waterworld

The misery in Thailand continues and the flood waters have finally reached Lauchie's doorstep in the Lad Phrao district of Bangkok. Like many Bangkokians, he has fled the scene and has been relocated to a town 1000 kms away from the city. I am grappling with the enormous scope of disaster. There are 13 million people living in Bangkok and all are being effected by this catastrophe. My head shakes when I look at the recent news photos. So many familiar places are underwater. I posted a few flood shots above...just compare them to the images of this street from a couple of years ago.
