The seaside resort of Pattaya is recovering from the flash floods which hit earlier on today. A combination of heavy rain and garbage-filled drains created a situation which saw flood levels reach up to 2 metres high in some areas in the middle of the city, such as Soi Buakaow. Pattaya residents have been complaining for a number of years about the increased incidences of flooding caused by the poorly maintained drainage system. This most recent flood had tragic consequences for a British tourist who died following an apparent electric shock he received whilst wading through water on the way back to his room.
