Not to minimalize the flooding but as the great Crocodile Dundee once said, "That's not a flood. This is a flood." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Treborz Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Does anyone think the Baht will weaken in the aftermath to encourage foreign investment/increased tourism?

It will be short-lived as well. Still...31 to the dollar wouldn't be all that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system in Central of BKK is better than the outskirt of BKK. kha. water went away so fast, phewwwwwwwwww!! Tonight, the area that we should watch out are Ladproa, Taweewathana, Jatujak, Huaykhwang. So, it will arrive Huaykhwang where my dad and mom are living now.

0 Admin_2 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Assuming that someone in the Thai government decided that this would be ok, how could you approve this yet not let 4 aircraft carriers along with US personnel come and help?

I'd like to know who decided to approve this program, and who says that they will be responsible when something goes wrong. It could well be that not only have those inmates shown 'good behaviour' but are also in prison for relatively low level crimes which in some countries would have been given community disposals. Maybe this could be rolled out in the aftermath of the floods when there will be a lot of repairs needed? Inmates with a short time left on their sentences or who are in for petty crime could have their sentences commuted to 'community service'. ...sponsored by Toxin of course.

0 Admin_2 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Khlong Prapa dyke gets popped !! Ulit Makmaitri, Metropolitan Waterworks Authority assistant governor, told TV news that earlier tonight, ill-intentioned residents covertly destroyed sandbag dyke on Don Mueng side at 17 points about 1 metre breach for each spot. Right now, MWA receives help from Pakkret Municipality and Corrections Department sending personnel and equipment to repair the damaged spots. The work should be finished tomorrow. Mr Ulit begged for unstanding from the local residents that destroying the dyke would worsen tap water quality and quantity as the WMA has to lower production to make sure the water is up to WHO standard. He also calls on the police to patrol the dykes along Khlong Prapa, especially at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What blows me away is that they turn away dudes who are trained for circumstances like this while letting inmates out to stack sandbags. Surely they would not be stupid enough to release high risk prisoners. Most countries use something called LSI-R ( Level of Service Inventory Revised) to assess the risk of people re-offending and how much harm they pose. Unsure if Thailand uses it, but they should have that or something similar. I do hope they have kept the murderers in and released the shoplifters, but knowing Thai bureaucracy...
