Bangkok rice farmer furious with BMA for ‘flooding’ his field
A farmer in Bangkok’s Nong Chok district posted a video clip attacking the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) for allegedly releasing water into his rice fields.
Dacha Nutalai, vice president of the Thai Agriculturist Association, made the video clip on Friday from his rice field where the water had reached his waist.
He said Nong Chok had been hit with heavy rain but accused the BMA of making things worst by releasing water into his farm, especially when his crop was getting ready for harvest.
Dacha said this situation is worse than it was during the big floods of 2011 and called on the BMA to come up with a better solution as he could not harvest his rice.
Meanwhile, according to the weather forecast on Saturday morning, rain clouds are moving towards the Northeast from Bangkok’s Klong Sam Wa, Min Buri and Nong Chok districts.
