Recent petty incident has sparkled some thought in me that individual is being bothered by minor occurance; While the international communities by and large were equally slow in organising relief effort & virtually ignored the suffering of the Thais!
According to the news from various news agency to date:
The Thailand floods 2011, the worst in 5 decades, began in
August in areas directly north of the Bangkok city and have slowly crawled south toward the Gulf of Thailand since then.
The death toll in nationwide flooding is
317, mostly from drowning, with nearly
9 million people affected and
27 of the countries 77 provinces still inundated. Initial estimates of the economic cost of destroyed shops, paralyzed factories and swamped farmland were $3 billion, but have since been rising.
The ASEAN-Emergency Rapid Assessment Team (ERAT) was dispatched to Thailand on
Saturday, 15 October,
to assess flood-affected areas. The five-man ERAT team from Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, only to observe the arrangement of relief goods distribution and monitored the floodwater diversion!
................. Why standby to assess? Really need action lah, moron 
The
United Nations today (
18 Oct 2011) voiced deep concern over the devastating floods in Thailand. Elisabeth Byrs, spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) told reporters in Geneva that a UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team was
on standby to deploy in the stricken countries if requested.
.............. is that a joke? I just cant comprehend that! 
And the saddest news is some people even had the luxurious spare time to attend an extravagant exhibition, while fully aware of the natural tragedy that his fellow countrymen are suffering
May god bless the Thais to bravely overcome this natural disaster
