That was when he remarked that he would order the dredging of the Trang River as an urgent project. Residents attended the prime minister's speech at Princess Chulabhorn's College on the outskirts of the province's main town. Within hours, parts of the main town and its suburbs were as much as two metres underwater. That seems to say that while there were promises, no actual plans have ever existed to dredge the Trang River. But despite the promises made almost three years ago, there is really no sign of a national water management plan.
