Bangkok Runroaders, are you ready for the worst flood come next week ?

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.

"all "kept" in a glass room behind" - sounds very familiar and very exciting.

Yes, very exciting indeed. Don't worry, I'll comb every hospital, including private hospitals like Camilian and Piyavate.

You should go Siriraj Hospital 16th floor. Heard many young ladies there.

Shit, Minburi is just 15km east of my current place and 7km from my future place.

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'm not concerned about whether they can dig or not. I just need to know if they will dig. Did you see those ang moh students digging? Firstly i think they might be exchange students. The pt is i doubt they were born in thailand. They should be foreigners that probably speak a bit of thai yet there they are digging doing sai kang.

If the same situation occured in sg i doubt you would see ang moh students doing it. Like i mentioned in this freaking country ppl seem to give special privileges to certain ppl simply cos they belong to a particular race or gender.

Also read there that dead rats, roaches and all kinds of trash can be found floating. So sanitation is an important factor to consider. Many places are putting out huge basins of water for guests to wash their feet and shoes before walking in the premises.

Have to be in BKK to pick up something by next week. Client says inner BKK looks OK. Hope he's right.
