tragickingdom Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) It is a pretty big mess. The Bangkok "only listen to me" governor overruling the Central Government time after time and some other uneducated hotshots show time after time that they are incompetent. THey should have let the river flow anyhow, it is political suicide to protect yellow <snip> areas and flood the poor.

THey should have let the river flow anyhow, it is political suicide to protect yellow <snip> areas and flood the poor. The BMA is speaking sense and is being mostly logical and doing the best they can; the FROC government run centre is the one giving out totally contradictory advice and failing to manage the locals, with sabotage and negotation about water management now a new thing in Thailand (as opposed to actually running things properly with a clear plan)! No idea why you think there are some 'yellow shirts' areas being protected; it is quite clear you are trying to make this into some sort of prai vs. amartaya debate...it isn't. Water is coming in, BMA attempts to evacuate and manage, FROC runs around like a headless chicken. The uneducated simpletons failing to do a decent job...mostly/almost all on the FROC side. Remember 1000 motor boats; Bangkok safe; Bangkok will be flooded for a month; raising the flood gates up to 1.5m at Klong Sam Wa; rebranding donations; turning down donations of clothes; failing to hand out donations; attempted muzzling media control of NGOs; promising then failing to protect estates north of Bangkok; failing to provide basic information to citizens of Thailand? FROC/Government's filthy and mostly dry hands all over that incompetence. Edited November 4, 2011 by soundman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 It's kind of stupid for the Thai government to keep calling these things "evacuation" orders... Where exactly are people living in those areas supposed to go? There's no way on earth to "evacuate" Bangkok. Last I read, there were something like 12,000 people in various government shelters... compared to a massively larger number whose homes have been and are flooded out. Some people have options, like going to a hotel or to stay with relatives upcountry hopefully in some non-flooded area.. But a lot of ordinary Thais have nowhere to go except to stay in their flooded homes, hopefully with an upstairs level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people in charge couldn't control the flow of a bathtub, much less this inundation that was caused by the people in charge after Chang Mai flooded and they did nothing except put their own people in power in one way or another. The people in power have drivers, and the power to keep their hands and homes dry. And if it gets to bad Yingluck will just make another tv appearance and cry.

1245 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) where is this flood heading to ?the problem in this flood thin is that the governments are confused,the flood should be control by expert,everybody is blocking the flood thats why it goes no where,they need to channel the flood to nearby canals,create a solid blockage,not to use the money that people donate to buy just food and block they own property,something is going on here which alot of people dont know,declare state emergency let the army come out with strenght and help the expert,not just asking people to go on hight ground,flood should flow through the canals to another river,alot of canals here in those affected areas are just empty than house and road, Edited November 4, 2011 by webfact font reduced to default /Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think deep down, I bet the govt is whispering to themselves "Move up, and don't move out". just imagine the mass exodus. Almost half of Bangkok is flood already. Most people still stay at home.

A little humour is definitely called for. BTW, are green mambas water snakes? And I think crocodile nets only come in the "heavy duty" variety. "Chest-High wading boots" reminds me of a bloke whose cellar was flooded and the water was higher than his gum boots. "I had to send the missus down", he said. "Why?". "Well she's shorter than me so the boots come up higher on her". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will become pirates in the interim. Shiver me timbers, I saw the PM and she had avast behind. With the floods, my crew went to Or Tor Gor for some looting and pillaging and met some likely lads. After I saw my flag flying at full mast, I did some boarding from the rear, and I suppose that is why they call it but piracy. Yes, it seems highly likely.

FROC/Government's filthy and mostly dry hands all over that incompetence. The last paragraph in my opinion totally sums up Thai government officials. Thai politicians are not elected for the people, they are elected for their own benefit. I mean if I spent 300 million baht for a minstry position I would expect some return right? For anyone to think that a government official is there to help is crazy, they love disasters as it is the perfect way to steal money with very little checks or authorisation. They have been given a blank chequebook to spend. How can anyone expect a PM to lead a nation when they have no experience. This is no different actually to what happens in most western countries now days as capitalism and materialism become the sole drivers of economic prosperity.

newermonkey Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Including the weekend market or not? I am suppose to pick up some items this weekend there. I would guess so because the market is in a low lying area and as far as I remember there is a klong near the main road that is higher than the market! if that overflows then the market will be submerged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
