Some of the sandbag dikes have already broken upstream and no one knows how they will hold around Bangkok ,

But they seem to be ready to let the other side of the river basin flood to save the city,

I think the problem in the tourist areas will be if there are heavy thunderstorms and there is no where for the water to go because the klongs / canels are filled up so high that water cannot drain into them,

I hope all goes well
