Check out at the hotel "Four Wings Hotel" on the first night, and follow the leader to Bangkok Airport. The original itinerary stated "Visit Bangkok Airport" until we arrived at the center of Bangkok Airport. Visit the station to let everyone know how Bangkok Airport prevented this flood.
Bangkok Airport (Suvarnabhumi Airport) used to be the largest throughput airport in Southeast Asia. Many long-haul flights were transshipped here in Bangkok, so the accompanying commentator stated that Bangkok Airport is one of the most important places to keep in any case. For this reason, they also asked To Japanese technicians, to survey the site and assist in flood control.There are also viaducts around Bangkok Airport and parking lots inside the airport for people to park their cars. There are also police on the spot to control them.
How to protect the airport from flooding? (If it is really flooded one day! I mean "if")
The Thai government has designed flood control channels in the hinterland around the airport. The channels are 24 kilometers in length and 3.5 meters in height. They are ditch after channel. Assuming that the flood of channel A is soaring, channel B and channel C will take over to prevent congestion. In addition, a pumping station is also set up in the hinterland of the airport. The station contains four large pumping motors with a pumping capacity of approximately 12 cubic meters per second and a daily pumping capacity of 1 million cubic meters.It was only because of the invitation of the Tourism Authority of Thailand that I had the opportunity to enter this control area. I saw the operation status of this pumping station and drained the water from the flooded area to other ditches. Fortunately, Thailand entered the dry season recently and was able to get it as soon as possible. The bad water is pumped away from home.
After this departure, I also continued to pay attention to how the Thai government is dealing with the current floods. According to the media, "140 water pumps ordered by the Ministry of Energy from China and 120 water pumps donated by Japan have been shipped to Thailand one after another. It is expected to be available on the 20th of this month. It is officially used in the drainage of industrial areas. The daily drainage capacity will exceed 100 million cubic meters. If the original pumps in the industrial area are added, it is believed that the water in the industrial area will be completely discharged within 10 days."

The main reason is that the industrial areas outside Bangkok are indeed affected by the floods. In addition, it is not surprising that factories in various countries should be prioritized. I hope everything goes well!Finally, through some sharing of my own, let everyone know the current situation of Thailand airport. Really everything is still safe. If you have the latest situation, you are welcome to join my fan group. As long as you have the Internet or any information, you will be there. The above reminds everyone!
▲ Prepare to leave the hotel and head to the center of Bangkok Airport.
▲ The Bangkok Airport Express is not affected by flooding and is operating normally.
▲ The government provides surrounding viaducts for people to park their cars.
▲ Arrive at the center of Bangkok Airport, which is a restricted area.
▲ According to the airport center staff, this means that the current water depth exceeds 4,000 meters.
▲ Pumping station!
▲ Around the airport.
Once again, I wish Thailand an early escape from the flood.
