He pay for that,almost with his life .What about his airport case?

with some villages under more than one metre of water

many schools have been forced to close

threatened homes along the canal now at risk of collapsing into the waterway.

The owners feared the flood would remain in the plantation for a long period and the rubber trees might die.

500 households in Mae Khari sub-district of Tamot district were affected

Flooding also reportedly hit Nakhon Si Thammarat

Residents of at risk areas in the foothills near waterways and the lowlands should be aware

An opportunity for Yingluck and her FROC to have learned from their upcountry mistakes and make some good choices to assist in the latest floods.

Redemption is hers for the taking.

.

This happen all over Asia each year including China.You must blame that on Yingluck as well.

...and THAT is exactly why I stopped listening to all of these "experts"! Said it before: put a glass of beer and a glass of water in front of me...in 2 out of 3 cases, I will be able to avoid the water...I guess, I am a water- expert as well!

Your comments show that you must be a beer expert.

Is there a monsoon in the gulf?

Yes, of course,This is a good time table with the surges: http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/EASYTIDE/EasyTide/ShowPrediction.aspx?PortID=6878&PredictionLength=7

"He asked a lot of questions."

That means he knows little.

Same like the most farangs...

"Senator Somchai Sawaengkarn said ........Pheu Thai's mandate was to govern the country, not to do anything it wants. Although the government has the right to amend laws, it must follow the rule of law and custom."

This is something the Shinawatras and their PTP lackeys find very difficult to understand.

Like spoiled brats they think only of their own interests and desires, the good of the country running a poor second. Conflict of interest is a game plan.

Like spoiled brats they think only of their own interests .......nothing wrong with that.You see that everywhere in Thailand and the rest of the world.

i think a huge worry for thailand right now is if it comes to the yellow shirts holding mass protests, i think they will be met head on and in equal number (at least) by the red shirts.

i shudder to think about it, and i don't think it's that far fetched either

Not at all. The red shirts are all for the democratic right to protest.

Yes and special when Kun Thaksin get amnesty.

Is that the guy who was one of the leaders "Occupied Airport"

Why is he not in jail?

Hmmm...is there an equivalent word in the Thai language for hypocrite?

Yes.....Farang

I think both of you are right.

The return of Thaksin will probably be a disaster for the country but all we can do is watch from the wings, as a totally selfish agenda unwinds.

The problem is the selfish blindness is on all sides.

Who knows how this will all end, let's just hope commen sense and moderation will win out.

Another coup and some sort of Government of national unity is now an increasing possibility but will not be good for the country and could tip us down an even dirtier road.

If it happens, i think it will be fast.

I don't think there are any winners in the current politics and the loser, sadly, is the ordinary Thai people.

Hope calm heads prevail.

A coup will not be good for the country, and a government of national unity actually needs at least a little bit of unity.

I don't think Thaksin or his supporters will accept anything except having Thaksin or his proxy in power. His opposition might accept a proxy if Thaksin is out of the lime light, but they won't accept him up front.

The majority of Thais want Thaksin back.They call that Democracy.The most of you guys never hear about that word.

Thailand = military kleptocracy

here's a good one for Thailand : Ineptocracy = a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers

Thanks for your comments.Europe and the U.S is doing a lot better of course.I read everyday how they handle there problems.....brilliant not????

20 foam boxes and you get 1 Leo.That's all what farangs understand.

Paeng......I can buy an atlas from the whole world for that.

Somchai affirmed that the levee is strong enough to cope with floods.

Somchai is right about it.I checked myself.I've seen many dykes in Holland of that size who can stand this.

Abdul Karim El Rajab, Zeidan Nouha

very Australian names

They wear national costume at least, that 's a proof they are Australian..

Right,then you know enough Aussies.....

What about Amsterdam.It's built 20 ft below sealevel.

I know this 80 year old thai lady who bought vacant land in bangkok a little over 50 years ago in the china town area. She bought it because it was cheap and thought it might be unusable because it was a wet marsh. Sure enough some one came along and wanted to lease it and build on it, she still owns that land today and has made a fortune on it.

Over the decades that i have lived here in thailand i have seen wet marsh built on with shop houses, hotels and apartments time and time again. Now everyone wants to blame someone else when the water now has no where else to go. Did the government build these structures? Answer: No.......When you rob mother nature she will bite you in the ass later! No man made preventive systems is 100% nature proof.

I think i even remember Thaksin saying a second bangkok should be build years ago because of the sinking.

I think i even remember Thaksin saying a second bangkok should be build years ago because of the sinking.

That's right,but then call you just the best PM Thailand ever had.

What a load of nonsense... just shows how the media can be bought and paid for.. This disaster we are going through in Thailand, was and is a man-made disaster , completely brought about by incompetent ministers in charge of all the involved agencies.. and a very naive Prime Minister.. These same people are now trying to turn the public anger away from themselves and blame everyone else.. Amazing Thailand. If Yinluck had any balls, she would resign and hang up her Burberry Boots forthwith..!

When I hear you,you're not happy with the Thai government.What are you doing then overhere.Pack your stuf and leave.

Stay in your perfect country.Greece,maybe?

Political game?????? The West knows all about it.

Someone please kick those morons out.....

Agree this brainless morons.

With Respect, if Australia couldn't deal with their floods, and every possible action was taken, what hope does Thailand have ?

That was Thaksin fault as well.They blame him for everything in Thailand,why not in Australia.

Is there any link to actually watch video of the flood areas in Bankok proper anywhere

The whole day on Thai tv.
