Thailand flooding update October 25, 2011: Don Muang airport now affected, and a new “worst case scenario” map
Here’s the latest on the flooding here in Bangkok as of 3:30 p.m, October 25, 2011:
Summary
- The domestic airport, Don Muang, has now been hit by flooding, affecting commercial flights. Suvarnabhumi, the international airport, is fine. (See AP story below)
- The government has declared Oct. 27-31 as a holiday to allow people to cope with floods. (See Reuters story below.)
- A Thai-language “worst case scenario” Bangkok flooding map appeared last night in the Bangkok Post and has been doing the rounds online.
It seems to indicate that if all flooding defenses fail, floodwaters could reach 20-100 cm (7-49 inches) for parts of of central Bangkok. (See third map below, along with my caveat.)
