Is flooding a big problem in Thailand?
In the bad old days floods were a problem every year. Some years were worse than others. But since the Bangkok government has installed anti-flooding measure, flooding is not a big problem in Bangkok any more. The drainage system has been upgraded and is well maintained so that even the worst floods will drain away within a few minutes…hours if we have a particularly heavy downpour. If you plan on living outside Bangkok your agent can advise you on the best places to live to avoid the problem.
