That should be interesting. I was at the British Club when Silom flooded but it wasn't too bad. Silom has low dipping parts that were heavily submerged but after a few hours the water was gone. But if I'm going to see the flood, I'll have to go out looking for it as I seriously doubt it'd be in my area. In BKK, if you want to see a disaster, sometimes you have to make an effort. Hmmm... just like with the Red Shirts. I just saw the alert come in about Suk – it’s predicted to flood next week. That should be interesting.

I think, judging from Google Maps, it's heading down from the north through Nonthaburi. Be patient, it takes a while! You may not enjoy it when it gets there.

I did find some - across from Ko Kret island. But when I talked to the locals they said that it always floods there. Twice a day. Where is all the water that is supposed to be making its way here?

We haven't suffered other than a temporary loss of mains water that nearly emptied the tank and the inaccessibility of the coops. However, our market town and Korat city have been under as much as 2 metres of water for nearly a week. The rains have eased off but there is no relief from the flood water. The strength of the currents suggest that the dams have been left open. I have made two entries on my blog about our local floods and there are some posts on my forum. I hope that everyone here is well away from this mess. What's the Thai expression for 'forward planning'? Is there one?
