I was out bike riding by the Riverside Restaurant. I stoped for a bit and noticed the river is up. I was there a week ago and from what I saw today, it looked to be up more than a foot. I think Chiang Mai is in for some big floods this year.

Just seen it starting to breach it's banks as we speak (type).

Intersection near Ton Payom Market is also ready to breach at the bridge..

Get the sand bags ready..

There's a tropical storm in the Bay of Bengal. It looks like it's heading towards northern Thailand. The floods may come sooner rather than later.

This will be interesting with no active mayor to sign for the necessary provisions and preparations.

I believe new elections in about 6 weeks. Maybe we can hold out till then!

I think the tropical storm has now been upgraded......

Probably means more rain on the way...... Time to dust off the link to the Flood Control for the year...

But not to worry yet as the river is only up about a foot of so at this time;;;;

Photo was taken about 15 mins ago.... on the East Bank of the River , looking North,,,,,

So not to worry yet,,,,, will try and get another same position shot tomorrow AM for all to see...

Let's get it over with now!

Get out your hip-waders!

At Ang Kaew reservoir (CMU) it went from about a meter under the spillway, a few weeks ago, to a roaring raging spillover.

An amazing transition in such a brief period of time.

Glad to be living on relatively high ground....
