A couple more... one from inside his house and again out front loading what can be saved.

Luckly, they have evacuated to our village.

Bluntly, this ###### is bad..bad, bad, bad.

wow, I'm so sorry! I hope the water go down soon so at least the house doesnt have to stand in water for too long.

I'm still heading to Thailand next week.. I'm nt sure how I feel about it :/

Well, it's depends on where you are going.. Pathum Thani is still submerged, and will be for another 4 weeks...at least. Other family located in Bang Sue are still dry but unsure for how long. My In-laws house is very close to the Chao Praya river ( soi 19 ) and my other family member is on soi 11 and has lost everything.

You might want to consider visiting your local physician before departure. I forsee disease to be a problem soon.

The water is filled with #######.. deceased rats, snakes, soi dogs, garbage, benzine and anything else you can think of. some of the escaped chalawan ( crocs ) have been captured and no attacks so far...

Amazing Thailand

Great, thanks. Yep, cheapest I found was the same price, same airline. Actually, I did find one a couple hundred cheaper on Eithad, but it required a 12+ hour layover.

What Thanon are those sois off of? I know it's not Sukhumvit. There would be hell to pay if people couldn't get to Q bar or Bed Bar.

I don't get it. I traveled every week living there and went to a travel agent. When I called them to ask for a deal to go from the US to Thailand, they couldn't help me. Going from Thailand to the US is another story. I think I paid $800 something last time. Granted it was 2007.

My sister has a condo in Dusit area next to the palace - no water there yet. Her house near the new airport also at risk - but at the moment, no water yet. I think I'll be at her house, or go to my parents in Bangsaen, Chonburi. I dont think I'll be seeing any flood. I just really hope to see my friends in BKK but it doesnt look like it's happenning. Also no shopping for cheap accesseries lol. Also planning to be in Phuket to visit my grandparents too.

I'm hoping to flu shot for my son but he is still sick (we are all sick) so I might have to get all the shots in Thailand. Planning on buying several OFF bugsprey since my son's mosquito magnet and will leave the rest for my family. There are bugsprey in Thailand but right now people has been buying those I dont know i'l be able to find it there easy enough.

My thought is that I'm afraid what's going to happen after the water goes down. Everytime I've been in Thailand there's something going on. 3 years ago the redshirt burned BKK the first time I almost didnt get to come back. Last year I got stuck in NYC on the way back for a week from snow storm and this year this major flooding in Thailand. It's just make me uneasy when think of what could be wrong and that I'll get stuck somewhere again.

Flood has become bad in Lat Krabang. My fiance can't get out of his apartment now cause the water is up flooding the first floor. He can't even escape now. What should we do? I don't know how to help him.

RELAX

There will people who will circulate looking for folks. Tell him to sit tight. I'm sure he's not in the apartments alone.

Tell him to make sure the electricty is off ( The govt has turned off all electricity in the flooded areas.

RELAX

May you all have an enjoyable Loi Krathong!

Wishing all a more trouble free year.

May Buddha bless each and every one of you.

( since it is cancelled in Bangkok, my nephews took part in the swimming pool this year )

[Nicoco 26]

Maybe a stupid question, but what time of month does BKK embassy usually schedule the next month and let people know about it by personal email?
