Thailand's Floods

As most of you know Thailand was flooded from July to December.  Out of 76 provinces 56 of them where affected.  The Dam we went to see in Tak was part of the reason the flooding in Bangkok was so severe.  Since the water level was increasing beyond the Dam's capacity they had to release more water than usual to make sure that it didn't overflow.  During our visit to Chiang Mai we drove to SanKampaeng which is about thirty minutes out of town.  Along the way we passed fields that were still affected by the floods.  Other than a few fields and the road conditions, everything looks like it's pretty much back to normal.  This is just from what I have seen with the naked eye.
