Is the recent flooding in Thailand too much for the Thai people?
Will the normally so calm Thai people topple the newly elected government for its total failure to handle the massive flooding. The Thai government got great support when elected but I bet if you do a poll on how many Thai people are happy the way they handled the Thai flooding they will get very low ratings.
What is true?
From a few days to a month the Thai government has really no idea how long the flooding will stay in Bangkok. Just one week ago the Thai government said the flooding with only hit the middle of Thailand and spare Bangkok. After that it said it will only hit outskirts of Bangkok and not center and now they are talking about the water staying another month in Bangkok.
People in upcountry Thailand already starting to drag the sandbags down to make the water pass their villages and flood Bangkok instead. They tired of not having food and a dry bed to sleep on.
No food and Water
In Facebook Thai people in Bangkok are now reporting big short comings of some food and water and in Pattaya people are reporting that people from Bangkok come and buy their food supplies in Bulk leaving Pattaya empty as well.
The tourist has probably not noticed the problems in Pattaya yes but there is a high season coming and will there enough food and water to go around?
The sale of small plastic boats maxed out and there is no plastic boats to get in the greater Bangkok area at the moment.
Carton Comics & Pictures
A great number of cartoon comics is floating around on the internet making fun of the PM of Thailand and that she do not want to get her feet wet because they are designer items.
There is also a great number of photos showing closed factories and cars parked on highways to avoid the flooding in Bangkok. Pizza hut is also providing flood delivery by boat.
Who is in control?
A recent yes and no from the Thai government has sparked outcry on social media from Thai people. The Thai government could not decide if they wanted help from the US Navy with relief work so the US Navy directed their ships to go elsewhere. It looks like the Thai people totally lost faith in the newly elected government to fix the flooding problems.
