Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock since early October, you’re already aware that Thailandis currently experiencing its worst flooding in half a century. With no end to the flooding in sight, and the death toll now numbering over 500, it’s worth checking out our roundup of Thailand Law Forum’s video footage of the disaster, which we’ve been filming and monitoring since the flooding reached the province of Pathum Thani, just north of Bangkok.
Our first flood video, Thailand Flooding October 2011, focuses on the plight of the residents of Pathum Thani province, which has been flooded with over a meter of floodwater. The residents interviewed for thisvideo had lost their homes, their possessions, and their jobs; more upsettingly, most residents were dealing with floods without any form of local or governmental assistance.
