Good to see the "Flood prevention and disaster mitigation mob" are in full control.

Time for a re-shuffle in their office

Give them time. They've been busy moving cats and dogs from the animal shelter. You must keep your priorities in order..................

Let's hope it's not 2011 all over again.

Because it's only knee deep...Ya wuss.

 

When it gets neck deep and you're on you're roof, they'll help. Maybe, usually.

 

Just joking Amigo. Sorry to hear you are having problems. Hope all works out well for you.

I'm sure it's not funny on your end.

Same happened to a friend in BKK back then. He got most of his stuff uf to his 2nd floor but still cost him a million baht. Marines came and got him and transported he and his wife to Nakon Nayok.

 

Floods aint funny.

 

The pathetic part is that every polotician and their brother claim they can fix an un-fixable reality.

 

Hurricanes hit New Orleans, Typhoons hit Manila. Floods happen in Krung Thep.

 

They make an etraorinary mess, and I wish they never happened, BUT, I have been thru 4 Florida Hurricances, 2 Taiwan Typhoons. 1 Phillipines Typhoon, PLUS a major Taiwan earthquake, and a couple tornadoes in Florida (a pine tree fell on me).

 

It's all in the cards folks.

Was the same as poster above under 1m+ stinking leech infested water for 3 months.
