We went back to see our flooded house for the first time, since water invaded our area a month ago. I managed to snap some photos with my camera, but then kept it away while we rode on a boat. It’s not a good idea to have too many gadgets along, especially if the boat ride was a bumpy one!
Here are some photos taken that afternoon.

On the way home. This road is not badly flooded anymore, and trucks can go through.

We must drive on the right side of the road only as the other side has deeper water.

Grocery store operates as usual.

Dry spot at the junction has turned into a retailer spot!

Dry!!!

Garbage is everywhere.
Try not to tought the dirty water if possible unless you don’t mind getting air ambulance service. I saw kids swimming happily in the water where a stupid guy was pissing in the nearby lamp post as if no one could see him. Something about Thai men, they can just pee anywhere.
Nonetheless, water has much receded even if it’s still up to 1m and above on some places around my area.

Save your car!

Life goes on for most people who chose to stay in flooded area, but not evacuating.
We can’t go in further to see our house, but we managed to reach our mooban along Thanon 345. The main road is still badly flooded, so it might be another month before we can finally go home.

One of the houses in our mooban.
I guess my house would be flooded almost at the same level as this neighbor’s house. What really sadden me is not only the water, but the pets left behind. We saw cats and a dog, which are all taken care of by the security guards and workers. The dog howled as we left. I can feel its sadness.
One more month to go….
