Namjerno potapaju seljake da spase glavni grad: Skreću im bujice u kuće, voda dolazi do krovova
Bangkok and its industrial zones are protected from floods by embankments and water regulation. This protection comes at a cost to rural residents living along the Chao Phraya river. These villagers face repeated flooding that can last for several months. Some families have had to raise their floors to cope. Others build temporary platforms to save a portion of their living space. Water has reached the roofs of some homes.
Dok se Bangkok i industrijska središta štite od poplava sustavom nasipa i regulacijom vodotoka, stanovnici ruralnih područja uz rijeku Chao Phraya godinama žive s vodom u kućama. Neka su sela poplavljena i po nekoliko mjeseci, a obitelji su prisiljene podizati podove i graditi privremene platforme kako bi zadržale barem dio životnog prostora.
