Popular Post watcharacters Posted June 13, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2013 . Cool photo. Questionable reporting if it is accurately represented. The body of the article/post is about heavy rain and flooding. The text ends with: "The body of villager Pravit Udom, 58, was recovered after he reportedly went fishing.

me313 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Bangkok is reported as one of the cities doomed to being submerged in water, sunk in other words, due to global warming or whatever the cause is for Bangkok's ever-increasing submersion by centimeters annually. Thus, the "government" is not responsible for this, although perhaps every "government" is for not reducing global warming quickly enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohy Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yup! Pouring here in Langsuan for 2 days continuously now, however I can report as of yet no dead bodies with gunshot wounds have been recovered, probably because no one with any sense would want to venture out with or without a gun. It seems our 6 months of rain has started with a vengeance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just normal Nation reporting. Take a murder and instead of reporting it by itself tye it into unreliable weather forecasting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wavefloater Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 It would have been nice if they included the list of provinces. I see Rayong was mentioned, so I'm going to assume Chonburi is on the list (that maybe exists somewhere?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gun he was using to fish with accidently went off during the flooding.

Talking of stories of luck and in a closely related story: Did you hear about that Mountie in the Rocky Mountains in Canada. He worked on an observation post high above the forest canopy and apparently he was described as being the luckiest man alive as he had been struck by lightening 6 times and survived...........that is, until he was struck for the 7nth time in a rowing boat and they found his smouldering body after if drifted to the edge of the lake!!! His record went just as he went!!!!. Don't believe me? then check it out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimamey Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) I don't think you can expect any government to eliminate all flooding considering the weather patterns here. What's more relevant is how much flooding still occurs, how much help is given and does the cost appear to match the measures taken to achieve this?

wilgoster Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I'm glad the writer listed the 39 provinces - that'll keep me reading articles like this. ... they weren't listed? (musta been washed away already, like major parts of this piece.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iancnx Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Those asking for a list of provinces. The Thai Met Office website can be a little quirky at times, but mostly good warning info based on satellite data. http://www.tmd.go.th/en/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
