Some very interesting pictures in there. Surprised this isn't being talked about more in the news. Apparently these heavy rains have been going on since July, and it's just now gotten to the point where the river running through the city is about to burst it's dikes and nothing can be done about it. Will put most of Bangkok under 1.5 meters of water. Pretty intense.

It's on the news every night in Australia, as I guess it's in our region.

Former co-worker on Facebook says the locals don't mind...

Yeah, like you haven't seen a ladyboy dressed like a mermaid before.

In serious news there's been a lot of flooding in Ireland too. A policeman got swept away trying to direct traffic In Dublin and drowned

That sounds like a good start to a joke, right up till the last two words.
