The people in the flood area now need money from there family work in Bangkok. If Bangkok flood again same 2011, it will big problem. This is nowhere close to the water of 2011.

lopburi3 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Much different than 2011 this year - North and Northeast have very little water until now so most of this will be put to good use in storage and going into the ground rather than run off to the ocean. In 2011 all storage was full and it continued to rain (and there were protective measures by some provinces to route water elsewhere). Could it happen again? Suspect it could - but not from a storm or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one 3 weeks. So bad. I said said in my post “not to much”. But I also say “like 2011”. So I wrong about that. You right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said said in my post “not to much”. But I also say “like 2011”. So I wrong about that. You right. Indeed heavy rain for a few hours makes a mess - but I remember when we had major roads flooded for weeks here in Bangkok - that does not happen anymore. As for northern water runoff it takes weeks to get here and in most cases the majority of the water is lost in the trip so not more than high river tides.

Lucky you missing most of the storm, we got hammered. Banphai certainly got the worst of it, main highway blocked nearly 3 meters of flooding in some areas. But hey i am still alive ( not kicking though) and now the sun is shining, my wife here by my side, perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "rumour" was, when they were built that Thaksin owned one of them and was an investor? they were 16 million each, probably 20m as none have sold!

Well allegedly, brother & sister own that huge mansion not far from Thanwa town, Ban Leaum. And, keeping the subject on topic... ...the river was the highest I've ever seen it, saw a few locals fishing. It reminded me again that Thailand is a lovely country.

I have had locals visit me at home checking i am ok, if you need help ask 1 man said. My wife has just left to go to the temple with approx 10 kilo pla duk from our tanks to help feed a few people.
