RE: https://mstdn.social/@Free_Press/117336321039642791 If you've never been there/read up on it, Bangkok's greater metropolitan area is home to over 17 million people—we're talking New York/London in scale—and is on the Chao Phraya river delta in reclaimed swampland. There are canals, and drainage is a perpetual problem. This is as bad as the entire Netherlands facing inundation.
