Recently while in Bangkok I took the sky train to the end of the line to take a look at some of the flooding which has inundated parts of the city. The photos shown here are not the worst of the flooding as small cars and trucks can still get around, but nearer to Don Muang airport the flooding is much worse with water over 1 meter. Don Muang airport has been closed for some weeks now as the runways are completely covered. The Northern part of the city is having the worst of the flooding so it is difficult for so many living in these flooded areas. The photo just below leading into the week end markets (Jatujak market) shows that the markets are also closed.
Mo Chit area at the end of the sky train line is flooded mainly on the roads. The inner city has so far been spared, but companies are taking precautions and preparing for the worst with having sand bags and other barriers put up in front of their buildings. The flooding has been going on already for almost 2 months.

Bigger trucks are able to carry passengers around in areas where normal vehicles have difficulties. Army trucks as well are helping to transport people to different areas.
