    Thanks for good information. with sorrow we look from our dry hideaway in Nongkhai Bueng Kan to all the misery elsewhere. Family in Nonthaburi and Pathum Tani are having a hard time.
    It is strange that local aid organizations on site make the residents contribute to the sandbags on a daily basis.

    I saw in the paper version of the Bangkok Post this morning a satellite image that covered the area from Chiang Rai in the north, beyond Rangoon and west, Phnom Phenn was visible in the east and phuket in the south. So a big lap.
    The flooded areas were colored blue and covered, my carpenter's eye calculated, an area the size of four times the Netherlands, all north of BKK. That water must all be drained into the Gulf and will therefore have to reach BKK and the surrounding areas at some point.
    I don't want to cause panic, but it doesn't look good and I can't imagine with the best will in the world that BKK is 'safe', as Yingluck claims.
