Nava Nakorn Plc managing director Nipit Arunvongse na Ayudhya announced that floodwater was flowing into the industrial estate in Pathum Thani's Khlong Luang district through an opening between five and eight metres wide in a north dyke.

"I feel so sorry that water has entered Nava Nakorn because we've been trying to prevent the industrial estate from flooding for quite a while," said Ms Yingluck.

Any sign of this govt incompetence.

D1: with all due respect- how did the japanese built these estates and factories? On the base of promises by a thai- fotuneteller? They should have their own experts and these experts should look for the "worst case scenario"! Well, obviously is wasn't "worst" enough, so actually IMHO the Japanese are as guilty as are the Thai- government(s)!

The professionalism, class, and dignity of the Japanese is shown in the comments from Khun Otaka. I am sure that in reality they are indeed upset with the Thai gov't for the lack of preparation, but they choose instead to express sadness for the effect on Thai workers and families. The concern is that in reality the rainfall was far from the worst we have had - and this is not global warming. This is a man-made disaster - that may have Japan looking elsewhere when it comes time to rebuild without some type of plan to prevent this from happening again. The tsunami and earthqauke in Japan was not preventable - this disasater (certainly the scale of it) need not have been so widespread.....
