Yes, it's floods in plural form.
Monsoon rains and high tide caused extensive flooding in Thailand. Many provinces are already underwater and we, in Bangkok, are not yet safe. In fact, many areas in Bangkok are already flooded.
I admit, I'm hooked watching the news on TV and on the internet these days. It's more than just curiosity. I need to know what's going on in my host country, especially so around the city where I live. And it looks like one area after another is inundated and it's getting closer to ours.
There are many sad stories that are yet to be written and figures of loses to be reported. Thailand needs your prayers now.
Just in case you didn't hear the news yet, here are images I randomly picked from the internet. You will find more details if you clicked on the link under each photo.

One thing you may want to note in these photos is the CALMNESS amid calamity. Life goes on and you don't see much negative emotions. That is very Thai.
