The depth of morning flood in Thailand

At this time of year when the river is so high, there is a flood even when there is no rain due to the high tide. This photo shows the flooded lawn of the Portuguese Embassy. So, if it rains at the same as a high tide, then it will be really bad as the water has to wait to drain

This is the high tide flood on Sukhumwit Road in Samut Prakan this morning. We just had a big storm which would have doubled the depth of this flood. If it rains when there is a high tide, the water cannot drain until the tide goes out again which takes several hours
