Travel: Thailand - Bangkok

[verykiasu2010]

the coming week is crucial due to high tide period


so even when they release the water to flow through the city it may not do the work because of incoming tide

it should have been done earlier to avoid clashing with incoming tide, wasted effort

Yingluck not in luck

Ever since the crazy man smashed 4 faced buddha’s statue at Grand Hyatt, Thailand has been having alot of issues politically and natural disasters.

If you re booked on Thai airways, think theY allow you to defer till later date. That s good gesture fr airline

Any good hotel reservation website to recommend?

[peapot]

I m thinking of going too but I hear that the people do not have access to clean water yet. So the food operators are using unknown source of water for cooking. This is quite worrying.
