Terrible decision making made the Sakon Nakhon suffering much worse - such as the scandalous forcing of aid to be delivered by old, clapped-out boats instead of new ones in the warehouse. When I say the floods in Sakon Nakhon that led to widespread damage were not really caused by rainwater, I'm not joking. But Sakon Nakhon residents weren't warned soon enough that the Huay Sai Kamin reservoir was already full and unable to take more rainwater. But Sakon Nakhon isn't the only victim of shoddy city planning. In fact, there are more flaws in Khon Kaen's city planning, but I would rather not go into it here.
