Not as bad as in 2011, but we did have a lot of rain this week. I'm in the Dusit area which dries up quiet quickly once the rains stop with only minor flooding ( a few centimeters here and there at the most). Other areas in and around Bangkok are less lucky. "Widespread floods in Bangkok after heavy rain Bangkok people woke up to a waterworld on Saturday after at least 55 major roads were submerged following downpours in the early hours. Two remained flooded as of 3.45pm. The water ranged from 30cm to...

No problem, I know just the right man to handle such situation, as he did in 2011  "BANGKOK: -- On October 11, a fleet of some 1,000 boats would help push water from the Chao Phraya River into the sea fast, Science and Technology Minister Plodprasop Suraswadi said Saturday. At the boat project launch held at Nonthaburi's Pakkred Pier with 40 boats attending, Plodprasop said that this voluntarybase project would help drain water three times faster, from two knots to six knots, and prevent floodwater from pouring into Bangkok City. He said the 1,000boat fleet would push water down to the sea on October 11, as to help lower flood in the Chao Phraya Riverside provinces such as Sing Buri, Angthong and Ayutthaya." www.physicsforums.com/threads/pushing-the-river-with-boats.541392/ |

And of course, now that we have a shiny new aircraft carrier which is in itself a really big boat, the water moving possibilities are endless. See, you guys were all laughing and saying they were crazy but they've got this one nailed I reckon, the real reason for buying that carrier is now perfectly clear. |
