"NOAH" where art thou...

Thailand is experiencing record flooding, the kind that happens only every 50 years.  The next four days the government thinks that we will see a  rise in the river of another 2-4 meters and that means more flooding.  And it is raining again tonight!



I decided to go out and take a few pictures of some of the areas that are close to our home that have been hit already by flood waters. Our neighborhood might find it self surround by water, so today was my chance.

I don't think the even the dog was willing to go for a swim in the newly created river on the street in front of his home!

The Rains came down and the FLOODS came up!!

Boys will be BOYS - no matter the weather or water!!

The major problem is that the sand bags don't always hold back the water.  They are in constant repair and damage come quick if the bagged walls break.

This is a picture of my maid, Lek, on the right.  She is with her two friends that are helping those effected by the flood in their neighborhood.  It is amazing to see the smile in such a time as this!
