Writing this msg from Dusit Thani- Hua Hin:
Bus for Bangkok will be leaving on time, in next 45 minutes hotel said. And they will reach Bangkok Dusit Thani at around 2.15 pm. I will be staying in Town Lodge, and will be in Toxic Bar. If I can find any one from BKK Forum will have toast.
On other hand, my friend who use to come with me always to Hua Hin, could not meet me this time,due to this worst condition and she is moving her family to Pattaya. I told her, in case I cannot make it to Bangkok, keep a place for me in Pattaya for few days. Let's see......

Hi All, Many thanks for all the invaluable intel concerning the flooding situation in the Big Mango. The information posted on this forum has helped me tremendously, in making my decision to go on my trip to LOS. that I had booked in January. Hey, don't forget that the coconut water is also a good source of hydration.

Report from Bangkok Post dated 4 November 2011 :-
More roads, banks closed, subway at risk
===========================
Police have now closed 47 roads to traffic because of the flooding in Bangkok, as some underground rail stations are also under flood threat.
The intersection to the Ratchavibha Interchange was closed on Friday in addition to the Ratchayothin intersection on Vibhavadi-Rangsit and Phahon Yothin roads.
Four more minor roads ere also closed. They are Phraya Suren, Thoet Rachan, Chaeng Wattana Soi 5 and Chang Akat Uthit roads.
In western Bangkok, road closures now include Kanchanaphisek road (from Khlong Mahasawat bridge to Khlong Bang Phai), Ratchaphruek road (Khlong Mahasawat to Boromratchonnanee road), Suan Phak road (the Kanchana intersection to Saphan Kham Thang Rot Fai), Bang Ramat road (Kanchana road to Ratchaphruek road), Thawi Watthana road (Khlong Thawi Wattana to Kanchanaphisek).
Other routes are Phutthamonthon Sai 1 (from the southern railway transport station to Khlong Bang Phai), Thung Mangkon road (Boromratchonnanee to Suan Phak road), Chim Phli road (the Thung Mangkon intersection to the Taling Chan police station), Chaiyaphruk road (Boromratchonnanee road to Wat Chaiyaphruk) and Bang Waek road (Khlong Thawi Watthana to the Bang Sao Thong police station).
The widespread flooding in the capital has also threatened some underground rail stations.
A spokesman for the Bangkok subway, the MRT, said that three stations -- Lat Phrao, Phahon Yothin and Chatuchak Park -- were at risk and might have to be shut down if the water outside rose to 40 centimetres deep.
"We have deployed officials at all risk stations to assess the situation hourly," he said.
Skytrain operator BTS said all services were still operating.
The Bank of Thailand said 13 commercial banks and a financial firm reported that they had now temporarily closed a total of 556 branches in flood-hit provinces.
Of the total, 267 outlets are in Bangkok, 152 in Pathum Thani, 69 in Nonthaburi, 28 in Ayutthaya, 26 in Nakhon Pathom, seven in Nakhon Sawan, one in Chai Nat and the remainder scattered through other flooded towns, the central bank said.
Siam Commercial Bank had the most closed outlets, at 118, followed by Krung Thai (84) and Kasikornbank (77).
Services at 4,943 ATMs operated by the banks were also halted.
Of the total, 1,679 are in Bangkok, 1,479 in Pathum Thani, 736 in Nonthaburi, 635 in Ayutthaya, 163 in Nakhon Pathom, 57 in Nakhon Sawan, 55 in Samut Sakhon, 47 in Samut Prakan and the remainder scattered through other flooded towns.
The central bank on Thursday, Nov 3, reported the banks had closed 482 branches.

Report from Bangkok Post dated 5 November 2011 :-
MWA: Water fit to drink
================
Metropolitian Water Authorities official assured the public that tap water quality is up to standard and safe.
But the agency said it had increased the amount of chlorine to make sure the tapwater is safe.
Due to the quality of raw water, MWA needs more time to process water which cuts the production by 10 per cent at Bang Khen and Sam Sen plants, but the waterworks agency insisted it is producing enough to serve Bangkok.
MWA has strengthened its dyke at Khlong Prapa to make sure that no floodwater invades the water supply.

Next week it looks like Rama 2 road will be flooded, no one knows how much or if barriers (which are not built yet ) can keep this major road open,
This is the only remaining large road out of the city to the south and west and if its blocked there will be big problems with supplies etc
So keep a look out and if you are on either side of this area think ahead on how you might get back to the other side if its cut off,
I am sure there will be a way thru, even if its on the back of a big truck, but maybe taxis and private cars will be too low to drive thru the flooded areas.

I might have to get the boot polish tan on and dye my hair black -
Whack out my row boat and charge bat sip bat a trip!
But in all seriousness- if that road floods - it will be a bitch -
I am due there tonight and will take care to monitor that particular situation-
But ofcourse westerners stranded would be (for a fee) ferried out safely-
I doubt it will come to that-
Who knows?
Would be horrible being trapped with 800,000 hookers I imagine-
Not!!
: : : : :: : : Bangkok Tonight!!!

Yesterday I went to Gem Gallery at Rama 6 road and they said that they will be closing at 5 pm as flood water is approaching in this area. Not sure, how true it was. But there is no panic situation any where. People have accepted the fact that they have to live with it. They are trying their best to handle the situation. I will be off to Airport in couple of hours time. There are many unfinished desires remain pending. May be, just may be in next trip......
