Good in theory..... wonder how much. also wonder how much damage the condensation will do.. or when the heat hits it if it will blow up a bit.

With Thailand's climate, they would need something to absorb the humidity in the car.

I heard Homepro had them for 1,500b before the floods, now 5,000b

dam_n! That's so simple why didn't I think of that? I was close to something similar last night in my quest to replace sand bags my plan was to use my car cover and get a pile of sand delivered and pile the sand inside and fold it over itself, but now we can't find sand .. Yep all the inventions and ideas have been discovered .. It's not for long term use it's for times like these and ANY amount of humidity temporarily is going to be far better then submersion if you're unable to get to higher ground..

I'd be concerned about the bottom though as the cars weight rolling in could easily put holes in it which would defeat it's purpose so it should have stronger runners or thicker material on the bottom.. Just as good, when you use it put a layer of sand on the bottom before pulling the car in. But still a good, cheap, quick solution.

Someone should report that if it's true, it's illegal even here and the government warned about that type of gouging ..

Brillant idea.....NOT.

Wrapping your car in a watertight polyethelene (or whatever) bag will trap air inside.

This will have the effect of making the whole package effectively lighter.

So when there is enough water to lift the car/package you will see it start to float away with the current.

No way! The plastic can't support that amount of weight, that might happen only IF it was completely submerged and a strong current applied and it would't last that long . Besides why is it always the impossible scenario with some here, no grey areas, worst case or no case nothing in between?

You can always put a straw in it to suck the water out - just like the thoong naam daeng.

There is one thing to be considered in this though. The cars they show are underwater because they filled up with water, if they didn't they'd become buoyant at a much lower water level and they will become buoyant if they're air tight which the bag does..

Therefore they might float around a bit but as long as the bag stays in tact and doesn't get punctured by something sharp then when you find it kilometers down the road later and open it the car should still be dry but this is another significant reason to do as I suggested and put down a nice thick layer of sand first to aid as an anchor.. They should also install a one way air valve in the top like those they have on air mattresses or those vacuum bags that allow air in but not out, only in this case the opposite way around and that would relieve the air pressure from inside without allowing high volumes, if any, water back in, but the idea does have merit with some tweaking..

They really do need the air relief valve so the bag collapses on the car or it may blow a seam or the folded seal wide open under heavy pressure..
