I like your report, For the pass 2 weeks people have left their home in Bangkok by using highway route #4 which my motel is on that route in Munag, Nakhonprathom, west of Bangkok, Thailand. As for your record, the flood is just 15 miles from us, now I am waiting and preparing for this huge floods and still everybody told me that our town area will survive form this crisis.
