Collegues and friends from Bangkok have sent us the latest picture from the flood in Thailands Capitol Bangkok. The pictures are shoot today ( 26.10.2011) and show the latest Impressions from this awful disaster.
The water only is not dangerous for the life of the people- in some cases the water is since some days in the groundfloor of shops , offices and appartments – the waste carried away by the water including animal carcasses, rat urin and the power cable are the life-threatening things.
Right now the always friendly smiling Thai are still calm and relaxed – but nobody knows how many water is coming in the near future, how many days the water will be in the streets – and first of all: what is coming after the water ?
A real disaster in the popular resort area!

streets now used as rivers – boats instead of cars

Also the dogs need help!

Here you can imagine how high the water in some streets is. Care boxes with food have to be dry!

everybody like to help or needs help!

Happy girl – she has some food for the next hours!

Happy Dad, has dry food for his family!

A lot of the Thai people cannot swim!

Grandma is waiting for help! She told us that this is the highest water in the last 50 years of her life.

Food and help for the Grandma is coming with the “elevator”!
