Thailand floods mapped
The editors of Thailandblog receive many questions about the floods in Thailand. Unfortunately we cannot respond to every individual question, that takes too much time. Please understand this.
There appears to be a need for maps showing the flooded areas. These are of course available, some in Thai and others in English. I've just listed them.
The editors cannot guarantee that the information correct and current.
The following flood maps are available:
– Thailand Flood Monitoring System: http://flood.gistda.or.th/
– Thailand Flood Map: http://www.thaiflood.com/en/
– Thailand tourism update http://www.thailandtourismupdate.com/map.html
– Water Measurement System http://dds.bangkok.go.th/Canal/ (provides insight into the water level of the canals and rivers in Bangkok).
– Map of flooded roads: http://maintenance.doh.go.th/test.html (A red car means the road is flooded and impassable. A green car means the road is flooded, but still passable. The blue line refers to the detours).

I understand that there is a great need for updates on the floods and that is only to be commended that you provide this so accurately, but the amount of topics on this subject does not make it very clear.
When I click on the Home button I get 19 blogs on the first overview page, 14 of which are devoted to the floods, there is no other way, that you post an update under an existing blog, for me it is also about the reactions that I find interesting to read but I like to read together. 😉
