Not Telling
It would be hard to imagine a string of responses so full of impotent whining as this one. I suppose that this kind of talk went on during the battle of Britain half century ago but history has kindly erased it. Get off your asses gentlemen and start thinking creatively, and recognize that your particular stakes in Thailand may not and probably should not matter.

My best estimate as of mid day monday oct 24 for worst case flooding in next week, dark blue= 3 ft, lt blue=foot or two, yellow= few inches, green= mai pen rai. Based on new BKK topography and Google earth combination.

This is a great map Swelters, just the sort of thing that the government should be producing.
I went ahead and signed up for twitter, but the image there is just a low resolution as it is here. Could you post a higher resolution image on flickr or photobucket? The first time I looked at it I just about had to change my pants, but on closer inspection I'm pretty sure that I'm in a light blue zone, not a dark blue zone. I've sealed up one door, sandbagged the other, disconnected the only power socket that was lower than waist high & moved the car, so I am prepared for 1 - 2 feet of water, but if I'm in the 3'+ zone, I'll change my strategies entirely (ie. pack up the car & get the hell out of Dodge!
).Thanks, will work on it this morning.

This is really a great map...go to Google map and turn on terrain function (Google earth plug-in may be required)...check Google map against swelters map and you know what the color means on Google map. A Casio pro-trek watch will tell it too.

Yes I was told as well that they are going to use Vibhavadi-Rangsit road to channel the water.
This will be another disaster move as the small canals alongside it (next to where I live) are already filled up for 70% and it will result in an overflow and massive sideways flooding.
My sandbags are ready but do not think it will be enough to stop the water.

Glad you found it useful. Will work on this in the morning.. If you are along Sukhumvit the area I estimate as possibly one meter is out beyond Bang Chak BTS. My Thonglor/Ekamai area maybe a foot, less as you go west of Samitevej Hospital.
