ourmanflint Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 For a country inundated annually, they don't seem to take drainage seriously at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually in the capitol Bangkok they will take flooding/drainage seriously as it affects Thailands business and image let alone tourism. However the rest of Thailand can suffer as the budget has been ear-marked for more important things like toys for the navy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
