Why just for Christmas? If you're not Christian, you should be willing to volunteer any day, if you are a Christian, you should be willing to volunteer every day.

Boxing Day, Chiang Mai Toy Ride. To Mae Mer Orphanage. Bring a toy, some tinned food and some seeds. Make a few kids smile.

Hi
Thanks for the link its much appreciated.
Why only Christmas? Because after the floods I'm working around the clock to keep my business going and it is the only time that I can afford to designate to any worthy cause. I don't see that being Christian/Muslim or Buddhist or not has anything to do with when to volunteer. I'm sure the kids don't mind.
Regards and Merry Christmas!

Maybe there should be a guy with a red flag walking in front of every train?

Thats nice, lets kill all the guys with red flags!

Surely the train driver had an element of training before jumping into the cab. Did the car drivers?
Enforce proper driving tests/standards and heavily fine or imprison those that flaunt the law.
1. This should be a no-brainer money making scheme for the government (if they knew how to teach such things)and especially the BIB if enforced correctly.
2. Maybe just maybe it would also reduce some fatal hazards, accidents and fatalities nationwide.

I hope all involved recover well and quickly.

While I may not agree with the actions of these people in forcing open flood gates and tearing down barriers to try and get some relief from the flooding in their area, I can fully understand their anger and frustration.

These people are tired of the property, their houses and their lives being destroyed just save precious Bangkok year after year.  How would you feel if your moo ban was flooded year in and year out just to so the one next to you could be saved? If you can imagine that, then you can understand these people and their actions.

While Yingluck & Company can be, and should be, blamed for the mismanagement of this situation, they can't be blamed for the flood itself.  And no one can convince me that any other government could/would do a better job.

For to many years the rich and powerful, which means about .05% of the population, have been allowed to destroy what is, supposedly, protected forest areas to build their mansions and resorts, thereby destroying the ecological balance that Mother Nature provided.  For too many years these same people have built, or have allowed to be built, factories, housing and condo projects, and other structures in low lying areas that block the natural flow of water, with zero forethought of what might happen. For too many years the experts, both Thai and foreign, have done studies, made recommendations, and issued serious warnings about what could/would happen, but since there was no "graft" or "corruption" money in it for anyone, they were ignored.

If anyone is to blame for this situation it is EVERY member of EVERY government for the past 50+ years since the last flood for not doing what was necessary to prevent it from happening again.

The one good thing from this is now maybe, just maybe, they will listen to the experts and finally do what needs to be done for ALL of Thailand, and not just Bangkok. We can only hope.

Absolutely!!! I've never bothered replying to all the threads that seem to just bash one person or another. The response I read above, I am in total agreement with. Well said "just1voice" All the halfwits that have run this country for the last 50 years and more(since the Chinese started major development in the 1960's) need to listen to actual, proper and qualified experts. These experts from mainly Europe/Holland have dealt with flooding for 100's of years now.
For the love of this country that I have lived in and become a part of for the last 6 years, I sincerely hope that the ultimate decision makers can now move forward and do what is right.
My love, thoughts and condolences go out to all those people affected by the floodings.
