Whoever ruled out 2017 flood disaster must have hotline to God

To be able to categorically rule out any chance of flooding similar to 2011, I assume someone at the meteorological office has a direct hotline to God. How else could they possibly know how much rain is or isn’t going to fall over the next few months?
I wonder if anyone takes any of the stupid predictions from the government seriously.

Why the government – why not the Meteorological Office? And is the Thai Met Office so different from the Met Office in any other country? Or did you just want to find an excuse to bash the government.

If memory serves me right the 2011 flooding didn’t really get going until much later in the year. It had hardly rained in May 2011.
My interpretation of the statement from the Meteorological Department is that there is unlikely to be any serious flooding on a par with what happened in 2011 for the next week or so.
I do find it a little amusing that the flooding that has occurred already in Bangkok is put down to antiquated draiange systems that are clogged with rubbish, as if that in itself is an act of God. Systems normal, don’t do any remedial work or maintenance until absolutely forced to.
