It is Friday November 25 and the flood is completely gone from our area of Prawet. Unfortunely, the same is not true for several northern districts of Bangkok and provinces just north of Bangkok. Those that have been under high water for more than a month are making everyone aware of thier plight through protests and damage of flood barriers. Many homes have been under 2 meters of smelly black water for over a month and they need relief from the government. The areas that are now dry need cleaned and homes/buildings require major rehabilitation. Below are photos of the damage to a family friend's home.

On the brighter side of things, our house construction is progressing nicely. The second floor concrete work is done and the roof is about to go on.

I am off to the good old USA for a while so the blog may suffer a little. The wife will continue to oversee the house contruction and take photos.
