The Chao Phraya Dam in Chai Nat is releasing water at 1,899 cubic metres per second, a rate comfortably managed by current infrastructure.

So would 1900 be uncomfortable?

During the mega-flood we stayed in our 10th floor condo. Unfortunately, both the building transformer and genset were in the basement!!

 

We spent nearly 6 months operating with a 1.2kW generator on the balcony. No lifts of course, we hauled food and fuel up using a block and tackle.

10 floor condo I would like to see the block and tackle!

I smell buffalo bs!

Have you seen or heard about the new capital city Indonesia has been building in the hills exactly for this eventuality. Clever people

I'd be careful with giving assurances like that. As we know from previous experience, when it floods, it floods - little she can do about it right then. Of course there's things they could have done proactively...

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has assured residents of Bangkok that fears of flooding are unfounded, emphasising that current rainwater levels are significantly lower compared to the devastating 2011 floods. On Wednesday, Ms. Paetongtarn reviewed the water situation at the Royal Irrigation Department in Nonthaburi.

And you think they're telling you the truth....

I'm hoping 30+ floor is high enough...

I am a lot higher than that, but how does that help when the ground floor is cut-off by flooding?

Keeping your toes dry is not much use if there is no food, etc., available 30 floors up, is it?

We had 6 to 9 inches (over 20cm) of flood

Many places get that level every

time it rains: live with it!
