the biggest flood (in my lifetime) in thailand

i'm feel so sad to see these pictures. (although one of the photographers in this link is my favorite one, master sukree).

i live in downtown of bangkok. some news say bangkok may face the flood or not, depend on the time. i heard over 1k million cubic litres in those province (in the pictures) is waiting for press to the sea but bangkok only release 10 million cubic litres. if this is real, it seems we have to spend 100 days for release those shit. poor the thai people.

for me, i'm ready to face whatever who will come with the flood. i don't think this is much for me. at least it's better than let those suffer only themselves.

it makes me guilty indeed.

well, this may sound ashamed but i think i should inform you guys. if you can, please help those buy donation.

here's the link for thai, http://www.ifund.in.th/report.php?W_ID=21

thanks for all....

that was a really nice gesture, Yu!

i sort of know how you feel there because we just had some of the worst flooding in a long time here, too. it's not as bad as there, but many people had their homes and belongings completely destroyed. i felt lucky to only have gotten some water in my basement.

hopefully your country will recover quickly and everyone will be safe!

thanks, steve, hudsoncomplex and wiggs1441.

it's hard rain on everyday in bangkok now. i'm not sure how about the flooded provinces. but i think the government should share this damage by release water to bangkok and boundary provinces.

and i think i'm ready to face with the flood in bangkok....

the upcoming november 10th is 'loi krathong day'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loy_krathong it sounds ironic which i don't think the bangkokers will enjoy this celebration time as we ever did.

and today is the worst day of inner bangkok, downtown and some part of the northern bangkok. i didn't evacuate at this moment but already prepared for whatever will come.

you can check the pictures of the flood in some parts of bangkok at the below link ;
