Apparently Bangkok has not yet been directly affected by the flood. The city has been encouraged to evacuate and the shelves at the supermarkets have been wiped clean of water, noodles and condoms (yeah, I don't know, people still gotta have sex). Although there is a slight panic that flood waters will invade the city central Bangkok is unaffected and dry.
This is a pretty great article:

I have 13 more days until I'm boarding a plane to Thailand. My first stop, after a 10 hour flight, is Tokyo. My second plane transfer is in Bangkok, then to Chiang Mai. I think by that time weather should clear up and things should get back to normal. Let's hope.
Thanks for reading.
