The Flood Situation in Thailand

The flood situation in Thailand is very devastating for many people. Some families have lost homes and are trying to find food and water to eat and drink. Many people have evacuated from their homes and are now trying to find a safer place to live in. The flood has affected my family, and we are still in panic because of the disaster.

At present, my family and I have moved out of Bangkok and are currently staying in Pattaya. Before we decided to move to Pattaya, a loud siren was released, which meant that everyone needed to evacuate from their homes and move to a safer place. When my mom heard the siren, the whole family was in panic, and we were packing our bags furiously. Everyone was moving around the house, grabbing this, and grabbing that. We had to move everything from the first floor to the second floor of the house. The only item that we weren't able to move was my piano, because it was incredibly heavy. My mom called Peterson, a piano shop, and asked if we could leave the piano there, but the price was too expensive. Because of that, my dad decided to move the piano far away from the entrance door.
The whole family was ready to go, but we couldn't leave my dog, Felix, behind. To solve that problem, we had to put him in a cage and bring him along with us. On the way to Pattaya, I saw the water gushing out of the drainage. My mom was beginning to get paranoid when she saw that. After two stressful hours, we arrived in Pattaya and we hurried to a vet. The vet where we brought my dog to was like a pet hotel. I wasn't fond of the idea of leaving Felix in the vet for a month, but that was the only reasonable option. My dad booked a hotel for us to stay in, and we hurried into our hotel rooms. After a very stressful day, we could finally rest. Since that day, my mom has always been calling the security in our village to see if it was safe to move back to Bangkok.

The flood situation that is currently happening in Thailand, will definitely affect the country's future in many ways. In the news, I heard that the Government is releasing the water very slowly. After that being said, I predict that the flood situation won't be at rest for a long time. The reasons for that is because the water won't dry up fast, and it will take months until the water has completely evaporated. Also, since the Government is releasing the water slowly, the water will keep on coming. The waters around my dad's work place, AIT, is very high. I presume that it's around two meters because the flood water is almost at the same level as the roof. Close friends who live on the first floor of AIT have lost everything. All their things are now floating in the flood.

I hope the flood waters will end soon. I feel so sorry for the people who have lost their homes and are struggling to find a better place to live in. I hope the Government will be smarter next time, if another big flood is going to approach Thailand. I also hope that the Government will do their best to resolve the flood situation.
