What I would like to see if some of these pumps being donated by other kind countries being put into action now, not wait till they are needed for the industrial estate.

I am in one of those villages that is flood in Khlong Si, Lam Luk Ka and yes to limit the scope of the floods would be better than to spread it evenly.

I would also like to see more of those 50,000 troops being assigned to Nakon Sahwon and Ayuttaya where the waters are starting to recede to help in the clean up of those LONG term affected areas to help rebuild their shattered communities and start to work out what the LONG term plan should be for the whole of the country, that may mean some of those rich people we are talking about have their lands taken from them to make way for proper irrigation areas but will most likely be another way to land grab the poor rice farmers land for the New Market price which will leave them out of pocket.

With the all the Army's heavy equipment let us put them to overseeing work to build better flood devices just as they did in New Orleans after hurricanes there.

Let's us hope he meets some real men in prison who knows how to deal with perverts!!!!

Just in case we forget how some business men treat us mere mortals, The Thai Hotel Association are going to raise their prices since they can, they talk about Thailand being good value for money but then go onto say we can still manage to squeeze to increased prices, out of the those people in the Asean community who are supporting them just now like the Japanese who have sent alot of provisions but are still siting in a warehouse.

I too am a property owner and I could have exploited my property and raised the rental price of it since it was empty, but thought for the better business practice I went for the long term tenant and not the short term gain.

That in turn reaped rewards since we a family with pets who is also flooded I was able to get a property rented in Pattaya for a short term let, with no deposit reasonable rates helped by the agent (friend) of our rental property, which I am sure if we went for the short term they would not have helped in such a nice way.

Can you clarify for me are you saying the the person is going to pay the monthly 3 month or are they going to pay 3 months for 1 months.

If it is the former then that is understandable if it is the latter you have fairly got all the criticism in the previous posts.

You are highlighting an issue that many people on here don't seem to get. They simply do not understand what is going on in terms of the supply chain. We are short of rice down here, and earlier I mentioned going to Malaysia to get it, well it turns out one of the local shop keepers did just that. He drove for 4 hours there (5 hours back), filled a truck with 45Kg bags of rice, paid import duty on it at the border then has brought it all back. the result is a 45kg bag of rice normally costing about 1400 baht is now selling for 2000 baht. Is he making a killing on it...absolutely not. His costs are covered and he is making 10% more for his troubles and time taken. A very fair business orientated deal. Those that needed it were grateful to him for his travels and understood the difference in price.

I would have thought the Thai Border Guards would cancel the import duty in this time of need!!!
