Rain 2012 BANGKOK

It's the blessed time when the summer heat in Bangkok finally breaks to the rainy season. Of course when the earth has been being baked with 100% temperatures for days on end the problem is the water, when it falls, can not penetrate so it begins to roll.

The flood of 2011 was a wake up call to those of us in one of the world's biggest sea level cities. I shot this video 2 days before I was driven from my home for 3 weeks. Global warming or government mismanagement of water flow, 2011 was an economic nightmare and an emotionally draining event that put us all in survival mode.

I love the rain, but I must say I'll be keeping a keen eye on the level of water in my streets. If the floods come again can someone please  rent me a couch or guest room at a REALLY LOW PRICE.
