I'm looking for some reliable places to eat in Bangkok, especially in areas that didn't flood during the recent heavy rainfall. I've been to some of the street food stalls in Khlong San and they're really good, especially the pad thai on the corner of Khlong San Road and Soi 18, which is worth going to in the afternoon.

I'm heading to Chaengwattana to renew my visa, but I've heard the 2-day office closure has caused a huge backlog. I got a queue number this morning, but I'm not sure how long I'll have to wait. Has anyone else been there today?
I've been noticing that when I'm driving through flooded areas, it's mostly German cars like BMWs and Porsches that get stuck. Is it because the drivers are more likely to try to drive through the deeper lanes, or is it something to do with the cars themselves?
My girlfriend and I live in Phra Khanong and we're planning to leave by train for Nong Khai tomorrow on the 28th, but the flood water is still bad. We cancelled our ticket tonight as we read it may get better, but maybe it will get worse? We just can't be sure. Has anyone had any luck in contacting the tourism authority (TAT) or immigration about this?
