Water still found a way to seep in through the floor, but very little versus the water outside. Sept 7 last year was the worst storm/flood in Pattaya for over 50 years . The water level was 20 cm higher than the previous worst storm / flood a few weeks before and another one about six years ago.
I have a one inch steel frame and galvinized sheet steel and foam around the edges for a good seal. I put this in front of my gate. I also have a 30 cm wall at the front door, tiled of course, and we have screw-in caps on the bathroom drains in the floor. If you would like fotos to replicate them, let me know.
Let me know. Believe me, it gives a lot of piece of mind being able to look at water in the street and having a wall as protection. It helps to sleep at night. And it will come up through the floor drains as well.
@@dksharron Not an issue for me. As you saw in the video, my floor is raised high enough. Also, that sounds miserable having to constantly keep removing a steel wall. Also, all those walls ruins the aesthetics of the house. Appreciate the suggestions though. And I'm not worried about the interior drains because I have a safety check valve in the pipe where water can only exit my home and into the city sewer (but cannot come in the other direction).
@@DeanBKK OK. I put the steel wall ( 15 pounds) up only a couple of times / year. It takes only a couple of minutes. Some neighbors have built one as well, and in some areas of Pattaya, entire villages could benefit from it. Look forward to seeing your car finished.
@@DeanBKK i wanted to know as you are local could you let me know if i can rent bike in koh larn island without driving licence i know if we do that in bangkok then police catches is there police in koh larn island as well please let me know
Dang dude. I'm glad your house was okay. Reminded me of our time in Malaysia.

Is it worse or better in September usually?
Probably the same, with October being the wettest month I think. November is much nicer.
saw a glimps of your cefiro during the heavy down pour, where did you store it?
Haha that was an old clip from a previous rain storm. Cefiro is in the paint shop now.
Visiting bangkok in august 13 will it be raining at that time
Yes. Maybe 1-2 hrs per day.

@@FutureAITrend No problem in island. About Bangkok, use taxi and train better. Renting motorbike in BKK is not recommended for beginner.
@@DeanBKK thank you
Why are you wearing a mask alone in your house? Corky from life goes on emoji.🤣
