Ackybang Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Oh dear, Thailand - the hub of hubbub. Groundhog Day again ? Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation ? How about the Prevention of Unmitigated Disasters in all Departments ? Thailand - Lots of Water Monitors - No Water Management. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
