While PT deserve ridicule for claiming they can stop floods and deserve to be investigated for their corruption, no government can ever stop all floods in Thailand. The best that can ever be done is to protect some areas against some level of exceptional rainfall.

..Fourteen provinces are still being hit by floods, affecting more than 160,000 people, the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department reported on Saturday.

The DPMdepartment is busy counting which provinces being hit by flood.
My suggestion, please be very busy in helping out those flooded people than counting those flooded area.

There are no floods in Thailand. It is just your imagination brought on by the rains.

Sorry folks the PTP has run out of money to assist. It has not even paid out all the compensation for the victoms of last year's flood. But first things first. PTP has money for its Elite and their families to attend the football games in Eurpoe on the tax payers Baht.

Plus the flooding must be a figment of imagination just like rising prices. Must be the heat.

I would not complain about the water to much as we cannot survive without it. Wait until the hot dry season and we'll be complaining about drouts.
