Bangkok 25th October, 2011.

News from Thailand is that the government has just announced a five-day holiday for Bangkok and 20 provinces in order to allow people to escape the floods that continue to threaten Bangkok and outlying areas. Early last week it was thought that the waters were diminishing, but by last Friday,the threat seemed to be increasing.

In a high-risk operation last week, most canal gates in the capital were opened in order to take the pressure off defensive walls. By doing this it was hoped to divert the rising flood waters into the sea from around the east and west of the capital, but this raised the chance of inner-city flooding. The worst flooding in 50 years coupled with high tides in the Gulf of Thailand is complicating efforts to divert the waters from the low-lying capital, and the sandbags and other barriers that were erected along the banks of the canals look in danger of collapsing

Today, Tuesday 25th October, the prime minister warned that the capital was facing further flooding and there was danger of the barriers collapsing. The city's survival rests on the fate of these dykes.
