They are attempting to allay public concern about flooding and rising waters in several parts of the country. Pakorn Ataphant, executive director of the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (Gistda), said several factors make a repeat of 2011’s flooding unlikely. In 2011, there were several storms affecting Thailand, compared to the present situation in which only a few storms have arrived, he said. Economic and industrial areas will not be affected as in 2011," Mr Pakorn said.
