The flooding in Soi Phraya Suren 35, Khlong Sam Wa, Bangkok, on September 30, 2069 found that villages along the soi remain inundated, with some areas shallow but The Tara Village water waist-high and lasting six days, causing murky, smelly water. Although water level has dropped 30 centimeters, villagers remain anxious.
Mrs. Pracha Thongkhruh, 68, a village homemaker living beside Khlong Khlok, said water entered her home about two days ago, leaving her unable to do anything but stay in the water as she had nowhere else to go. When the water receded she helped fellow villagers, noting her role as a village homemaker. She said she has lost income because she works on a daily‑wage basis; without work she fears she will earn nothing this month if the water does not recede, heightening her worries about meeting loan repayments and weekly medical bills.
She also worries about additional inflow from upstream, fearing another round of flooding that would leave her with no escape route, as she owns no vehicle.
Mr. Thanes, 33, reported similar damage to his furniture and said he wants to return to work but cannot leave the flooded area. He wonders whether more upstream water will arrive, fearing further impact.
Meanwhile, Mr. Wasun Kansit, 72, who was airing documents inside his house, said that on September 25, when flooding began, he was away from home and could not salvage his belongings in time. After returning two days later, his work‑related documents were soaked, along with furniture. Fortunately, floodwater entered his car but did not reach the engine, so the vehicle remains usable. He accepted the situation, acknowledging that other areas are worse, but hopes the water will recede so he can resume normal life.
The village has placed sandbags around leaks to prevent further seepage, buying sand and sacks and asking residents to help fill them. The village also deployed its own water‑pumping equipment to expel water outside and lower the level inside.
