The flooding situation was horrific here, entire neighbourhoods were wiped out and people had camped by the highway to earn a stay of survival, using metal sheets as shelter. My stay in Bangkok was short, opting for the first flight out to Krabi, with the threat of flooding becoming very real in the capital.
