I know some members look out for this thread each year, so to avoid disappointment here it is.

Well, we've had some rain, and the river is rising, nowhere worrying yet but the village is "a bit damp".

 

High tide at Pak Kret, still well in the green, we worry when it reaches the top of the concrete beam.

I was hoping we wouldn't need this topic this year. Alas, it appears some flooding is on its way.

A little before high-tide at Pak-Kret.

 

Creeping into the orange, not particularly worrying for us. Yet!!

More coming. When does it get here?

 

Very difficult to predict really, it depends upon the weather (obviously) but also upon how the authorities decide to manage the levels in the dams.

 

This time last year Pak Kret was just below the red sign on the level indicator and we had water in the house. We don't want that again this year!!

Will this push more downstream faster?  https://thethaiger.com/news/national/ayutthaya-builds-dykes-to-protect-homes-amid-rising-chao-phraya-river-levels

They do something similar each year, either portable or more permanent, it certainly keeps more water in the channel but just how much effect it really has downstream is debatable.

Here in Ayutthaya I see the river level is high, my local Wat ( Phanan Choeng) is the indicator as it is where 2 rivers ( Chao Phraya and Prasak ) merge, not time to lift the flood barriers just yet

This video from 30 sept 2022:

 

 


but any major release up north will see those plates lifted and a thick rubber laid across, how effective this is I’m not sure but is protection for the Wat only !

Those downstream can fend for themselves ….. sorry @Crossy

Local high water. Just at the top of the green at Pak Kret but nothing to worry about, yet.
