October 27, 201114 yr We are thinking of all the people who are affected by the floods in Bangkok and surrounding areas. Any photos?
October 28, 201114 yr Chao Praya tonight, friday 28th october 2011, looking benign and beautiful.The water almost looks clean and there has been no river traffic for about a week giving it a more serene quality - camera is lying again.

October 30, 201114 yr Floods dup of above link but great shots Edited October 30, 201114 yr by phuketrichard
October 30, 201114 yr Difficult to follow the previous link but here are some phone shots from this morning [sunday]
October 31, 201114 yr Author Thanks Katana and PhuketRichard for that link, it really sums up how bad the situation is. My thoughts are with all who live in Bangkok and surrounding areas.
November 1, 201114 yr Tuesday : took a camera with me today, it is easier to wade through the current with it round my neck than struggling with a phone in my hand
November 3, 201114 yr Info for people not in Bangkok : All my photos are taken in a small community in Chinatown, the flooding here is caused by the volume of water in the river meeting the high tide from the sea.This is not the same as the flooding to the north of Bangkok which is a vast lake of uncontained water gradually moving south.The people in this community are more used to flooding as it happens here to a lesser extent most years.The photographs are my take on their ability to carry on as normal albeit in 2 or 3 feet of water.The communities to the north have a more serious situation to deal with and it is definitely not business as usual. Given the vast scale of this disaster, covering a significant percentage of Thailand, it would be interesting to hear and see from some other members how it is impacting their community.
November 3, 201114 yr Thanks for posting pics, great photo report. It's worryful... My friend told me she 's been watching the water coming nearer and nearer, she's well prepared but ...wow... still stressful. Edited November 3, 201114 yr by Femme

November 10, 201114 yr More pics: http://www.pixpros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=62721 Normally we do not permit links to other Thailand related sites, but in this case I am allowing this link as it shows something of the misery that people are experiencing. Astral
