Three heavily-flooded districts of Ayutthaya have been declared disaster areas as the province is opening up fields to absorb water and lessen the knock-on effects of the floods expected to be felt in Bangkok from Sunday to Monday.

Bang Ban, Sena and Phak Hai districts, which are part of the province's major rice-growing areas, are bearing the severest brunt of the inundation.

It's a shame but Ayyuthaya get hit every year. The wife's provience of Chainat also now hit with the flooding.

Suphanburi (next door to Ayuttaya) also floods when river water is diverted to 'lessen the knock-on effects of the floods expected to be felt in Bangkok...'...we had some old folks staying next door at MiL's place that got flooded out of their houses at the home town village the last time it happened.

I say let the bastids in BKK drown ...
