Canal never floods is a common phrase. Friend of mine bought a big chunk of land near Maha Sarakham right on the Chi River which "never floods". He built a huge house and last year the entire area around the house was waist deep in water. Was a Venice like experience.

BTW, a member here built some really nice "cottages" just north of CM. Might get some ideas.

This one is the main house.
