According to some scientist Bangkok will be under water in 10 – 15 years and it is really time to take that in before you invest in a Apartment or House in Bangkok.
Bangkok is on the 13 on the list and other big cities include Dhaka in Bangladesh; Buenos Aires in Argentina; Rio de Janeiro in Brazil; Shanghai and Tianjin in China; Alexandria and Cairo in Egypt; Mumbai and Kolkata in India; Jakarta in Indonesia; Tokyo and Osaka-Kobe in Japan; Lagos in Nigeria; Karachi in Pakistan; and New York and Los Angeles in the United States, according to studies by the United Nations.
So Thailand will not face the problem alone it will be a world event and even if you not believe in global warming the water level is has been raising steadily for many years.
Along with the new airport Bangkok is also built on a Swamp but since we have made roads on all the canals the rain water and raising water will have no where to go.
Let’s see if the politicians in Bangkok can agree on this and save Bangkok for all our sakes.
