Taking a dip: This Buddha statue, in traditional robe, is half submerged by flood water at an ancient temple

Maybe but then there are thousands of them in thailand, so it might be another one.
you have to show your photo side by side.

This large restaurant near the canal next to Rangsit University in Pathum Thani was almost deserted on Tuesday night. Staff say many regular customers live in the Muang Ake housing development and have either left their homes or are afraid to go out because of concerns about flooding. Photo by Thiti Wannamontha.

Foreign and Thai students of Rangsit University shovel sand into bags to make a flood wall along Khlong Rangsit. The canal, which is fed by the Chao Phraya River, is threatening to inundate the university and Muang Ake housing estate in Pathum Thani's Muang district. Photo by Thiti Wannamontha.

Pattaya, a sunny morning but gloomy afternoon. Looks like it's going to rain anytime. Temperature is at around 26-27 since afternoon.

Nice weather is to Jim Joom (Thai steamboat) and Moo Ka Ta (BBQ) for dinner.

Bangkok Bang Khen area rain started about 4pm now ended.

Orbortor of Klong Luang had started evacuating people from Klong 4 (my factory location) since 3pm. Was told that 1.5m dyke stopping flood water has been breached. The Klong has now reached the brim and should overflow by now. Was also told that the flood will probably reach only 1m. If this is so it is alright as you have provision for 1.5m. Only essential staff are stationed in factory now to man pumps and walls.

Heard this morning news from radio that Patumthani had been breached and the entire city centre was 1m deep and could be 1.5m deep eventually. Also heard that Samut Sakhon is also flooded and Sirikit Dam is also overflowing.

Looks bad, Bangkok has been breached at its northern and southern fronts.

Make sure there are people at the factory 24 hours. This is the best time for the opportunist thieves to go around shopping for valuables.

To actually see ang moh students and gals at that doing this type of work. If this was sg it would never happen. Firstly the bangalas would be doing it since they are the ones hired. If that's not the case and they need more help perhaps the NS men would be deployed. Then maybe civil defence and the whole line until the male students. For the local female and foreign ang moh students to need to shovel stuff in sg i think you can start to see dogs and cats fly and LKY donates 90% of his wealth.

Please let me correct my post below, maid told me Sirikit Dam had collapsed, not overflow. Shit had just hit the fan fellas.

Can anyone confirm this? If this is true I may wish to add, this is a bad sign for the mama.

Pic will be better if taken from another angle a little bit more to the left. (no pun intended. a little to cheer up everyone)
Have no worries when it comes to digging sand bags. Almost all NS and ROD NS can do sand bags and dig trenches. Banglas and FT would have runroad to their own countries if flood of this scale comes to SG.

SG Zha Bor not sure if they know how to do it but if think rather not trust the SG Zha Bors to do it. Oxley just next door to Orchard.

I just came back from my boat trip all the way from Hua Chang Pier to Thonglor. The water level is normal, minus 0.5 metres.

The pharmacists in Bangkok General Hospital are all "kept" in a glass room behind the dispensary counter. There is no way you can touch base with any of them.

Thanks for the update Pojaman. Rain poured very very heavily just a while ago now stopped.
