Slightly up from yesterday ?

A worrying trend ?

[chiang mai]

We're told another water release in scheduled from Chiang Dao for this evening.

[chiang mai]

The information we received about the further release of water from Chiang Dao this evening is not accurate, please disregard. My apologies, my normally reliable and trusted source was confused about what they were told.

Had lunch with a dear friend at our family run restaurant.

 

River level high, no problem, a "ferry" was provided!!

High tide this morning.

 

We are about 75cm below "worry" level.

 

The slow-motion train wreck continues 😞

Time for the monsoon to dribble away, far away.

[Crossy]

High tide at Muang Pathum Thani, looking stable.

 

Let's hope it continues that way.

Today's high tide.

We've gone up somewhat since yesterday, but overall, the current river flow seems manageable.

 

Nobody in the village is actually worried yet!

 

Big tides on Oct 18th to 22nd.

 

 

Meanwhile.

Phase-1 of the permanent flood defences is complete.

It's actually part of Madam's Grand-Plan to enclose and A/C our downstairs living area, but there's 9mm re-bar vertically into the floor slab and horizontally into the columns. There will also be a second wall inside making it a double wall which will make the top wide enough for guests to sit on.

those brick walls... Yes, during last BKK flood it was uber popular and brought lot of money to brickmen. Seriously - not funny

It's actually a sandbag replacement system.

 

We get free sandbags from the local government due to our location (wrong side of the flood defences) but they come as a kit, a truck load of sand and a roll of bags.

 

Guess who ends up filling the bags??

 

Once rendered and painted it will look ok, add large (opening) windows on top and madam will be happy. I've already planned for more solar to run the A/C 🙂

those days - I think everybody were busy filling those bags. I saw kids, volontiers and soldiers. After 10th bag the fun was over though. 

water-water >>> wasted furniture and Dengue.
