Yes, inner Bangkok will be flooded soon. I say this because I believe I live in “inner” Bangkok. I am not far from the BTS skytrain and lifestyle shopping areas. Now, the “water” is a few kilometers away from my house. My local supermarket where I go for monthly supplies without having to use the…

The rain has made my walking trips a bit difficult this rainy season, so I am turning to indoor activities for the moment. Having a flu is also a big inhibitor of going places. Anyways, thanks to a dear sister, I had the opportunity to attend an event that was really quite informative and…
