Time to get Plodprasop back on the job with his 1,000 boats to push the flood waters away.

Looks like Prayut failed to pass his prediction of no more flooding onto Mother Nature.

Soi Lengkee likely gave up months before that, or maybe everything was already shuttered/closed.

Sad, had good times in that area.
