Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) -- The death toll from Thailand's worst flooding in half a century reached 506 Sunday as floodwaters inched toward downtown Bangkok, the interior ministry said.
By Sunday, authorities had ordered evacuations for residents in 11 of Bangkok's 50 districts.
As water crept closer to the city's central business area, Chaiwat Rattanawitthayapol shopped for water pumps and sandbags to protect his home.
"I don't know what the government is doing," he said. "They promised that water would be diverted to the east and west. ... Why is water coming closer and closer to central part? I don't see any improvement."
At the sprawling, 27-acre Chatuchak Weekend Market, only about 10 percent of booths were open. Some reduced prices to draw shoppers.
"There are a lot less people (who came) today. ... People are afraid of flooding," one shop owner told CNN.
Meanwhile, Arun Sricharoon, the market's director, kept a close eye on the approaching waters. A 2-foot (60-centimeter) wall around the market should help prevent flooding, he said.
"I think the wall is still able to handle the flood," he said. "But if water spills into the market, and if it affects the safety of shop owners, then we will announce the (market's) closure."
Across the country, the flooding -- now in its third month -- has affected 25 of Thailand's 64 provinces.
In the provinces of Nakhon Sawan and Ayutthaya, cleanup efforts were under way.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra visited Nakhon Sawan, which was inundated more than a month ago.
She vowed to continue government efforts to fight flooding, the MCOT news agency reported, and said the province would be a national model for rehabilitation.
Floods are an annual occurrence in the country but have been particularly acute this year, and some residents and analysts have criticized the government's response.
"Now the government is sending a mixed signal that the situation is fine, but the truth is it the situation far from over," political analyst Supong Limtanakul told CNN. "It is a slow suffocating death of Bangkok business area."
The city's main airport and two large industrial sites are also at risk, he said.
Supong said the government did not have enough resources to deal with floodwaters, noting that officials had recently asked the private sector for water pumps to help drain water out of Bangkok.
Bangkok's central business district was still dry, but other parts of the bustling metropolis of 12 million people were flooded.
Sukhumbhand Paribatra, Bangkok's governor, told MCOT that it may take up to two weeks to drain water out of Bangkok's main roads, and months to drain water from smaller roads.

I think the Thai government is messing around with the Thai community in Bangkok. They don't really know what's going on because they want the Thai's to suffer some more, especially those Thai living in slum along the Chao Phraya river.

Also the "Dam" on the Chao Phraya is being release more then it is being slowly flowed out of the other side of the dam. Which is why the flooding is still raising.

But in the end, it was the Siamese work for killing off their own people just so they can build up more nationalist ego later. Thai kill Thai for their own greed and ignorance. But then again, the Thai are blinded by face and social structure.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....LOL

oh my, Karma is a b!tch.

The Thais lost their heart and mind along time ago. Now they they must suffer such karma that lies ahead of them. Every single one of politician and historian are guilty. The more death their are. The more it will attract evil spirit that wonders this land for century. It's own dimension has force many old spirit to raise once again especially those that dies along the Canals. The wind is their voice and their calling of suffering and pain.

^wow, that was simply poetic. If I had a pussy it would be wet right now.

But anyways, it was vision by the famous monk in Thailand Luangta Maha Bua. He has warn his fellow Thai about their face and their path for a very long time. But it seem that the Thai just ignore his vision and faith. But he is watching and listening if every single Thai actually making a good choice for the next's generation.

Also I must warn you Thai about Phaya Nak or Naga she is very angry and wants revenge since the day Viengchan were burnt down by the Siamese. Those that has the gene of a Siamese she wants to put karma on these people. ViengChan was her home and her spirit since the birth of the new world order. She has awaken till this day and it is her warning for the future and revenge.


"The destiny is only decided by the action of their fellow Thais and their action."

Bangkok is curse by Naga spirit. She has more to come in the future and it won't be so easy the next's time.

Both you Lao and dumbass Khmer are retarded.

If its anything to do with the powers that be then its obviously in retaliation of the Peua Thai party being in power. The spirits of our ancestors do not like them

The king had warned of the flooding and told the government how to prevent it in 2538, almost 20 years ago! do any of these fu-ktards listen? no.

And if remember correctly, there was a minor flood in Cambodia recently killing 168 people... that was a minor flood. What happened there? the red cross and Oxfam had to step up and sort you incompetent retards out. Guess them Nagas are unhappy with idiot Khmers too I take it

Thailand will be able to rebuild. Even being heavily flooded it is still a better place to be then Cambodia or Laos just ask your millions of people who choose to stay in Thailand with the flood then go back to your $hitty countries. Ok thanks bye

Bangkok is pretty much another sin city.
