the rain subsides! Looks like the rest of the week there will be some more rain pouring down though.

September is sooo far away and you should be fine. Have a look at my archives, about halfway down the page, left hand side, they go back 4 years and will give you an idea how nice the weather usually is during September.
