Pracha: Bangkok won’t be flooded

• Online news:

Bangkok will not be affected by the widespread flooding, Deputy Prime Minister and director of the Flood Relief Operation Centre Pracha Promnok said at a press conference on Friday.

The government’s flood war room has given the highest priority to the protection of inner areas of the capital. It is working hard to drive the overflow out to the sea through the Chao Phraya River, cannels in the western and eastern parts of Bangkok, Pol Gen Pracha said.

“The runoff from the North is now under control and Bangkok will not be inundated”, the justice minister reaffirmed.

Chalit Damrongsak, director general of the Royal Irrigation Department, took the same tone.

He insisted that Bangkok will not be severely flooded because the amount of water running down from the North into the Chao Phraya River in Nakhon Sawan and Chainat was lesser than earlier projected.

The flow was only 3,600 cubic metres per second, lower than earlier expected at 3,800 cubic metres. Moreover, several dams have now released lesser amount of water than before, he added.

“The level of the flow in Chao Phraya which will arrive in Bangkok on October 15-16 would not be higher than 2.3 to 2.4 metres. But the floodwalls in Bangkok is 2.5 metres high, therefore, Bangkok is safe”, said Mr Chalit.

Floods Disrupt Traffic on Paholyothin Road

UPDATE : 19 October 2011

Flooding on the outbound lanes of Paholyothin Road has caused traffic congestion.

Traffic has been heavily congested on the outbound lanes of Paholyothin Road after it has been inundated by 50-centimeter-deep floodwater.


The overflow from Rangsit Canal and a runoff from Klong Luang District has inundated the outbound lanes of Paholyothin Road, heading North, from the area in front of the Future Park Rangsit Mall, causing heavy traffic congestion.

The shopping mall itself is closed today.

The road is now under 30 to 50 centimeters of floodwater, rendering passage by small vehicles impossible.

Massive traffic jams were also witnessed on Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok Road with a large number of public buses en route to Klong 1 Bridge to help with the evacuation of residents.

Floodwater from the Navanakhon Industrial Estate has inundated a 500-meter stretch of Rangsit-Pathum Thani Road in front of Rangsit Market in Thanyaburi District.

In the meantime, floods continued to wreak havoc in Pathum Thani's Muang District, submerging many housing estates.

They include Chuan Chuen Flora Ville in Bang Kurad Subdistrict and Supmuensaen Village and Panason Village in Ban Chang Subdistrict.

In Ayutthaya, Governor Wittaya Phewphong said the flood situation in the province has begun to stabilize, but natural water sources have been polluted by the unsightly accumulation of garbage.

The province has drawn up a waste management plan.

A budget of 50 million baht is expected to solve the pollution problem during and after the floods.

this Plodprasong fucker is the worst of the worst. How much money did he give to the Toxin movement to get his position? What science background does he have, biology in Mor 2?

I just ran Plodprasong through google translate, it might not be right as often is the case but I got

where did you put yours ? they are planning to "seal" my mooban for the week-end

Spoke to the wife we live near Rama IV,right down the end of Suk Soi 16 all okay there at the moment.
She just said government lie too much.

The floodwall they are building in Sai Noi in one day is supposed to save Bangkok?

Rots a Ruck with that!

To save Bangkok they should have done a lot of things a long time ago. I guess what happened in 1942 was fun and filling in all of the canals since was a good idea.

Modernisation and industrial parks are all the rage, you know.
The paving over of the land comes back to haunt.

Right on. I may be old fashioned but I think the land was made to plant not pave.
