webfact Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Fears of a repeat of the Great Flood of 2011: Downtown Pak Thong Chai inundated last night Picture: Thai Rath Residents of Pak Thong Chai town in Nakhon Ratchasima rushed to save their possessions including cars and motorcycles after a flash flood inundated the downtown area. The local Klong Lam Takut canal that runs by the municipal fresh food market overflowed after water rushed from the Lam Phra Phloeng Dam. Announcements advised people to move their possessions high up and residents moved their vehicles to Route 304, the Pak Thong Chai to Kabinburi Road. Thai Rath said that locals were spooked that the flood would mean a repeat of the misery that they endured during the great flood of late 2011 when huge swathes of the country from the north to the suburbs of Bangkok were under extremely deep water for months.

Yme Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 A good report on the 2011 flood and some video here. Might be a good opportunity for THAI to make some insurance claims and get rid of some aircraft ???? https://photo-journ.com/2011/2011-thailand-flood-could-be-more-destructive-than-asian-financial-crisis/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
