TMD four-day heavy rain alert for East and South through 25 Oct
Thursday: TMD four-day heavy rain alert for East including Chon Buri; local floods receded but low roads vulnerable to new showers; Koh Larn ferries normal under watch.
Naklua and Third Road had drained by midday Wednesday, but low stretches can pond fast again if afternoon thundershowers roll in, so slow down and ride around the puddles.
If early-evening showers arrive, a covered spot like Hops Brew House on Beach Road keeps you dry with a cold pint, and you can try Horizon's rooftop later once it clears.
