webfact Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 By Sirakij Pornbanggird BANGKOK (NNT) - The Prime Minister has visited Sukhothai province to seek a long-term solution to floods in the area, as citizens in many districts of Sukhothai are affected by floods whenever there is a long period of rainfall. Aside from Sukhothai, other provinces in the lower northern region also have a similar problem with recurring regional flooding. Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-O-Cha along with General Anupong Paochinda, Minister of the Interior, and Justice Minister, Somsak Thepsuthin first visited Wang Yai subdistrict in Sri Samrong, where the area has been severely inundated for days while the water level has kept rising. At Sri Samrong district, over 92 villages and 13,000 residents have been affected by the flood as water has been overflowing Mae Mok reservoir’s spillways in Lampang district for many days. The flood situation is now larger than Sri Samrong district, as overflowing water from other reservoirs has continuously flooded the western part of Sukhothai’s Mueang district and other areas. Most roads are now inaccessible by smaller vehicles. Houses are flooded and more are at risk if the water level keeps rising. The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation also reported that aside from Sukhothai, the Tian Mu storm also caused inundation in Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Lampang, Tak, Pichit, Khon Kaen, Chaiyaphum, Nakhon Ratchasima, Ubon Ratchathani, Nakhon Sawan, Chainat, Sing Buri, and Ayutthaya. In only four provinces - Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Lampang, and Tak, has the situation now been resolved. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-09-27 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Bones Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Gee, he is a really intelligent, good retired army Bloke. I wonder if he will "visit" other provinces when trickle-down sets in? I wan't aware that water flows from north to south in Thailand. Really happy he enlightened me. Floods will likely get here in Pattaya and add to further wash the sand away during Monsoon season.

Well over the years much work has been carried out for flood control in New Sukhothai city so maybe he should go after the people he paid the money to, to fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually not really if you had read up on this you would know that King Canute did not think he could control water. He tried to control water to show his underlings that he did not have this power. Because he just wanted to demonstrate his powers were limited. His followers thought he could do anything while he just wanted them to get a realistic view of him. But your not alone most people get it wrong https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-13524677 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourmanflint Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Pretty sure lots of experts were warning back in spring that in this La Nina year this would be a strong possibility. Thai fortune tellers/government advisers seem to have ignored this information for the further benefit of Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I was told but since he has been in power of govt the govt has given a lot of money to someone who has done a lot of work in and around New Sukhothai and maybe been told by them "all sorted gov" but it has failed and just sent one big lot of water to another place which I've never seen before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
