All haulers going to Bangkok to search for DB, HH and other diecasts be warned cos the massive floodwater runoff from northern and central regions is expected to reach the capital today or Monday. Director-General of Irrigation said that the floodwater runoff was expected to be between 2.3 and 2.4 metres above sea mean level. The height of Bangkok floodwalls is 2.5 metres. The Natural Resources and Environment Ministry has projected earlier 16 billion cubic metres of floodwater runoff to reach the capital. Eight billion cubic metres of the runoff is expected to come from Nakhon Sawan province, six billion cubic metres from Ayutthaya province and two billion cubic metres from Phatum Thani province.

The current high sea tide was also expected to continue in the next two days. About one-third of the country remains inundated, with 2.3 million people from more than 10,000 villages in 24 provinces in the northern and central regions affected by the floods which hit the country in stages since July 25 with 297 death toll recorded to date.

Car and car parts will be more and more expensive. Any price hike of building materials also will affected Malaysia. Same goes to food. Not a good time now.

Lapangan terbang Bangkok, Don Muang ditutup ekoran bajir yang melanda ibu kota Thailand itu, sekaligus meletakkan pihak berkuasa negara itu berada dalam keadaan berjaga-jaga dalam menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan.

Lapangan Terbang Don Mueang yang menampung penerbangan domestik telah ditutup sementara sejak semalam hingga 1 November.

Bukan itu sahaja, cuti umum selama lima hari telah diisytiharkan bermula Rabu sebagai persiapan sekiranya banjir bertambah buruk.

Kerajaan Thailand mengumumkan cuti umum tersebut kepada ibu kota Bangkok dan 20 wilayah lain yang terjejas teruk kerana banjir yang paling buruk dalam tempoh 50 dekad.

Beberapa kedai di sana turut mula mencatu makanan apabila penduduk mula membeli serta menyimpan stok makanan bagi menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan.

Lebih memburukkan keadaan apabila pihak pasar raya mula mengehadkan pembelian beras dengan setiap pengguna hanya dibenarkan membeli sekampit beras, satu papan telur serta penggunaan kertas tandas turut dicatu.

Pasar Chathuchak yang menjadi tumpuan pelancong pula akan ditutp hingga hujung minggu ini.

Update

Embattled Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Thursday vowed to stay on and fight the country's deadly flood crisis despite criticism of her handling of the disaster.

"People supported and voted for me so I want to continue my work to the best of my ability," she told reporters when asked whether she was considering resigning.

The floods, triggered by months of unusually heavy rains, have killed 533 people and damaged the homes and livelihoods of millions around the country.

The waters are now slowly closing in on the heart of Bangkok, a city of 12 million people, swamping major roads and threatening the downtown area's luxury hotels, businesses and shopping malls.
