There are fully funded and top-level weather monitoring and projection services that cover ALL of Thailand and the region, that are as simple as $99 a year to be subscribed to and would give accurate as possible up to date and long term forecasting. 2-3 of these services would be more than enough with the existing systems to give accurate reports.

Of course that leaves nothing concrete  to be the boss of,
or more importantly not enough purchasing budget to skim enough to become a real player.
So WE NEED TO BUY NOW!!!!
Where's our slice of the P.T.Pie !!!


You also can EASILY imagine that the guys at Pantip could build
an over-clocked, distributed processing, super computer network,
for under US$25,000 Let alone hand the brief to a Uni to build one.

Again not enough room for a good skim-off.

Yeap plenty of these around....strangely enough the offshore boys use weather services out of Australia for their forecasts in the gulf of Thailand... ....pretty sure if the goverment offered the company concerned 1/10 of the budget proposed sure they would provide forecasts to the Thai goverment...LOL

He's just telling the truth of it.. the system is way outdated.

also he's covering his back for when we get flood 2012.. he can just say ..sorry. but i told them we could not foresee this because the equipment is old.

The truth is dealing with seasonal floods using majors flood control dams you don't need any forecasting system. To date there is nothing better than using the dedicated rule curve for each dam.  In my country we have done this over the last 25 years. We have improved the rule curves tremendously over the last 8 years.

Thailand also has used the rule curves approach over the last 20 years that I can recall. But I think there are corrections need to be done here and there. We have gone through the same learning curve over the last 25 years.

No, he can't cover his back using that argument
