I bow to your brilliance. However, I'd like to see the original Thai press clipping. No-one can be this silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's BKK; the north can cool down earlier. Our sports Day is late Nov. and it's always quite hot then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansnl Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 6 hours ago, Dexlowe said: The floods will ease if rains stop? Nah, that defies normal Thai logic. It is perfectly logical. It also implies, like it or not, humans can not control nature in whatever way. Even in the Netherlands, a country renowned for its water management, be it sea or rivers, nature defies all things built by humans to control water. What Thailand needs, upstream, is millions of trees to hold the rainwater, wide riverbeds and overflow areas, and Bangkok to be made a huge polder and, yes, the river needs much more room and huge dikes. It might be advisable to dig stream channels to lead river water around Bangkok polder...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Give the man a medal, please, will you? Agriculture and Cooperative Minister General Chatichai Sarikulya enlightened the specialists by revealing that floods will ease if rain ceases.

Bill Miller Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 It IS funny, and fun to poke fun, but after reading the article it seems the point may be that it will take about a month for everything to settle ONCE the rains have ended. Just another possible interpretation. Could be another instance of journalistic amateurism, or insufficient English language skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
