the worst in half a century

before the onset of the flooding in Bangkok, people desperately parked their cars on elevated highways and expressways

Mr.Varachai's Power Now office wasn't spared from the flood

Fix&Wash and A-dress offices were also inundated.based on the watermarks on the walls you can see how high the floodwater was

the way back home

this area was once surrounded with luscious bushes and trees

the government provided military trucks to transport people to and fro

the very busy streets were transformed into a vast lake of floodwater

Ladawan Village

looks like venetian canal

people who preferred to stay in their houses had to take the boat going in and out of the village

this dalmatian seemed comfortable to be surrounded by water

the family's fourth house

finally were home after roughly a month

thank God the floodwater didn't reach the house..the photo looks nice but the smell of the murky water was awful.

four abodes in two months

during the monsoon season-as early as July, Thailand was hit by the worst flooding in half a century. undeniable the worst in terms of the total damage to people's lives and properties.northern provinces first experienced the deluge and in late October areas around our village were already inundated.our house is actually located west of Bangkok.and so on October 26, we decided to find refuge in their family's condo in Hua Hin (south of Thailand)

Grand Cha-am Condotel

people flocked along the beach shore in the afternoon

with Pa Taew

Ply and I challenged ourselves to take the stairs up to the 34th floor and this was the consolation

the library

Holiday Inn Hotel (shared room with Prouder)

we spent most of our time watching Star World

softest pillow...zzzzzzzzzz

at hotel lobby waiting for the van to take us back to Hua Hin

after a day in Hua Hin, we were summoned back to Bangkok.they feared that the only route going to the city would be inundated,too.we stayed at Arnoma Hotel just across CentralWorld

chow time!Ply's on risotto.Proud's on steak and mine's penne pasta

our last abode--The Prime 11 Condo @ Sukhumvit Rd where we spent roughly a month

good morning Bangkok :)

Bangkok is more beautiful at night

Hua Hin is now a very remarkable place for me...when i think of the endless sea, i remember that someone out there is meant for me!<3 babe

found this video very informative and creative in educating the residents of Thailand especially the expats on the flooding situation.
