Bangkok Flooding Blues

It was extraordinary for me to sight this Bangkok post graphic of the water level you would have been standing in, in various Bangkok suburbs last Saturday. I was there then, and fortunately for me, I was the shopper at far right - on dry ground.

However, I photographed help at hand in PhayaThai -  sidewalk gumboot sellers. Even tie-up thigh boots - in burgundy and khaki - quite the fashion in trying times.

This doesn't make it any easier though. The flood water still prevails in Bangkok and 18 provinces, and the death toll keeps rising - as of yesterday Fri Nov 18th - 594.
