We got back to Chiang Mai safe and sound before the flood moves into inner city. Bangkokians are getting prepared piling sandbags along the front of buildings. Many shops are now closed and supplies in the remaining are running out. We heard from our contacts that bottled water is now very low on supply.
The tide is expected to rise over the weekend. This is a difficult time for folks in the affected areas, and of course the rest of Thailand (considering the loss of jobs, impact on tourism, inadequacy of supplied). I seriously think the situation has been made worse by the contradicting statements issued by the officials. To think that the flood in Chiang Mai was a month ago, it doesn't take much to expected the water up north to flow down to the central provinces.
