Central BKK area is not that bad. Eastern areas, yes, Ayutthaya area, yes.
Siam-MBK area, Sukhumvit, not really. I asked over the phone with someone staying there and drives daily. It's more like a sprinkling of showers over the main city. When I was there two weekends ago, the rain poured down around 5-8:30pm, then subsided. Nice, clean air after that Saturday and the following Sunday.
I'm staying in Sukhumvit now and there is no flooding here. The rain seems to have died down bit the last couple of days so hopefully the worst is past.
my friend posted in fb the link on bkk post saying more rain to come... gosh... hope the rain goes away by saturday... as i am flying there for a week..
When I arrived today at 1715, I could see many areas around the airport underwater , that was when plane was on approach, and it looks very gloomy with rain clouds all around........ sitting in the lounge, I did did hear thunder....

Having read a few websites and seen the news I have to say it doens't look good, but the general consensus seems to be that they centre of Bangkok may just get away with it. The next couple of days are crucial.
I'll be keeping an eye on it as I am probably going through BKK next weekend.
, in case you're up for a midnight drink, Lobster - presume you're at the SGS?
Sorry I missed this but actually I think I was sound asleep by midnight.
It was looking bad last night with the heavy rain. But it is lovely sunny morning today so we will keep our fingers crossed that it stays that way and gives the water some time to flow away.
