Understandably everyone in Thailand at present is pre-occupied. When the government gets back to work in a week or so then there might be a chance of help coming. In the meantime they should keep their fingers crossed and give their amulets a big hug and a prayer.

Are there other villages or towns that will be affected by this levee burst?  Sounds like this could have a snowball effect very quickly.

I don't think it is understandable, but I know what you mean.  The people's welfare should be the prime concern of the government
