Bangkok 1942 Floods

This is a good one. YouTube 7 minutes of the above. Very strange to see landmarks with people going by them in boats. A good slice of history here. Pete

Nice video, although the use use of boats seem a bit of overkill in many places. In fact they seem to be causing chaos outside the station.

It could be the times. Antibiotics were just coming into use and perhaps none in Thailand yet as my understanding the war effort was using up the entire supply. Adverse to waterborne diseases, not socially acceptable to walk in water dressed for business etc. Just thinking out loud. The Japanese were here then. Didn't spot any or military vehicles in the film though. Pete
