Bangkok reacts to the floods.....A photo post

This a few pics I have compiled from walking around my local area. I was surprised to see how many people react.............basically it seems the floods are a novelty to most of the locals......well those that have stayed, being the less affluent. The water that rose up smelt terrible and I got a little on my calf's and it really itched and irritated my skin. How weak of me as the neighbourhood kids treated it like a day out at the beach!
Local kids playing in the stinky water

A couple walked back and forward for giggles

Govt. official checking his boots worked......They were not "Burberry"

This stagnant Klong is 1 of the worse ones I have smelt. Today the near black water moved and aroused the attention of  the local fishing fraternity




The water in the Rama 3 area didn't rise very high by comparison this day and subsided by the following morning. The water level seems to rise and fall daily. The is no local information to explain this. Everyone we spoke to is unclear as to what to expect or what they should do to best look after themselves.
