Kørte igennem Korat og Saraburi i går... totalt kaos og mange steder var vejene lukkede i det ene spor p.gr.a vand... men der forventes ikke så meget regn de næste dage.... Men mange har måske fået ødelagt deres årlige risproduktion p.gr.a oversvømmelserne.
Korat, Nakhon Sawan, Chaiyphum declared diaster zones

Flooding worsened in many provinces yesterday, causing deaths and upsetting hundreds of thousands of people's lives.
In Nakhon Ratchasima, hit by its worst flood in decades, five people have been killed and many thousands of homes submerged. Many businesses have been forced to shut and hospitals are struggling to cope.
The first floor of both Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima and St Mary Hospitals were under water.
Nakhon Ratchasima Governor Rapi Pongbuppakit called yesterday for help from relevant authorities and charity organisations, saying a large number of locals had been stranded in their homes without food and drinking water.
All 1,127 villages in the province were now declared disaster zones.
Top officials including Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva yesterday took helicopter flights to check the flooding situation in the province, also known as Korat, which is the gateway to the Northeast.
Big floods have wreaked havoc in many other provinces too.
In Chaiyaphum, flooding is the worst in 30 years, with more than 3,000 homes in Chaturat and Bamnet Narong districts flooded. The worse is expected when Chulabhorn Dam will soon release water now exceeding its capacity, putting Kaset Somboon and Phu Kheo districts at risk of high flood.
In Bamnet Narong district, many people were evacuated to higher ground along with their livestock in the face of rising floodwater. Over 200 roads were damaged, and more than 500 houses lost contact with the rest of the country.
In Chatturat district, the worst-hit spots saw floodwater rising well over two metres high. Marooned villagers were now desperately waiting for help.
The situation was bad also in Nakhon Sawan, with water one to two metres deep across the town (Mueang district).
"Floodwater was rising so fast," Manas Potiwat said, as his family camped out near the railway. "We are worried about poisonous animals that may flee to higher ground too but we have no other choice."
The Nakhon Sawan disaster prevention and mitigation office said as many as 68,000 people may have been affected. Close to 167 roads had been cut and 82,220 rai of farmland damaged.
All of Nakhon Sawan province has also been declared a disaster zone.
In Saraburi, floods have ravaged 13 districts, damaging farmland and property. Local governor Thavorn Prommeechai said the Phaholyothin Road was under 50cm of water. The province is about a one-hour drive north of Bangkok. He said run-off from the North would continue to flow south and trouble other areas.
The Royal Irrigation Department said total rainfall from October 14 to 16 was 104mm in Nakhon Sawan, 254mm in Lop Buri, and 175mm in Phetchabun. Heavy downpours meant many dams would have to release water into the Chao Phraya by Friday or before the high tide.

Floods threaten six provinces
Chao Phraya basin braces for deluge
Published: 20/10/2010 at 12:00 AM
Newspaper section: News
Six Central Plains provinces have been placed on high alert against heavy flooding expected to be triggered by overflows from the North.
Hospital staff and soldiers help evacuate a patient from flood-hit Maharat Hospital in Nakhon Ratchasima’s Muang district. Several patients were transferred yesterday to public-run Khon Kaen Hospital in the neighbouring province as the flood waters show no sign of receding. SAROT MEKSOPHAWANNAKUL
Provinces most vulnerable to the deluge are Sing Buri, Chai Nat, Ang Thong, Pathum Thani, Ayutthaya and Nonthaburi, Royal Irrigation Department spokesman Boonsanong Suchatpong said yesterday.
The six provinces would be unable to avoid flooding as a vast amount of water from the North and from Pasak Jolasit Dam in Lop Buri was approaching.
The department is trying to drain as much water as possible from the Chao Phraya River basin before Saturday, when the sea water level will begin to rise because of king tides.
Irrigation officials are worried the rise in the sea water level from Saturday to next Tuesday would worsen the flood situation in the Central Plains as it would hamper drainage.
"We are trying our best to minimise the flood impact but it is impossible to make all areas [in the Central Plains] free from flooding," Mr Boonsanong said.
Bangkok is well prepared for the situation as the capital has the capacity to divert up to 50 million cubic metres of water a day from the city.
Flooding in Nakhon Ratchasima has continued to wreak havoc although efforts have been made to divert waters from flood-hit districts through Chalerm Phrakiat and Chakkarat districts to the Mekong River bordering Ubon Ratchathani.
Khunpoj Buathone, an engineer attached to the water crisis prevention centre at the Water Resources Department, said flood waters in Pak Chong and Pak Thong Chai districts had begun to recede. Although an estimated 400 million cubic metres of water was being released from the spillway of the overflowing Lam Phra Phloeng reservoir, this would not increase flood levels in the two districts as water was being diverted at a rate of 400 cubic metres a second to the Moon River which flows into the Mekong River in Ubon Ratchathani's Khong Chiam district .
Mr Khunpoj said the Moon River was expected to burst its banks today and tomorrow and inundate areas in Satuk district in Buri Ram and Rasi Salai district in Si Sa Ket before reaching Ubon Ratchathani.
Residents in communities near the Moon River should prepare for rising waters, he said.
Nakhon Ratchasima governor Rapee Pongbuppakit said 24 of the province's 32 districts had been flooded. More than 200,000 residents had been affected and about 470,000 rai of land damaged.
The governor said flood waters would soon reach Chalerm Phrakiat, Chakkarat, Non Thai and Non Sung districts.
The Education Ministry said buildings and equipment at 112 schools and educational institutes in Nakhon Ratchasima had been damaged. Urgent repairs were being made to ensure the schools could open for the new semester in 12 days.
Flooding has also begun to affect areas in other northeastern provinces.
In Surin, the provincial irrigation office was draining 7 million cubic metres of water a day from the overflowing Huay Saneng reservoir in Muang district, leaving at least 5,000 rai of farmland under water.
In Chaiyaphum, local residents were evacuated to higher ground as the Lampathao reservoir in Kaeng Khro district overflowed.
The overflow from the Chulabhorn Dam in Khon San district also swamped areas in several districts and flood waters were expected to hit Khon Kaen in the next two days.
In Ayutthaya, Methadol Wichakana, head of the historical park, said the Chao Phraya River was close to overflowing with water being released from the Chao Phraya, Rama VI and Pasak Cholasit dams.

Hej Jesper
Dette flood er noget frygteligt noget lige nu. Jeg læser lige på ThaiVisa at man regner med at dele af Bangkok bliver alvorligt ramt sidst på eftermiddagen, så det er ved at blive slemt.
Her i vores by er det ikke så slemt, men provinsen er hårdt ramt.
Jeg har lige set middags nyhederne på Thai TV, og det ser ikke for godt ud. Der skulle blive lidt mindre regn de næste par dage, men det skulle vende frygteligt tilbage om et par dage.
De forklarede også på TV, at den tyfon der hærger i områderne omkring Thailand, vil i nær fremtid komme ind over Thailand, men med meget mindre styrke, men så med meget vand til følge, så man tror, at regnsæsonen bliver 14 dage til 1 måned længere i år, og dette gør jo situationen håbløs for de stakkels farmere.
'Bølgen' når til Bangkok idag.
Er ved at være træt af regn, men har vist ikke så meget at pive over, i forhold til de, der er ramt af oversvømmelserne.

Hold da helt ferie det var da vildt troede aldrig der kom en slutning på den vandpyt.
Ja også pev jeg da jeg blev gennemblødt i morges da jeg kørte hjem fra lægen.

Kørte selv fra Bkk til Buri Ram i Lørdags, og kom kun igennem pga vi har en høj pickup!
Alle i personbiler og lave biler i det hele taget blev afvist af politiet! Fik at vide det var på eget ansvar! Kørte hjem samme dag, men over bjergene, for ikke at blive fanget deroppe!
Til Lung yao: Sjovt nok er den vidio fra road 24, hvor vi kørte i lørdags. CPF fabrikken på højre hånd så noget værre ud i lørdags! Men det var meget værre ved Pat Chong, der havde vi bovbølge foran bilen

Jeg er ikke rigtigt klar over de andre omr¨der, men her i vores provins i midt Thailand er takseret til at være meget hårdt ramt. Vi har fået 194,4 mm på 6 dage, men det skal også lige sige at vi har 5 floder der mødes her fra nord, så vandstanden stiger jo,når de skal løbe ud i 1.
har hørt fra famillie og venner det er bedre i dag med sol 
Sidder og ser nyhederne nu Skal kører fra Phuket til Chayiaphum kl 5 i morgen tidlig Glæder mig sku ikke hvis der er alt for meget vand og ødelagte veje 
konen siger det bliver værre om et par dage inde ved Bangkok når vandet når derind og så vil hun jo partu også hjem til Budda dag på mandag
Uha og vi skal snart Flyve der ud ? det kan være vi skal tage Båden i stedet ?
