The news reports from the north are pretty horrific 😞 

 

At least when it gets to us it's more like a slow-motion train wreck.

 

My wife has been doing food relief all week. The whole center of the city took  1.5 meters.

 

Slow motion is right, figure maybe 1-2 meters per second, all the way to Bangkok. It may take out a lot of bridges along the way. There is a lot of water heading South from Issan too, leftovers from the Typhoon.

Had a little look at the levels In Ayutthaya and they seemed the same if not a little lower !

 

I'd hope they are letting water out in anticipation...

Really nothing much going on for now.

 

Latest high-tide at Pak-Kret

 

 

Meanwhile, Madam has determined that we are building a 50cm "flood wall" for our downstairs area. It's actually part of the plan to enclose the area but that bit has been accelerated "just in case".

 

A height of 50cm will take us over the level experienced in 2011 and is well above the 2022 flood level.

Would you advise against a trip in from Cambodia by road over the next few days? Looks a bit gnarly.

We do have a slight rise in level here, 1.5m below "worry" but not a whole lot of stuff happening at Pak-Kret (latest high-tide).

 

I think it´s a great initiative that they put red color on the pole when water is running over the fence. That way, we all understand that is dangerous. What would we do without the red color? 🤣

Anyway, it looks like it has been quite stable and no need to panic.
