Escaping the Chiang Mai Floods: A Hectic Journey by Boat with Toby

Chiang Mai, Thailand, has been hit by significant flooding due to the rising levels of the Ping River. The floodwaters have submerged streets and homes, cutting off many areas. With no power in my condo and the situation set to continue for the next few days, I decided it was time to leave. Thankfully, a friend of mine, Mark and his lady Nam, brought a boat over to help me and my French Bulldog, Toby, escape. After wading through chest-high water, we finally made it to dry land.

Also found a cheeky VHS tape floating in the water.

Once safely out, I booked a hotel to stay for the next two days, while my buddy Mark will be taking care of Toby in the meantime. I’m set to fly out to Koh Samui for a holiday on Saturday morning, assuming the airport stays operational and doesn’t get affected by the floods. It's been a hectic day, but I'm grateful to have gotten through it safely!
