No worries, Colin has inflatable airbags in his arm rests and back support of his chair, just rise above it....55555 

He has a "james bond"  style chair, wheels convert to propellers.

Ubon still have the problem....

Ubon is so terrible. Many dead, animal dead, house gone.

Thank you for kind response and being a true gentleman.

 

We have about a meter to go before all the furniture which was hastily stacked on my top floor will go under.

 

The problem was/is that the Mun river rose so rapidly that most people did not get away with anything much..it was simply a matter of fleeing and that the high ground (minimal in my area) has gone under as well.

 

 Two days ago..it is nearly at the top floor today.

 

 

How your house?

This one make me cry.

I think posting trusted places to donate would help. Donations need to go to the people and not organizers. Also no need for a big show or PR just give needed help. I understand there needs to be some coordination but no big show. 

The cave rescue was a good example with good organization. Same kind of crisis management is needed. 

Forum rule not allow me show the bank number. I try already.

 

thaivisa only give the Prayut bank account. I not think good to send that one.

But send to The actor Bin. He good guy, not corruption sure.

He already get 130  million.

His Facebook here.

So basically, a donation of 5,000B to Khun Bin goes right into the hands of a poor victim?

Sure.

He actually start with 1 million his own money. Plan to give people 1000 each. But now other people help, he now give 5000. 

The people need it. IF no more rain, it will be two week before the water go down.

some house underwater over the roof.

 

This video talk about Bin help the people.

Hopefully the government will cut through the red tape and get to work helping the people.  After all they don't want to be shown up by this great volunteer organization. Khun Bin is my hero.

The people of Ubon wait two weeks already for government. 

This people have money now because of Bin. 

If still wait for Prayut, they have nothing. Sure.

Thanks but with Bin 100% goes to the people in need. If I were the government I'd look at freeing government reserves that keep the baht so high and do some disaster bonds etc.  A 24/7 war room without all the PR would be a first step and use the Army (or Navy) constructively. 

In 2011, weren't they very fast to blame Yingluck for mismanagement? 

Don’t give to Prayut. 

 

Give to Bin. Thai people clever more than government.

Some more photo of house damege. Some yesterday. Some before.

Prayut go to Ubon

He speak to some people and say this is Peau Thai area. (Red shirt)

Then ask why he can not see the Peau Thai officials.. So some people confuse.

 

Peau Thai people been there one week already helping the people. 

(Show them in the photos on the video) 

why he not know?
