webfact Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Meteorological Dept warns of tropical storm Kai-Tak BANGKOK, Aug 17 -- The Meteorological of Thailand on Thursday warned that tropical storm "Kai-Tak" is moving to China's Hainan province and could cause heavy rain in the north and northeastern regions of Thailand. In its first warning issued Thursday, the Meteorological Department said as of 10am that Kai-tak was 550km east of Hainan with sustained winds about 110km per hour and is moving west at a speed of 20km per hour. It is expected that the storm would make landfall over Hainan on Friday and would affect Thailand with heavy rain in the north and northeastern provinces today through Saturday. The southwest monsoon prevailing over the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand will intensify and cause more rain Thursday through Saturday, the department said. Strong winds and high waves are likely in the Andaman Sea and in the Gulf of Thailand. All ships should proceed with caution.

Or are they still negotiating who gets the best monetary share?? I haven't seen the mega flood highway yet.

In all seriousness, the dyke is to protect our capital more than anything. We have a site in Malaysia which has been set up to take over regional production should another flood occur. Still, if it did happen, that would pretty much be the end of all industry in north Bangkok/Aydudhya region. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxLee Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 It's gonna be a disaster if another flood happens, and that means more mass protest against the Yingluck government!!! Imagine if everybody, every shirt color rages against their own government. .… Also, did the government pay last year's flood victims compensation already? Or did they even care? What if a flood happens EVERY year and the victims never get compensated? If those. Ictinus complain, will they be shot dead-silenced??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdpooguava Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yes, aren't we lucky that AV's government made so much progress in flood prevention after the 2010 floods. Also it was good of them to let dam levels reach dangerously high levels just before handing over the reigns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudolus Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Just out of interest, has anyone actually seen with their own eyes any real investment into flood control in Thailand this year? I've hardly heard about any let alone seen any. The SMART Tunnel in KL came under some abuse recently when a river not mitigated by the tunnel burst it's banks and the flooding returned briefly. However, my experience of KL over the last decade is that this tunnel has had a massive impact not just upon flooding but also upon traffic congestion. With Bangkoks roads being a gridlock most of the times, there is a very large case for a similar tunnel system from the north of the capital right until the south with various offshoots delivering motorists into and from the centre as well. However, it will never happen. It would take 8+ years to complete and all of the politcians who would get richer from the bribes are looking for a quicker payday than that. Also, it would be built by firms who only win projects through graft and I for one would not want to be in a tunnel built by that calibre of firm who needs to cut material costs to soak up the bribes they have to pay. Prediction - Flood October / November. Coup February. Elections September. Floods (blamed on the previous government) October and November. Protests and riots. Elections.

Perhaps you should read the link before you post. What is supposed to be the relevant point in the link you posted which might address birdpooguava's statement?
