The Flood Recedes

I think it's safe to say that the threat of our little corner of Bangkok being flooded has passed, and for the most part, the water levels everywhere else are going down.

Here are some final photos from the Bangkok flood.

Towards the end, supplies were running dangerously low.  At a local 7-11 the only alcohol remaining was some homemade moonshine.


Milk was also in short supply.



At the gate to our neighborhood, they dammed the entrance




In case we were somehow trapped in our home, Nuch hoarded buckets of water.



and moved almost everything except the furniture from downstairs to upstairs.




One weekend, we took a walk by the river.  



What we saw was nothing near as dramatic as some of the pictures I've posted from areas to the North of Bangkok.



Now, I can say I was a first-hand witness to the 2011 Bangkok flood.
