I have been receiving numerous telephone calls from friends saying that their present dry condition is now under serious threat.

One friend confirmed that Fashion Island Mall is now under water with the levels rising fast.

I was yesterday at Theperak Rd in Samut Prakarn and the main klong was about 0.5 metre down compared to it's normal level but alarmingly the water was not flowing. First time in 15 years I have seen this Klong like that.

It seems someone has put a plug somewhere and that plug is about to pop out soon but everyone in the area appears to be well prepared.
