If the water is not flowing fast enough into the sea, why not pump the stagnant water into existing wells and drill new deep wells to discharge the water into the underground aquifers?

Every inch helps, doesn't it.

Mr BK Lim has this suggestion on his article at

http://bklim.newsvin...-flood-problems

It's good to hear from someone who knows what he is talking about for a change.

I don't doubt that there are viable options for solving this, and that some plans were already completed and presented to the decision makers.

The "natural disaster" excuse does not work here, as water management is possible, although it requires long term planning and lots of money.

I just came across an article using wells to drain away the water. Seems to make sense. Why didn't anyone think of this before?

Due to flooding the British Consulate in Chiang Mai is closed today http://ow.ly/6I2L0 /via @ukinthailand #ThaiFlood /via@RichardBarrow

Would anyone know if the Railway sttn is flooded and how high? Parked my car there when I took the train to Bangkok before the flood. Thanks in advance for the info.

I have been living here for over two years on a Non O visa based on marriage to a Thai woman. I have not left the country once, and now I don't even go to the immigration office to report my address. I don't know what your information is, but I am totally legal, all of my stamps are legal

What kind of stamps do you have? You haven't seen any immigration office since two years and haven't applied for a 1 year extension with showing 400000 Baht in your thai bank account? And you are still confident that your are legal in Thailand? LOL

Please take off your rose-coloured glasses!

I thought it should be 800,000 Baht? Is 400,000 Baht a new requirement?
