The Great Mop Up - drying out Thailand after the floods - Sept 21

- It’s been a wet 10 days or so, in many parts of Thailand. It’s also the typhoon season for the north pacific and much of the rain and storms is a side effect of the typhoons as they sweep through the South China Sea and then track into Thailand, sucking in moisture from the Indian Ocean across the country. Today we look at the many efforts to mop up the mess.
Tim Newton Today is daily news commentary about Thai and the region, including issues of interest to expats and travellers to Thailand.

Hi Tim many thanks for the update on the current situation on many parts of Thailand.
QUESTION: Tim, has any of your viewers ever taken a Snooker or Pool cue, onboard a plane flight to Thailand. My cue is a two piece, but still too long to go into my suitcase. I have read ‘bubble wrap’ it, and put in as extra luggage, any suggestions please guys? Much appreciate any help or advice 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m sure you won’t have any trouble. Bubble wrap the package and they’ll put it in the baggage area
A winibbego is certainly not an RV and never has been! It’s a CA that’s a camper van. Any fool not understand?
Yes. I’m the fool that doesn’t understand
@@timnewtontodayme too… aren’t they all motorhomes?
Whatever. I really couldn’t care less. I figure people knew what O was talking about.
@@timnewtontoday sorry Tim I was not referring to you. An RV is a recreational vehicle, ie a jeep or off roader. A vehicle that is fun off road. A winibbego is a camper van or motor home, a vehicle that’s good to sleep in and travel long distance on main roads.
@@timnewtontoday surely not Tim?
Where are you American orientated on the dollar we are not all American
It’s the default international currency, particularly around SE Asia. No one uses pounds aroundnSE Asia
... the very big majority of the viewers here is
Tim, will the new show ‘ALIVE AND KICKING’ have the Simple Minds big hit, as the theme tune! 🤔🙏🏻🙏🏻
No. It actually refers to much earlier use in an old film.
hey Tim, what is Steve's second channel, it is not mentioned on the one I subscribe to, nor does anything come up searching by his name... thanks mate!
Beachcombing on Turtle Beach
@@BoninBrighton thanks!!!
QUESTION: Tim, did you ever do a video telling the whole story about that property you leased to improve and open, that may had been a hotel at one time? The deal didn't quite work out and you moved on. My wife was wondering if you ever told the whole story. A link would be nice if the story exists.
Wonderful job living waters doing. Thanks 2 shaun and co. Helping these people when most needed
Coming to Thailand in middle of October my my long suffering Thai girlfriend is looking for accommodation for me in near pathum Thani great show Tim
I rented my property from facebook! Never looked back! Perfect place! 😮
The property isn’t the problem. It’s the usage of Facebook these days for multiple scams
Shanana Tim
There infrastructure is not sustainable to the weather conditions they get! Always said it! Being an engineer myself! Poor quality of work has always let Thailand down! Money is always a factor! But the country has 1 of the richest monarchy in history! 😅
You can call them a Winnebago just as you can call tissue paper Kleenex
But a Winnebago carries people! Tissues just collect Crap!
อุตรดิตถ์, listen how Thai pronounce Uttaradit? I have been there !
Never been there but Pattaya still has Texas Chicken.
All closing this month
@@timnewtontoday ah ok. Won't miss it. Too much great food around me in the various night markets on Jomtien Beach Road.
CAD = Canadian Dollars
Any footage of feral rainfall would be appreciated 🎉
all on youtube.
@@StephenMaher-w7q we want more
it's a euphemism
What happens if you sign a 6 or 12 month rental but want to leave before contract end
... I got out of a contract more early and got rent back. All a question of friendliness and generosity
Thai Baht- good time to send a few million Baht back to America
Tim, ever been to the bar in khao lak called Acoustic? the owner is a world class guitar player and is awesome. his daughters get into the show too, and are cool... highly recommend this bar!
I’ll check it out
Has your beach sand eroded northwards or southwards? Where is it going? Someone will benefit.
I lived in the Hatteras North Carolina and sand does move around a lot
Love it when you at cafe. Gives different feel to show
Hello, Tim... I approve of this shirt. 🙂 I was there last November and the dollar was great... Holy Toledo... I should go there soon if I can(!). I can afford to take all my friends out for dinner! 😛
Another great show Tim, thanks mate 😊
My budget is based on the US dollar 💵 being worth 35 baht or so. At this rate I may have to rethink my situation. 32 is just too low
It could be at the rate again in 2 months. Who knows!? Anyone who says they do are either extremely rich (so wouldn’t be watching me), a soothsayer, or lying.
Yes rethinking spending can create a happier life, less spending on non essentials maybe?
Sorry that I missed the show. Thanks you for your great work and good advices. Happy weekend all !!! ❤🤍💙🤍❤
I hope that things are going well Alfa Bravo. Any status update from ReRead? His insightful comments on livestreams have been missed.
@@scottDchicago ... Thank you Scott. I worry about ReRead. No lifesign yet.
@@_Alfa.Bravo_ Thanks for the update. I hope that ReRead is okay.
Think about the the English pound
GBP= British Pound
I think about it every day!
Chinese tea is often awesome, it does NOT need sugar.
Nor does any tea!
... tea is medicine, lowers blood pressure
@@_Alfa.Bravo_ No shit?
@@rocket5551 ... as long as no milk is added
@@_Alfa.Bravo_ Now you tell me!
Hi Tim, DO NOT ride your Wave (I have the same) with flipflops The smallest accident and your feet will look like dogs vomit. I wear trainers (with socks!!!), not the best but at least some protection, and might keep the bits together. Cheers.
Dry and massively cloudy, huge dirty dark grey & light grey clouds here. Rain is coming sometime today.
Tropical storms! Houses built by the sea! And on mountains! Surely building these infrastructures should be built with all these factors 😅😊😮😢😂 but this is why western society is strong! We have a different outlook on these factors! Welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭 😅
Please start going to the temple everyday and ask Buddha to stop the rain for the next 2 weeks as I arrive Tuesday thanks lol
What can we get from this new government? More confusion!
Many mushrooms are triggered by fire residues after fires plus rains. In Europe, the edible Horn of Plenty mushroom is an example.
🙏Tim is knowing what he speaks about here, about scam and bad deal on the property business 🙈
Yes, that coal pizza oven looks very impressiv in "Little Italy" restaurant on highway no.4 near Khao Lak. Thank you!
Hans C. Schellenberg is fine and would be happy, if he could get unblocked on this Channel
That’s extremely unlikely.
Hi! Tim...😊😊😊😊
Another great show. Thank you Tim.
Today in Sri Lanka we have a General Election, let's hope everyone will behave and respect the result peacefully.
@Frank in Phillipines + @ScottD .... sorry, but ReRead hasn't ansered the mail, yet
£1= 43.87 Baht today
If you can get that take it quickly
@@rocket5551I load my WISE card periodically when the rate is good.
Thanks as usual for everything you do 🙏
PS. If you wipe down then camera you won’t have these lines around the lights in background 😅
I actually wiped it a few times and the ‘lines’ just went in different directions. Everything is ‘moist’ at the beach at the moment. SO humid!! Floors, walls, everything. So if I had a fan on the screen and wiped it down with some meth or alcohol, it would have been fine. Sorry if it bothers you.
@@timnewtontoday haha no worries, thanks 🙏
Cool shirt!
as always ... cool Tim
Property Developer People build on floodplains all the time, it is really stupid, but those who build in unsuitable places con others who know less about the dangers into buying these properties

Standing ovation to Shaun Stenning and the 5 Star Marine team for their longtime, consistent, and caring efforts: 16:55.
