Good news road runner to thailand, you got free holidays
THAILAND has declared a three-day holiday in Bangkok and other flood-affected areas as high tides are forecast to flow up the city's main river and worsen floods creeping into the city.
Schools, businesses and government offices will shut tomorrow and on Friday, and the following Monday, creating a five-day break in the capital and 20 other provinces.
"The cabinet today approved the declaration of October 27 through to 31 as holidays," Pracha Promnog, head of the Flood Relief Operations Centre, said yesterday after ministers met to discuss the crisis in Bangkok.
Thailand's government says the death toll from catastrophic flooding nationwide has risen to 366 since they began in late July.
The holiday announcement came after Bangkok governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra warned residents along the Chao Phraya river to be on "full alert" after it reached record highs of 2.3m on Monday.
"If the situation continues in these circumstances, the water level this weekend will hit 2.6m, while our average flood embankment is 2.5m high," he said.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's cabinet met north of the city centre at Don Muang airport, which is doubling up as a shelter and a headquarters for the relief operation, but is already surrounded by water-logged roads.
"We are concerned about evacuees because there is a problem with travelling here," Ms Yingluck said before the meeting.
"We will move them to safe areas," she said, but added that, for now, FROC's operations would remain at the airport.
Floodwaters breached barriers defending Bangkok's second airport yesterday and began seeping into the compound, forcing at least one airline based there to suspend flights for a week, officials said.
It was unclear how much water had entered Don Muang airport, which is primarily used for domestic flights. An airport official confirmed that water had crept inside, but said runways were unaffected and flights were still operating normally.
Budget airline Nok Air suspended operations at Don Muang until November 1 "because water has entered the north side of the airport already", the company's chief executive, Patee Sarasin, said.
Mr Patee said all airborne planes would be diverted to Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport, the country's main international gateway. He said refunds would be given as needed.
FROC said water levels north of Bangkok were stable or subsiding, but the massive run-off was still bearing down on the city of 12 million as it flowed south towards the Gulf of Thailand.

Looks like Suvarnabhumi is safe
The country's main international airport, Suvarnabhumi, is well protected by dykes and pumps, and the tourism and sports minister says the catastrophic floods upcountry have so far not hurt the tourism sector.
The 23.5-kilometre earth dyke surrounding Suvarnabhumi international airport has been checked and reinforced, among other measures taken to safeguard it from flooding, the airport's spokeswoman said on Tuesday.
Wilaiwan Nadwilai said Suvarnabhumi airport management had a flood prevention plan and had met with representatives of airlines, businesses and government agencies to discuss immediate steps to be taken when the floodwaters from the North arrive in Bangkok in a few days.
The Rural Roads Department has also been asked to quickly dredge Lat Krabang canal to improve the flow of water to the south and out into the Gulf.
In the area south of Suvarnabhumi airport, the Royal Irrigation Department will drain water out to the sea as necessary.
Suvarnabhumi airport itself is surrounded by a 23.5km long, three metre-high earth dyke. It was being checked and reinforced.
Inside the area protected by the dyke there are canals to drain water into six reservoirs which can hold a total of four million cubic metres of water, she said.
There are two water pumping stations south of the airport. Each station has four pumps which can handle 12 cubic metres of water per second, or one million cubic metres of water per day.
Ms Wilaiwan said the airport management has confidence in its preparedness to cope with any threat of flooding.

Wanted to get one of them fibreglass sampan for 5k baht but figured a one way ticket back to Udon is more feasible for her

Any real live updates from inner BKK? Thong Lor and Klong Toey? Pattaya still standing strong with daily traffic jams and the unpredictable rains.

The way to handle flood situation is actually easy and inexpensive. Once the rain or tide comes to a point that you adjudge that flood is inevitable, evacuate. Take just your valuables and treasurables along with you. In context of central Thailand and Bangkok, there's no need to go to Japan like rich Joetys can afford to. Just hop over to Songkhla or Malaysia and wait a few weeks will do. Take a break and enjoy the vacation. Let the house and furniture be flooded. Defending your furniture against flood is going to cost more time, effort and money, and incur more personal risk, than simply buying new furniture and calling for some structural repairs when you return after the flood has subsided. Take it as periodical renovation and upgrading.
