According to local media, despite their best efforts to prevent flooding in the capital, no one can give a hundred percent guarantee that it would not happen, even though local officials promised to bring the flooding under control. But the general opinion, even of the most optimistic Thais still boils down to this - it is the largest natural disaster in the last decade, which has already took away at least three hundred of human lives.

And now the population faces only one problem – staying calm and being ready to be evacuated to safe areas.
