Now, Thailand has the
worst flood in the decade. These floods started in June really and started to
move south and have really caused huge damage the whole way down.
“They've affected hundreds and hundreds of villages and
towns, they've wiped out 2.5 million acres of farmland. This is a very, very
serious disaster." said
Matthew Cochrane, spokesperson for the International Red Cross in Bangkok.
Over half a million square kilometers -- an area the size of
Spain -- are affected by the floods in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos,
according to CNN meteorologist Jenny Harrison.
Beyond many of houses, hospital, factories
and farmland affected by these huge water, the cactus & succulent farms nears
Bangkok were flooded already. Unfortunately,
the valuable cactus & succulent were gone with water without any help as
the flood came very quickly and strongly.
The water was higher than 2-3 meters on the next day. Here are the sample of some cactus farms. To every people affected by this disaster, don't give up !
