Esta es la comunicación oficial que recibí hoy de la embajada Tailandesa en Buenos Aires:
"Flood situation in Thailand (as of 11 Oct. 2011)
Major tourist destinations such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Sukhothai,
Kanchanaburi, Pattaya, Phuket, Krabi, Ko Samui, and all provinces in southern
Thailand are experiencing normal weather conditions. All airports throughout
Thailand, including Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, have not been affected by
The floods and are operating as per usual.
Banskok
+ The areas of central Bangkok (for example Sukhumvit, MBK/Emporium/Central
World/Paragon Shopping Centers) where tourists normally go are not flooded and
Fully accessible.
+ During periods of intensely heavy rain, there is some localized flooding of
Certain low-lying streets in Bangkok, esp. Near the Chao Phaya river.
Visitors can check water levels in each district of Bangkok at the Royal Irrigation

- Avutthaya
Alutthaya has been widely affected by the floods. This includes Ayutthaya's inner
City island and world heritage sites. Tourist attractions on and outside the island
Of Ayutthayahave been temporarily closed due to the floods.
Tourists who would like to visit cultural attractions can consider Sukhothai
Historical Park in Sukhothai.
- Other provinces
Train services from Bangkok to northern destinations beyond Ayutth aya are
Suspended, with only limited services in the areas affected by the flooding.
Travelers can contact the SRT Call Center at 1690 for updates regarding train
Services.
The flood has increased travel time on long-distance bus services operating
Between Bangkok and the north as they must use alternate routes.
