Life in the floods

Life out here in and around Bangkok hasn’t been the easiest at this time of the year...many roads have been completely flooded so that even the biggest 4x4 trucks weren’t able to pass for a quite long time
some roads have been totally taken apart by all the water (that 4x4 on the picture was already lifted up to maximum ground clearance and even they almost couldn’t make it thru)other roads recovered pretty fast and after a couple of days had no water on them at all...

But as the Thai people are they do the best they can in any situation and still are as friendly as ever to everybody and help where they can... I even found the best christmas tree ever again which I already missed from last year
and no, those white wall aren’t supposed to imitate the snow, they are actually sandbag barriers against the flood, which luckily didn’t reach Bangkok downtown but they were prepared for everything...
