Prayuth Chan-ocha put them on blast, saying they had ample warning the storm was coming.Prayuth subsequently took the unusual step of ordering Bangkok Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra to take action to protect the capital from flooding.Full story: http://bangkok.coconuts.co/2015/03/26/city-hall-blast-ignoring-warnings-tuesdays-flood-- Coconuts Bangkok 2015-03-26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siampolee Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 You all might do well to recall that it was a P.T.P complaint that led to the 5 month suspension of the Bangkok governor from March 2014 to September 2014. A 6 month month ban when he was unable to carry out hid duties, see the quote below and also the link He said the governor is worried about the build-up of work that must have accumulated during the five months that he was suspended from performing his duties. The governor will get back to work immediately, starting by inspecting Department of Drainage's preparations to handle flooding, Mr Wasant said. th4.ilovetranslation.com/l6h_rMwv5-S=d/ BANGKOK: The Court of Appeals in Thailand on Friday (Sep 5) ended Sukhumbhand Paribatra’s suspension. He will resume his role as the governor of Bangkok. Sukhumbhand was suspended in March this year by Thailand’s Election Commission following accusations of misconduct during the election campaign for the governor of Bangkok. He was alleged to have slandered other candidates in the lead-up to the election in Mar 3, 2013. In March this year, the Thai Election Commission “yellow-carded” Sukhumbhand, which means his governorship was suspended but he was allowed to run in elections. https://socialdashboard.com/news/suspended-bangkok-governor-sukhumbhand-to-resume-role#sthash.qk7o20bZ.dpuf http://th4.ilovetranslation.com/l6h_rMwv5-S=d/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootybitz Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Really rich ...ironic from a government who so badly mismanaged the floods of 2011 that the water was lapping at the doors of central Bangkok for months.... then some 360million thb [ i could be wrong more or less was spent ] and this seems to have been a failure ...

Popular Post seajae Posted March 26, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2015 what a joke , what happened to the billions spent by the ptp on flooding, oh thats right, they were going to use boat propellers to turn the water back, still dont know where the money went as they hid it very well. Admittedly Bangkok admin needs a rev for not clearing this earlier but so do all the Bangkok people tossing all their sh*t in the drains etc because they are too lazy to bin it but the ptp trying to claim the high ground, comeon, what sort of idiots are they, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder26 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) It is just my opinion. Even with clean drains I don't think it can solve the problem taking into consideration the local infrastructure when it comes to torrential rains (100 mm in 30 min). I don't think anywhere in the world they can cope with such amount of water. Flash floods are prone to happen. Whatever they do, it doesn't matter. If it rains again in such amounts it will flood again. It doesn't matter who is in power: Prayut, Yingluck or Abhisit!

If and when you've lived here long enough you see EXACTLY the same places flooding year after year after year! And sometimes it's ONLY annual cleaning and clearing that's required! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly never met Fanny Hill however I have met one of her descendants who I think may have Latin connections Miss Mons Venus. Delightfully well rounded creation who has over the years given me much pleasure each time I have met or seen her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair comment. It's a bigger laugh that a pheu thai spokesperson should criticize flood handling. Most of their focus when the 'yingluck floods' hit were associated with how many items they could add stickers to indicating 'with love from thaksin' when in reality most of the flood relief packages etc., were paid for out of taxpayers funds / the common wealth of all Thais.
