BMAâs solution on flood problem in Bangkok
published : 27 Apr 2021 at 17:44
Flood problem in Bangkok can be occurred in many areas owing to:
• The increasing number of large buildings that discharged a large volume of wastewater;
• The increase of the size of drain pipe or additional network of drain pipes which is uneasy to make it compatible with the draining of water;
• The surfaces that are mostly changed from soil to concrete;
• Physical characteristics of Bangkok which is a low-lying terrain similar to a basin; and
• The ongoing sinking or land subsidence, year by year, that is threatening the city.

Beach
Location
Meliá Koh Samui is located only 15 minutes from the airport on Choeng Mon Beach, a series of bays on the northeastern tip of the island, close to Chaweng. The property is more upscale than the neighbouring Big Buddha beach, and while its pristine white sands are a tranquil home for a few other three- to five-star resorts, the beach is very quiet for guests.
Rooms
Dotting the property are iconic 100-year-old teakwood barges, a throwback to Thailand’s maritime heritage when golden teakwood barges sailed the Chao Phraya River with their cargoes, mainly rice. In the 1990s, when Samui had reached its peak as a tourist destination, the antique barges were bought and towed to Choeng Mon Beach and transformed into the Imperial Boat House Samui resort, before it was renovated and reopened as Meliá Koh Samui in January 2020.
