Re: Hatyai,Thailand For Sawadee Newbies

Michael Jackson used to have a tattoo on his dicky and as it get's hard, the skin unfolds and a beautiful butterfly (tattoo) would emerge.

This according to a German article was one of his tricks to fascinate the young boys in his room.

Then, rushed to get it removed (very quickly in Switerland) when it was mentioned as evidence of the little boy who accused him of sexual misdeeds!

Cool Big flood in Haadyai again ??? Like in Nov 2000 ????

Report from Bangkok Post dated Wednesday 21 December 2005 :-

Hat Yai outskirts hit hard by flood drainage :Communities around city still under water

By Bangkok Post Reporters

Flooding has taken a heavy toll on residents living in areas on the outskirts of Songkhla's Hat Yai district while officials have battled hard to save the province's business and tourism city centre.

Bang Faeb, Khutao and riverside communities outside Hat Yai city remained inundated as floodwaters were pumped from downtown to these areas. The worst hit was Ban Tai village in tambon Khutao where floodwaters rose to three metres.

Many areas on the outskirts of Hat Yai have been turned into a sea of muddy water. Electricity and tap water have been cut off for two days as the areas have been used to hold water from the U Tapao canal before it is drained off into the Songkhla Lake.

"About 2,000 households in tambon Khutao are in dire need of state assistance. We are running out of food supplies and necessity items. Many roads are impassable. We have to help ourselves and don't know when it will stop raining and or when the floodwaters will recede," said Sophon Phetsri, 36, a flood victim in tambon Khutao.

He criticised provincial authorities for draining floodwaters from inner areas to the surroundings, causing severe flooding in the process. Little state assistance has reached affected residents, he said.

Deputy Interior Minister Sermsak Pongpanit had ordered local authorities to use all means to protect business areas in the inner areas of Hat Yai district from the floods. But the pumping of floodwaters to the outskirts has sparked an outcry from residents now under water.

Songkhla Governor Somporn Chaibangyang attributed the severe flooding to run-off from the U Tapao and Ror 1 canals. The situation was more worrying in areas around Songkhla Lake such as Ranot, Sathing Phra, Khutao Khuan Niang, Singha Nakhon areas, he said.

He said the authorities had tried their best to take care of all districts. As Hat Yai town was considered the economic powerhouse of the South, more efforts had been directed to protect it from the flooding, said the governor.

Chit Banluesil, chairman of the Songkhla chamber of commerce, said damage caused by the floods was estimated to come to at least one billion baht.

The Southern Disaster Prevention Centre on Tuesday put the death toll from the floods in the South at 35.

In Pattani, many areas in Muang and Nong Chik districts were about 50cm under the water. However, communities along the Pattani river were badly affected as floodwaters rose to over one metre high. The province has also been hit by run-off from nearby Yala province.

In Nakhon Si Thammarat, the floodwaters have receded in several districts except Cha-uat and Thung Song districts and areas near the Pak Phanang river where the floodwaters are still 1-2m high.

Cool Heavy downpours predicted from 21 to 23 Dec '05 in Southern Thailand

Report from The Nation dated Wednesday 21 December 2005 :-

FLOOD CRISIS: More downpours forecast for South

Residents throughout flood-ravaged region warned to brace for more heavy rain over the next three days. Residents in the South - already reeling from the worst flooding in decades - are bracing for more heavy rain. Downpours are predicted for today, tomorrow and Friday.

The weather department warned yesterday that more heavy rain was likely everywhere south of Nakhon Si Thammarat.

Many of the major centres - Songkhla, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Pattani, Narathiwat, Phatthalung, Trang, Yala and Satun - are already underwater. Floodwaters have not yet subsided and the situation looks set to get worse. The damage bill already amounted to more than Bt114million.

Flat-bottomed boats have been used to deliver relief items and food to thousands stranded by weeks of rain.

“We are concerned about more heavy rain,” government spokesman Surapong Suebwonglee said.

Hat Yai Mayor Prai Pattano said authorities had just managed to drain floodwater from the town by removing sections of railway track that had acted as a dam, blocking the run-off of waters.

Main roads in the town - the economic hub in the South - were dry and passable, he said late last night.

“But now we have to prepare ourselves for more downpours.”


The situation in Narathiwat also improved yesterday, yet the latest forecast has dampened hopes that things will soon return to normal.

In Yala, landslides yesterday damaged 18 houses in Bannang Sata district and several areas remained underwater.

In Nakhon Si Thammarat, the floodwater reached up to 1.5 metres in the worst-hit spots.

Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department chief Anucha Mokhawes said relevant officials had been instructed to do all they can to disperse floodwaters.

He said Pattani had been hit hardest. Flooding has forced the closure of at least 142 schools in the province and more than 300 in Songkhla.

In Songkhla’s Ranot district, shrimp-farm owner Kajpundit Rarmmark said more than 10,000 rai of shrimp farms were under water.

“In the heavily-hit areas, floodwater are about two metres deep,” he said.

Meanwhile, Public Health Minister Pinij Charusombat expressed concern the floods might allow the spread of conjunctivitis, polio and diarrhoea.

“We have now stocked necessary medicines to treat such diseases,” he said.

The ministry was working closely with local administrative bodies to ensure hygienic standards in the region and

contain any outbreaks of contagious diseases. Pinij said just two hospitals had been closed, despite the floods damaging several medical clinics.

Dr Petchdao Tohmeena, director of the mental-health office overseeing the three southernmost provinces, said the floods had created more stress for residents previously wracked by civil unrest.

“They are understandably more stressed because they are now facing a natural disaster as well as ongoing violence,” she said.

Petchdao said her office could not deliver any help to people affected, because flooding prevented officials from travelling in the area.

“We hope we’ll be able to do something for them next week,” she said.

In the meantime, Dr Petchdao called on those affected to be patient and tolerant.

------------------------------------

Mail piles

Letters and parcels were piling up at Hat Yai post office in Songkhla yesterday as flooding kept postal workers from delivering the mail.

“We have dispatched more than 120 postmen to deliver letters and parcels, but we can only reach lightly flooded areas,” said Jamnong Khongchoo, the post office’s chief.

He estimated about 30,000 letters and parcels had piled up at his office.

Flooding, however, had not prevented a queue from forming outside the local branch of Bangkok Insurance, a company official said. The insurer would swiftly investigate all compensation claims, he added. Meanwhile, Hat Yai’s police yesterday rounded up five suspects for a robbery at a wholesale food shop on Monday.

The suspects, aged 16 to 39, told police they were driven to steal by hunger. Police charged them with theft and trespassing.

For those who are kind enough or sympathetic to the vistims of the Flood Disaster, kindly contact the Thai Embassy in Singapore and Malaysia as to how you can help the flood victims.

Kindly read the report from The Nation dated Tuesday 20 December 2005 :-

SOUTHERN FLOODS: Governors told to gather donations

Interior Ministry calls for consumer goods, money to assist residents of eight affected provinces

The Interior Ministry ordered provincial governors yesterday to collect cash and donations from people across the country to help 400,000 residents caught in the flood-ravaged South.

Interior Minister ACM Kongsak Wantana inspected the situation in Songkhla’s Hat Yai district and instructed provincial governors to collect consumer goods and money to assist flood victims in eight provinces.

Tonight, the ministry will host a TV programme on Channel 11 called “Ruam Namjai Sub Namta Chaotai” (Gathering Goodwill to Shed Southern Tears) from 10pm to midnight to raise funds for affected villagers.

The ministry will also set up a centre to gather donations for flood victims in front of the Provincial Administration Department.

It will also invite governors from 17 neighbouring provinces to donate money through the Channel 11 show.

Her Majesty the Queen yesterday presented flood-affected people in Narathiwat’s Sungai Padi and Sukhirin districts with 3,000 aid packages. The Fourth Region Army transferred the aid packages by helicopter because the areas were cut off by floods.

Meanwhile, the Public Health Ministry dispatched mobile medical teams to affected areas and provided 20,000 sets of medical supplies, while 100,000 medical supply sets will be reserved for later.

Public Health Minister Pinij Charusombat will visit the South later this week to support health officials.

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration yesterday set up donation centres at City Hall near the Giant Swing and at district offices so that residents can donate dried food, fresh water and consumer goods for the flood-affected residents of the South.

BMA governor Apirak Kosayodhin said donations can be made through Krung Thai Bank (Khao San Road branch) in a savings account named “Muang Luang Chuayleau Phuprasobpai”, number 027-44329-4. They can call (02) 224 2958 or (02) 221 2141-69, extension 1424, for more information.

Apirak said the city has already sent two truckloads of dried food and five flat-bottom boats to the disaster relief centre in Songkhla province.
Report from The Nation dated Wednesday 21 December 2005 :-

Donations needed for flood victims

The Nation Multimedia Group's office is to act as a collection point for donations for those affected by the floods in the southern provinces.

The Nation, together with other Nation Group media members including Kom Chad Luek, Krungthep Thurakij and Nation Weekly newspapers and the Nation Channel will contribute to the flood-relief by receiving and transferring donated provisions and funds to the flood-hit provinces.

Provisions required include canned foods, rice (5-kilo packages are the most convenient for delivery purposes) and drinking water.

Individuals can bring their contributions to the newspaper office at 44 Moo 10, Bang Na-Trat road, Bangkok, between 9am and 5pm on weekdays, or call (02) 340 1575 for more information.

Monetary donations can also be transferred from personal bank accounts. The account number for donations will be published in Friday's newspaper. The funds will be used to repair schools and temples damaged by the floods.

Cool Big flood in Haadyai again ??? Like in Nov 2000 ????

Report from The Nation dated Thursday 22 December 2005 :-

SOUTHERN FLOODING: Damage to Hat Yai estimated at Bt1 billion


Spending dries up in region’s business centre; M’sian tourists stay at home. Floods have caused up to Bt1 billion in damages to Hat Yai district in Songkhla, which is considered to be the commercial hub of southern Thailand.

“Even though relevant authorities have managed to drain floodwater from the business district, the adverse consequences have continued because nearby areas remain submerged and consumers there have stopped spending,” said Chit Banluesilp, chairman of the Songkhla Chamber of Commerce yesterday.


Songkhla is one of eight provinces that have been hit by floods recently.

Sorajak Juthong, who chairs the Songkhla Entertainment Business Association, said the entertainment district in the province is still under nearly one metre of floodwater.

“That means nearly 100 entertainment venues in the district have had to shut down throughout the week. Given that each place usually earns around Bt30,000 each night, the damages in lost business are huge,” he said.


He added that consumers are unlikely to spend money during such hard times.

Noppol Prakijwattanakool, the chairman of Hat Yai Retailer Club, said he believed consumers are spending less money during this holiday season.

“Malaysian tourists will not be coming because their home country is also flooded,” he said.


While authorities rushed to protect Hat Yai, several other districts in the province remained submerged. In Thepa district, strong currents swept two 15-year-old girls away as they were driving a motorcycle.

The body of one of the girls, Pakamart Petchkaew, has already been found, while Parichart Pansai remains missing and is feared dead. Pattani Governor Panu Utairat said around 87 per cent of the province was damaged in the flood. He said that damages to infrastructure, houses and farmlands were estimated at around Bt97 million. As of press time, some 300 families were still seeking shelter on higher ground after their houses had become submerged by floodwater.

Phra Mahacharat Uchucharo, the deputy abbot at Chang Hai Temple in Pattani’s Khok Pho district, said relevant authorities had yet to deliver aid to monks. “Our temple is flooded. Fortunately some local people still give us food,” he said.

In Trang, provincial disaster prevention and mitigation chief Sant Chatarawong said damages to farmland, livestock and fish farms alone have risen to over Bt47 million.

A landslide in Phatthalung’s Kong Ra district resulted in numerous trees being uprooted over 20 rai of farmland. Provincial authorities now plan to evacuate 500 families in nearby areas.

Meanwhile, Agriculture Minister Sudarat Keyuraphan said the flooding situation in the South looked set to improve because the rains had stopped.

Bangkok Governor Apirak Kosayodhin said donations for flood victims in the South had risen to Bt336,320 in addition to piles of relief items. “We have already sent six trucks with relief items to the South, and we are going to send more,” he said.

Locals in Phuket, which has not been affected by the floods, have also been raising funds for flood victims.
