Hua Hin is the only city near me at the moment that has foreigners. In the north far far from any big foreigner towns. Going to be a pain if a person has to make a monthly trip of hundreds of miles. -

Report Race Against Time: Bangkok May Be Below Sea Level by 2030
Composite for reference only Bangkok's Infamous Floods Set to Worsen as City Sinks Alarming Rate Bangkok, already infamous for its snarled traffic and severe flooding, now faces an even more alarming future - potentially vanishing beneath the waves within a decade if climate change and unchecked development continue at their current pace. Recent studies have flagged Bangkok and Jakarta as two of Southeast Asia’s fastest-sinking cities. According to The Guardian, Bangkok is subsiding by over a centimetre each year and could fall below sea level by 2030, posing a grave threat to millions of residents and jeopardising the Thai capital’s status as a major tourism and business hub. Jakarta, facing a similar situation, is sinking even faster—dropping up to 17 centimetres annually, primarily due to excessive groundwater extraction. In response to the sinking threat, Indonesian officials have endorsed an ambitious plan to relocate the capital city, moving it 100 miles away from Java. Projected to span a decade, this massive undertaking will cost approximately 1.2 trillion baht. Bangkok faces an equally formidable challenge. To combat the annual deluges during the monsoon, the city has turned to creative solutions like Chulalongkorn University Centenary Park, an 11-acre green space designed to absorb a million gallons of rainwater. However, experts caution that such efforts are merely temporary solutions against the backdrop of rising sea levels. A significant study from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore foresees global sea levels rising by as much as 1.9 metres by 2100 if carbon emissions remain unchecked. “The high-end projection underscores the need for decision-makers to plan critical infrastructure accordingly,” stated Dr Benjamin Grandey, lead author of the research. These projections highlight the urgent necessity for Bangkok to implement sustainable infrastructure and climate policies. Urgent measures are needed to both mitigate the subsidence of the city and prepare for the long-term effects of climate change. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-07-16- 1
