The Nation

BANGKOK: -- Many more provinces have been inundated as rain continues thanks to a low-pressure cell, the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department said yesterday.

Train services between Ubon Ratchathani and Si Sa Ket's Kanthararom district were suspended yesterday after the track was flooded.

On Friday, the department announced that Surin, Kalasin, Si Sa Ket, Ubon Ratchathani, Phitsanulok, Ayutthaya and Angthong were under water.

As of press time yesterday, floods were also ravaging Buri Ram, Prachin Buri, Ranong, Chachoengsao, Nakhon Ratchasima, Sa Kaew and Pathum Thani.

Yes some provinces are under water with more to come but there is no problem and there will not be and that's official, YL says so.

PM urges public not to worry about flood situation.

This is what I was reading yesterday, is she changing her mind ???

[dcutman]

The other paper is reporting, several dams have begun releasing large volumes of water upstream, the domino effect has begun. Looks like Ayutthaya is gonna be sacrificed again.

YS is now working on her, "its only your imagination, you're not up to your neck in water" speech.

I wonder which country she will be in when she makes it ?

Its pretty same to assume, it wont be this one. But she will be able to promote Thailands vast areas of floating markets to the "high end" tourism market.

I'm glad the department told us it's flooding in Surin... we wouldn't have known otherwise... keep up the good work... gurgle gurgle gurgle....

Bangkok will not be affected as, after the 2011 floods, the BMA already dredged all the canals through the city so they wouldnt clog up next time...

What mind?

[RichardtenBrinke]

What YL said 2 days ago????? No Worry. Everything under control. We putt boat in the river to get rid of the water with the propellors running. Think they are on the wron spot.............. Words but no results.

[MaxLee]

When does this water all come down towards Northern Bangkok area,...

One of my professor's hoe in Pakrred is already flooded, as I see on his Facebook page...

[hansnl]

Promises, promises, promises....

One of the current miisters promised there would be no flooding this year.

Ah well, this government is very good in breaking promises.

"Promise much, idiots live in peace"

[LivinLOS]

Any information on highways..

I need to do CNX to BKK tomorrow.. Assuming the 1 and 32 are clear..

No need to be concerned. It's a official according to Thai sources.

As far as I can tell, it has been raining very heavily in lots of provinces to the north and northeast of Thailand with many provinces being flooded. Since Thailand is a sloped country, this means that all of this water is going to flow downhill to Bangkok, doesn't it?

Can anyone confirm or refute my above statement? Additionally, does anyone know approximately when we can expect the runoff to hit Bangkok?

I hope the rest of his hoes are ok

Wasn't it the Prime Minister who said do not worry about floods? What map was she looking at? Map of china or map of Thailand

[noitom]

They're reporting that they're under water. Can you imagine what the reality is for those Thais ignored by the Bangkok elite?

[Bagwan]

Why the surprise? Even a Thai fortune teller could have forecast this latest debacle - provided he wasn't a brain washed redshirt.

[OMGImInPattaya]

No mention of chonburi or Pattaya...that's a good reason to live there.

[thaidel48]

Only just started raining here in Khon Kaen. been the driest rainy season I can remember... mind you been raining everywhere else up this way.

Do you know if it is a regular thing for him to get flooded.... or a one in 50 year thing ? I mean all around there are always places that always flood. Here in Bangbuathong there are spots that flood every year.

[AhFarangJa]

How about moving Songkran to September....

[ANTON137]

Hi may I first thank Thai visa.com for allowing me to join

Ah ha.... So the prime minister y luck was addressing you guys! Makes sense khon Kane looking Bangkok thinking!

For information, I flew down to Bkk on the morning flight from Phitsanulok and arrived in Ban Chang at just before midday. Phits dry (there was a light rain all night but dried off), Bkk dry and sunny and Ban Chang the same. Didn't get any rain on the trip from Bkk to Ban Chang.

That said, it did look like a wet Thailand from the air, a lot of water about on the flight down.

Mind, what mind, I don't need no stinking mind to point at a map, go to Pakistan for talks and go to the EU to go shopping. Big Brother in Montenegro gave me a list. Do I need a mind for that?
