The resort city of Pattaya has been heavily flooded since late last night, following three hours of torrential rainfall.
Low-lying areas and roads, such as the Pattaya 3 Road, were turned into virtual canals, impassable to small vehicles. Numerous cars and motorcycles became submerged as their owners were caught off-guard by the sustained downpour.
Pattaya police were out in force, to advise motorists not to venture onto the flooded roads. The rain has eased up this morning, but it will take several hours for the floodwater to drain into the sea.
