Bangkok, ThailandFriday, October 28, 2011
On the Bangkok elevated train this morning when I noted this diagram in my neighbor's newspaper. My lack of Thai was no barrier: clearly this diagram is instructing us in proper sandbag filling techniques. When I reached my destination down by the river, water was pouring into the street from the river. I hiked up my pants and waded across the street to the conference hotel.
Clearly Bangkok is a city under siege.
