Nowadays, even though authorities consider that Bangkok is dry and the worst has already happened, it seems that the floods still threaten seven districts out of 50. People's households are still in danger and most of the inhabitants from those areas have already been evacuated.

Officials seem to be able to provide effective solutions for this national issue. They have come up with the idea of introducing a special holiday, in 21 regions, between 27 and 31 October.

Despite the fact that the fate of financial markets and commercial banks hasn't been established yet, the representatives are looking for efficient ways of fighting this crisis.

Known for its ability to attract tourists coming from all across the Globe, Thailand will most likely manage to turn this new Flood Holiday into a moment of joy.

Since July, Floods in Thailand are responsible for 366 deaths, according to authorities, and continues to influence the country's balance, after one airline company decided to cancel its flights, due to the fact that the water managed to get inside the airport. Nok Air has decided to cancel all its flights at Don Muang airport until 1 November, according to The Guardian.

As we speak, officials can't seem to estimate the quantity of water which has entered the airport. Despite this situation, it appears that most companies still manage to keep their flights on the schedule.

Nok Air seems to think that the present situation puts the safety of its passengers in danger and therefore officials have taken into consideration the possibility of offering compensations to their clients for this potential discomfort.

Until the problem is solved, all the company's flights will be redirected to Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport.

Nok Air considers that diverting the flights represents the best option in the present context, "because water has entered the north side of the airport already,” as Patee Sarasin, the company's CEO stated.
