Maybe this is where Thailand finally wakes up and realizes that Bangkok (and most of the country, as it happens), simply isn't a viable long term city? I've already seem some proposals from the Prime Minister to turn it into a modern water world with floating and underwater buildings. But seriously, rising sea levels, rains, and a massive flood plain make Bangkok a death trap in the middle distant future. Acts of nature like this should serve as a wake up call.

It's pretty terrible! They're at least better prepared for it than the Pakistan floods, but yes — it's something of a wake-up call. I'm glad it's getting attention.
