Flood is a major concern in Bangkok and Ayuthaya and many small villages near the river. The two river that affected all these poor and worrying people is the Chao Phraya river and the Pa sak river along with small canals. I live in Ayuthaya where there is a majority of flood victims is living. I was not affected by the flood even though I live next to the Chao Phraya river which I think that is a little weird. But, because of these flooding we couldn't reach out to mall nor the grocery store. This is because about a kilometer from my house there is knee-deep water. So, i am having a hard time getting around its like a island! I feel really sorry for the people who are living in the road because their houses have been flooded. My neighbors and me decided to donate something for the flood victims and so we donated wool blankets and some eatables. I have watched the news recently ans I have found that there would be shortage of food in malls. Yesterday, my family and I went to see the Asia Highway where there was flood. Now there is now water so we went to see how is the road conditions are. Oh my was i surprised! The road was completely destroyed and all the plants that give a good look became brown and died. Lots of farmers fields of rice is destroyed as well. Thailand's economy rate will rapidly go down and producers have a huge loss in business. People in Thailand will need to face poverty and sadness.
Aparna, it is truly wonderful to know that your home has been spared by the flood when there is so much destruction all around you. I can imagine it is also a difficult position to be in. The details you included helps readers "see" what is going on. The photos also help out! Did you take them? If you were to go back and revise the post, where would you add paragraph breaks? Are there any grammatical changes you would make?
