H.M. The King 84th Birthday Celebration

December 5, 2011 is a special day in Thailand, as the 84th birthday of H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Colorful lighting and decorations are installed on certain spots around Bangkok, especially around Sanamluang. The Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Temple are opened for Thais and visitors free of charge. This is a good opportunity for photographers, despite that the area is so crowded that taking a nice shot could be challenging.

Thailand Flood, 2011

October 2011: North, Northeast, and central Thailand now faces a severe crisis from inundation. Flood spreads into several provinces such as Nakorn Sawan, Lopburi, Ayudthaya, Pathumthani, Nonthaburi, to name only a few, with water level above 3 meters in low regions. The Thai government admits that all areas of Bangkok are now at risk. The actual level depends on the height of each district above sea level. Nevertheless, the city architecture and infrastructure is well-prepared to handle the situation, with water pumps, canals, or even large tunnels for water drainage. It remains to be seen whether they work effectively as claimed.
