EHoward Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I've just joined this forum today as I can't get in contact with my Dad who lives in Nakhon Ratchasima - he's not answering the phone and I wondered if anyone please has any news on the area? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serenitynow Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 My brother in law and sister in law live in "Montana II " village on that road that goes between Future Park and Nakhon Nayok. I asked them several days ago to come stay with us but they demurred. Can anyone tell me the present situation in that area please? I've not been able to contact our relatives these past two days. Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoonDizzy Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 serenity now. I live about 2kn south of future park. The roads are flooded to about 30-50cm but a lot of the private villages have there own flood defences at the moment. Our village is bone dry but 100 yards up the road it's up to about 40cm or so.

GoonDizzy Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) ''I live about 2kn south of future park.'' Sorry, I live about 2km south of Dreamworld! About 12 miles east of Future Park but as the man above says, the village is ok. Edited October 16, 2011 by GoonDizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frodo Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I had gotten word from a few people on Klong 2, Rangsit Nakhon Nayok, that flooding has started. From what I am able to understand (I'm not fluent in Thai), it is moving slow and about 1.9 meters. Another gave me this link: http://www.rangsit.org/index.php http://www.rangsit.o...show_report.php According to my Thai friend this is regarding Klongs 1-6 in Rangsit and if the levels reach 2.9 meters, they will ask everyone to move to the second floor of their home. The chart at the bottom shows the date, next of course is the time, and the orange is showing the highest water level at that time. The last column is showing Saphan Daeng Klong or Klong 1. Hope this helps A quote a few moments ago from a lady in Klong 2: "However, at this point of time ... 20.00 pm, 2.75 mtr water height at water gate, make sure that you have packed your things and moved to higher level. If your place is really under the road surface, you shall plan to evacuate." Not trying to create rumors or anything of the sort, but staying informed the best I can and sharing it. I'm keeping a very close eye on the Saphan Daeng Klong. As of 3PM water has risen to 2.90, which according to an earlier post was a time to start moving things. I will ask around and keep information updated as I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frodo Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Take it as you will. This from a lady on Klong 2 in Rangsit: Yes, please get ready ....... Plenty of Military along the klong are now up to more Sand Pile...get ready now. See around yourself if anything needed to be packed and bring up to 2nd floor.

frodo Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Rangsit Municipality is installing new pumps at the moment and draining water. No threat at this time, but they did say if water levels increase they may order an evacuation notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frodo Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 If you're on Nakhon Nayok road in Rangsit, I would strongly advise you begin to move your things upstairs. My village is beginning to flood, and it's not a pretty sight right now. It's slow, but steady. I'm at the end of klong 2, near klong 3. Very flooded!! The klongs were opened last (1-4) night and the water has to go somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whybother Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) I just walked past Klong Saen Seap (Asoke/Petchaburi) and it actually looks like it's lower than normal.(ie at or below pre-flood levels) Edited October 19, 2011 by whybother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ResX Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) When all this misfortune is over, I have a take home message for all of you. Regulate the SOPs of your dams operators. You don't have to remember me. You can ignore all my posts. Just take home with you this one. Good luck mates.
