Seems this year is the worst I've seen. Was held last year in Ubon, and seen Don Muang with water to the edge of lower highway.
I feel for those affected (Quite a vast area I am afraid) and hope the Winter Monsoon will be Calm

For BKK, the crucial time is from Oct 16 to 20 when high tide in the gulf serves to slow the flow of the Chao Phraya. If it continues to rain, it could be the worst flooding in memory, according to forecasters. It absolutely pissed down all morning till about 2:00 pm today. I am near the river by the major hotels and the river is high, but still contained. No flooding in this part of BKK yet

2 routes into Patong have seen roads subside. The patong-kamala road has lost half a lane in Kalim and there is a big crack along the Kathu side of the hill leading to Patong. There was massive flooding at the north end of patong again last tuesday and a heavy shower in the am yesterday. Heavy rain supposed to be hitting us again in the next couple of days so stand by for updates. At least if the road caves in we won't have to worry about a tunnel, 555.

The photos above are Phuket, so you probably need to be a little more specific about your question.

Jeez. Unbelievable. This is precisely why I didn't schedule my trip in October. Rain-a-phobic.
Anybody know when the summer monsoon "officially" ends?

I think the rainy season for most of Thailand is officially May to November, with September and October being the wettest months.
Hopefully the sun will be out when I touch down on 29th October, maybe just a last clearing shower
