Floods: Phitsanulok is now facing it
Water from the North is advancing further south. After Sukothai it is now Phitsanulok's turn. In Ayutthaya, residents are anxiously awaiting what will happen.
Water, water and more water
The Chao Praya is about to burst its banks in Ayutthaya province. Six other Central Plains counties are also threatened by rising water. The floods in Si Samrong (Sukothai) are 'the worst in 50 years', writes Bangkok Post.

Floods: Farmers Sukothai see the rice rot before their very eyes
In Sukothai, angry farmers blocked access to the provincial airport yesterday. They demand that the airport pierce the earthen wall around the airport. Their rice fields are under water and the rice harvest is in danger of being lost if the water does not recede quickly. The dike now impedes the drainage of the water.
Floods: Ayutthaya gets it (even more) for its choosing
The tropical storm Wutip and the tropical depression Butterfly will determine the weather in Thailand in the coming days. The residents of Ayutthaya province and the areas downstream have been warned of more flooding. In Bangkok, only the eastern part outside the flood walls is at risk.
Bangkok Post opens today with a large article about the floods. The newspaper pays most attention to the risks for the industrial areas in Ayutthaya and Pathum Thani.
"Can you imagine what kind of life we have?"
Farmers feel let down by the government they helped put in place 2 years ago. The guaranteed price for rice will go down by 3.000 baht. But with the price of 15.000 baht, they could barely make ends meet.
