farmerjo Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hopefully the governors of the effected provinces stand up and do the best they can. Solution= move to higher ground,i would suggest most complaints come from people who have bought into these flood prone areas. Thais will carry on as its a normal event.

Netizen Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'll just phone my friend in Surin, who's house is flooded out, that YS says don't worry. Sure she and her husband will feel fine knowing that. Sent from my GT-I9003 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app The monks at the temple next door are camping on the roof!!! Are they high?

mikemac Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Is there a map anywhere that we can follow the flooding Look out your window. The Puppet said not to worry your pretty little head about those naughty flood waters, but I am worried, very worried, because she said not to worry. I think she said not to worry about flooding in Chiang Mai last time I had to park my car at the wat in Loi Kroh and wade through floodwaters to get to my condo.

WAERTH Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Meanwhile in breaking news:http://www.mcot.net/...92#.Uj1RQj9qN2AFive metres of railway track in Ubon Ratchathani cut due to flood; Community along Pa Sak river bank in Ayutthaya braces for river overflowNo need to get worried right? Where does the E-ngo get the nerves to tell people not to be worried. Only 7 provinces flooded. Mai pen rai no ploblem don't worry. Eat your som tam kai yang and dance the morlom and be happy.

khunken Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Ms Yingluck next time you go shopping look for a new FROC (try Holland) as the current lot are the same as the idiots who failed the last time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai at Heart Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I live in Chaiyaphum Province, mid-Isaan & it's been raining pretty well continuously for 10 days now with no signs of stopping, If this doesn't ease soon I predict that Bangkok will have worse... flooding than 2011 so look out all you city-ites it's coming... Problem is, you can't tend to be less flooded to waist deep. It's an all or nothing thing. Improving the length of the flood from 2 months to one month doesn't have any difference in reality. So yes, get ready because will anyone be happy if they get flooded the same as last time but for 50% less time or 50% less depth? Not really, the mess is the same..

Timwin Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Don't you worry guys. His son's football field was saved from the flood by her loyal servants. For a minute they thought the raining will ruin the grass but luckily, they covered and sandbagged the field just in time. So it is all good!

Benmart Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 History is full of examples of leaders telling the masses not to worry about one thing or another. Sometimes the worry is unfounded, but a small consolation when things go the other way. Individual planning is an alternative to relying on the government to take care of things.

timewilltell Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 In a perverse way another bout of flooding might be just what's needed to wake your average Thai up to the fact that Yingluck and her corrupt party are terrible for the country and could not care less about the poor person. Then maybe a slightly better government might be formed although with the democrats even to better this lot might not be a certainty. Time for a new political force.

farmerjo Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Its not about politcal parties as many here believe. Topography might have something to do with it. To me it sounds like alot of queenslanders spending their life time savings on a house on a river with a dinghy and insurance policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Don't worry because there is nothing you can do about it. However you should prepare for the flood which now appears inevitable as it is confirmed by her statement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambco984 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Teeth the folks of north east Ubon Ratchathani. As I drove to Ubon today, both sides of the road Has been flooded and only roofs could be seen. Don't worry, NO flooding.

Roadman Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Didn't she say the same a couple of years ago when Bangkok was metres under water while passing overhead in a luxury chopper? As an aside, she doesn't look so 'hot' side-on. Regards your aside I was thinking that as well. Perhaps it is the stress showing that she can safely hide their political incompetence and corruption from the Red Khwai block vote, but floods and the promised controls of them present the hard evidence to the public that won't heel to her stupidity?

My thoughts are that when a politician is handed technical data (i.e. a map) to paw over in a press environment it is to "inspire confidence". They really wouldn't be arranging this situation if there was nothing to worry about. Sadly for this particular politician she has already had her trial by water and it didn't go too well.
