Bangkok Flood - Frustrations

Darn….running out of supplies here in Phuket cos factories in Bangkok still not operational.

 

Frankly, or perhaps I’m just naïve, why don’t the government just declare 2 days of emergency, shut down the whole of Bangkok for 2 days so that they can finally release the water and let it through once and for all. Give the people 3-4 days to prepare, remove stock, move them elsewhere, leave the province, move to somewhere safe, then at a specific time raise the alarm and release the waters.

 

Then finally everyone can start to move on and clean up. Thai people are very good at picking up the pace after a disaster, but this stuck in limbo / purgatory is very very damaging to the economy.

 

Yes Bangkok under water will be bad news but seriously, everyone already knows Bangkok is flooded so what worse PR could come out of shutting Bangkok down just to get this over and done with?  

 

This trickling of water through the floodgates is taking too much time and time is money. The longer the factories do not operate, the less supplies we get, the more money we lose.

 

Who, what, why, how are these people in-charge making their decisions?!?!

 

Where on earth can a flood last for months?!
