Saw many long-term foreign residents of Chiang Mai coming together with the Thais and making sandbags to place along buildings and such.

[@petescott]

Got rescued from my apartment building last night in boats. 8.00 am thinking I'm stocked up with food and water, this will be nice to be at home a few days. 8.00 pm, climbing out of a window into a rescue boat. The joys of living in Thailand, but feel much more for those who've lost so much this year with the flooding.

[@thailandreaction]

I'm on chang klan, they started evacuating people from Astra, i need a boat

[@JonInChiangMai]

Woah really hope you’re well mate

[@petescott]

On the same road, we got evacuated by boats last night.Hope you're ok.

[@nikkian9254]

that's insane, i stayed at astra before:o 😢

[@Claudfoz]

Monetize then donate to those who need it.

[@nootthanardkunakhom2319]

บางจุด น้ำท่วมสูง เท่า เอว เท่าคอ ก็มีค่ะ

[@NickyDunn]

Feel for everyone. Take care. Thank you for sharing.

[@EddieSmith917]

Careful bro lot of unseen hazards in that kind of flood water. Bangkok 2011 was real flood. Spent a month in my appatment with an army trucks driving people to Tesco

[@corefpvathome]

I was about to write a warning to old mate Jon as well but saw ur comments here. I'm sure he realises the floods are good for cleaning the open sewage canals right under where everyone walks AND no matter about shoes being on or not...the soles of your feet are like tissues that absorb liquids straight through to the body...hence why they invented shoes and flip flops...to keep ur bloody feet out of the shite so to speak😂

[@EddieSmith917]

@corefpvathome Yes, bacterial & electrical hazards are a very real threat in Thai floods. I remember some years about a young white woman lost both legs rescuing dogs from flood waters. That's just one story of many

[@corefpvathome]

@@EddieSmith917 true true!! sounds like you have some interesting stories to tell about flooded areas and what to look out for. Go for it !!

[@corefpvathome]

@@EddieSmith917 true true!! Sounds like you have a few good stories to tell...willing to share while the "devastating flood" is happening?

[@xantee]

Ohhh that's a lot worse then i thought it would be. So sad. Poor people who are affected :(

[@dennispack4119]

How you going to get the food there? Wasn't that a nearly empty boat that went by?

[@13hubi13]

Turn on the ads and donate the money

[@Walts-Travel]

no. The way is on the super highway, The water is so deep at the lowest poit is waste deep by the train station

[@Cm-ju7zj]

Omg 😱

[@mrmartin2079]

“ how am i going to get back “ 🙄🙄 Pretty sums up the silly KZbinrs( plural ) trying to cash in ( for views / attention ) on the misery of the flooding

[@thailandreaction]

Why not? You don't think news outlets do the same thing? I appreciate being able to see the water level at the top of the street seeing I can't leave my house.

[@SideGigGuy]

Thanks!

[@JonInChiangMai]

Thanks mate!

[@saddq1]

Feeling for you, but you guys have been lucky thus far. Here in the Hat Yai area these floods are a yearly occurrence. We lost nearly all of our stuff, including cars and bikes, twice over the past 10 years due to the water reaching 2 meter levels. If you hate flooding, forget about moving to the far south.

[@mrmartin2079]

You are feeling for a silly KZbinr splashing about making videos about flooding - get a fxxking grip

[@walsakaluk1584]

There's one plastic bag in a drain causing all this.

[@TimK2646]

I can see the Insurance Industry ramping up the premiums and so life will be so tough for everyone over there. Some may never be able to insure again.

[@mrmartin2079]

Insurance ( house etc ) is Not a thing in Thailand ,unfortunately Some farang do it ( as they would normally do in their home country ) but the vast majority of Thais have no insurance for house damage from flooding

[@orgihamburger]

🙏🏻 dankec

[@Wonderwall36]

Merci !

[@JonInChiangMai]

Thanks!

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

I saw Bill from Unseen Thailand make a video from many of these locations last night and it is worlds worse now. Damn. Hopefully it doesn’t get much worse. Stay safe everyone.

[@expattrading]

I'm actually heading up there today. Had a friends birthday party in the city. Bad timing. Is everything closed? like the entire Loi Kroh area is shut down?

[@stevejohnson2130]

What alot of people don’t realise is Thai people are very resilient, they don’t make a drama out of a crisis.

[@bornonthebayou7926]

You can coat your legs in baby oil to form an impenetrable barrier against nasties in the water. Boots and what we call hip waders make mobility difficult. Survived a few major floods here in Texas. I'm very sympathetic for these impacted people. It's very difficult and challenging.

[@stevejepson9963]

The big flood a few years ago, was it 2012 or 13?, the Mahidol bridge was flooded. The sewer system backs up to flood that area.

[@nikkian9254]

oh my 😢 Stay safe out there! Hows the southern parts like Saraphi/Hang Dong?

[@louis20122]

You should have stayed home. Those wires might fall into water and cause electric shocks.

[@Mike-du1dc]

Something to consider as year upon year it seems to be getting worse everywhere weather wise. Hotter, wetter, Droughts in some areas, Volcanoes erupting, Quakes. Yes we have been noticing the last 3-4 years each year is getting worse. Good Luck! It is not too bad where we are in the mountains further north. Although a couple weeks ago it was flooded.

[@noellechristie2418]

What is the location of the yellow overpass with the sandbags, whats the location

[@Dodger1999]

I will give to the red cross or another organized charity. But I think the people are OK they are use to it and well prepared. I worry more about the businesses that cater to tourists

[@nexusbob]

hope and whish is bether soon .. becors me and wife is come in 2 weeks and stay for 3 weeks :( ---

[@sporty8383]

Is bad however not as bad yet luckily

[@HairyPixels]

$200 USD will buy 33 big mac meals at 205 baht! That's what I always eat after a flood.

[@biggooseadventures]

Monetize it because KZbin is gonna still run out

[@tonylei141]

Jon you have done a good introductory, thank you.

[@geoffharvey1268]

did you spot a space man just waiting for a lift

[@Get-A-Life]

Thanks for keeping us informed mate. Was in Chiang Mai 2 weeks ago, so devastating to see this.

[@anna_m59]

Is there any flooding in old city area at the gates?

[@douglaswilliams4274]

Wow ! I wonder is Doi Tao lake is full !

[@johnsulman5785]

Is Immigration under water?

[@anthonydowling3356]

I heard boat sales are on the up .

[@ThatOneGuy-hp2pb]

Thanks for the update

[@TC.....]

Do not live near any river

[@colinbirmingham]

Thanks for sharing !

[@jasonn6739]

How do I donate?

[@lonimacey6449]

Isn’t this normal in the rainy season. ?

[@SjaakSchulteis]

Not like this.

[@1greenMitsi]

just an opinion but but just from observation to me it seems like theres a surplus of water

[@mistercircus]

It's normal, but getting worse

[@apptrade]

Unprecedented levels of flooding. Locals tell me not since 2005 and even worse than that.

[@2kkto2]

not normal -

[@joelbowen9055]

This looks worse than the flood in 2011

[@anthonydowling3356]

Its not ,but it may get to equal 2011.

[@stevejohnson2130]

​@@anthonydowling3356correct I was here then

[@SideGigGuy]

My daughter lives in Chiang Mai, thanks for posting this??

[@jrcarlsen]

Big parts of Chiang Mai is unaffected, most affected areas are easy to leave. I have temporarily moved to a hotel in an unaffected part of Chiang Mai. I'm sure you daughter will be safe too. Most damage is to property and businesses.

[@SideGigGuy]

@@jrcarlsen yup I have been keeping in touch with. She is also helping with relief. She lives NW so is safe but has friends who are affected!! Stay safe and thanks again. Bought you coffee also

[@JonInChiangMai]

Thanks mate appreciate that, we’re going tomorrow to help out again.

[@dennispack4119]

We don't need to see your face so much ...

[@EddieSmith917]

It's like when they show male face shots in porn 😂

[@brianbucklew-g4c]

Hahahaha

[@IssacMacHawk]

Or hear his voice

[@magnumfunnels6165]

Love the sensationalist reporting, way to land on your feet after losing the job!🎉🎉🎉

[@dennispack4119]

We don't need to see your face so much ...
