Yes then it would be coming towards you.. but if its a retention area then they will control the discharge .. i think. 

Who's doing this controlling? Please don't say Thais. They're on the piss for another 3 days and then they'll be recovering and then they'll be . . . well, Thais. I'd hate to be at the mercy of ANYTHING these govt. employed types control.

Crossy,

 

Not only that id like to know if its a blanket of water km wide or that this will be drained through the river with maybe some flooding on the river banks. The information is always insufficient. They are talking about areal photos and satelite images. Why don't they show them.

 

The stupid junta is doing exactly the same thing YL did in 2011 keeping people in the dark. 

Look at the tide table. If the flood water enter the Bangkok area around the 7th to 9th of November the result will be the same as 2011. There is however a difference between YL and the junta. YL only came 1 month before the floods and was kept in the dark by officials. The junta have been in control for 3 years. To prevent flooding the dams must be emptied from March to allow enough time. Due to the previous years drought the junta did not drain enough water from the dams and this is the result. Well to say the truth if there is 36 goverment agencies taking care of anything they will F it up. That is the crux of the problem. Just a reminder YL approved K water to design a water management system, this B 35 bn was used by the junta for drought relief. You can go back to these reports and see that people like me warned of the the juntas short sighted approach to managing water resources. You can also go back to news reports regarding the YL governments efforts to buy land in the Bangkok area to create a waterway to divert flood water around Bangkok. In these reports you will see that these efforts was politised by certain people and in the end the junta took over the country before these waterways could be created. An interesting foot note is that there is a video about the late King explaining how such waterways would prevent flooding in Bangkok. Goodluck to the Bangkok people you have a greater than 50 % chance of being flooded this year, but you have a 100% chance to be flooded in the near future. But the fact is you blocked effected government, you begged for a coup, you prevented an election, now it is time to pay the price for your actions.

I did not block a government, and i still prefer the junta over YL. YL held water in the dams that flood us all. Her minister did so. I know its hard for true believers like you to see the light but one day you will see the Shins are not the solution they are a pest. Neither is the junta the solution but at least they let water out of the dams unlike YL. The did so before the high water in October. 

 

YL did have a water plan a mere 35 billion compare that to what Prayut has reserved its a pittance. When did YL her water plan start ? Did not see anything of it in her years in office. How come she did not do anything at all. Junta did not take over till 2014.. what did she do in 2012 and 2013...  Spend like crazy on the rice program.. and kept the dams up to get more rice planted. It made 2011 worse.

 

I don't think its as worse as 2011.. if you see the images. It wont happen still it pays to be virgilant.

His maps show the difference between 2011 and 2017 also the people posting here all say its nothing like 2011. Thankfully the junta had much beter control of the dams.  I like what crossy is posting it shows real data that is what we needed. 

 

In 2011 I was already flooded, and water was nearing, thanks to Crossy and others and Ssujoop with his posts we put things in perspective. Things are far from 2011.

These are a couple of maps I pinched from our villages facebook page. At this time, most of Nonthaburi (including my house), was flooded in 2011. The situation is vastly different than 2011( first map). There has been and could be further localised flooding in some areas that are not protected by levees along the river. It the water remains in the flood retention areas and released gradually, I don't see a problem. Fingers crossed for no more rain!

I was managing some regional land survey work in a Bangkok office in 2011 and the extent of the flooding nationwide was freely available in the public domain via several websites. I recall the one most frequently referenced was http://flood.gistda.or.th/indexEN.html

 

These can be zoomed to show a very close, high-definition extents of standing surface water. 

 

The real problem is the Bangkok-centric way that any information or guidance is delivered. If anyone outside of Bangkok is relying on the government for accurate, up-to-date and relevant information on the extents of the flooding or depending on their local, provincial government to mitigate the effects or assist after the fact, they just have to look back 6 short years ago to see how well that worked. They are only ever worried about Bangkok going underwater for any prolonged period of time. It doesn't matter that millions of hectares and thousands of homes have been inundated up-country.

 

Anyway, per the carefully sanitized terminology used on the OP by Thai PBS, this is a just 'a huge water mass' and not a flood.

Yes this is along the lines that I am thinking that its different. This time still it is scary because its the worst since 2011.

2010 was worse than this year. At that time, one of the U-turns (near where the Bavarian used to be) on Chaiyapreuk Road (you may know it) would get flooded, especially on high tides. That hasn't happened at all this year. They have, however, put down some sandbags on the other side of the road in some areas.

I know the road.. i live near central westgate bit more towards sai noi. The village I live in never ever got flooded, only in 2011.

Who's doing this controlling? Please don't say Thais. They're on the piss for another 3 days and then they'll be recovering and then they'll be . . . well, Thais. I'd hate to be at the mercy of ANYTHING these govt. employed types control.

Gravity and water level in the flooding river should be controlling this. Water retention areas are created by making an opening in a levee or dike to let water into a closed off, limited area. When the water level in the river falls, the water in the retention area should drain back into the river through the same opening. This method is, if done right, foolproof and self regulating.

Agreed, this time in 2010 we had about a metre of water under our home near Ayutthaya and school opening was deferred for a week. Today there is only about 7" across my front yard and just sitting.

Of course, there is still that volume of water at Phitsanulok which has to come down.

I know that I do not want to live or own any land in the , Monkey Cheeks area in Thailand, as that is where

the flooding seems to affect.
