Okay, lets try this a second time. By the 21st of October Future Park and the klongs heading to Nakorn Naiyoke were going under but we were fine. We had been out and bought kilo of pork loin, fillet steaks, pasta, salmon, and all sorts of snacks as we figured we would have some water for a week or so and might have trouble getting out.

The sala
The morning of the 24th we heard the water was coming from the north, this is the intersection of the main road to our house.
The first sign of water in the muban on the 25th, by 2pm the water and power trucks were there to cut the power as the water had gone up another 10 centimeters.
An hour or two later.
It was at this time I called Loy Toy and asked if he could get us somewhere to stay, by us I mean my wife, kids, maid, persian cat and stupid poodle. Off we went and arrived 9 hours later.
On the 31st we came back by military truck and long tail to see how bad it was. This is what we saw.
the same intersection where the water started.
another shot just up the road.

You should see the klong behind my house, a dual lane road with a meridian of flowers in it, then another klong and another road. Nope just a lake.
One of the kitchens,
Notice how clean the water is, now the main kitchen, the blank space is where the stove and oven were, we got it out.
My old car,
The interior which is now been cleaned by me and today dropped off at a place that will take it apart and dissinfect it.
More to come on the journey back and the cleanup. Just today I had to cut down my biggest shade tree as it had died. An 8 year old avacado I had grown form seed. Now its back to work outside.
We left BKK with just 15 minutes to pack and get out as I said the water was rising so fast, and the power and water trucks were here in the muban to cut them off.
