I woke up in the middle of the night, hearing a blaring alarm that echoed throughout my entire village. It was an evacuation warning. As I rummaged through my things and drowsily stuffed in my clothes, I looked out my window and realized my entire soi was flooded. Although moving all my seventeen dogs and thirteen cats had been the highlight of my break, it was befuddling to witness the engulfment of the place I call home. Correction: The place I "called" home. As anyone can attest, the flood event is a traumatizing ground breaking experience for Thailand. Not only does it tests the new government's ability to handle issues concerning natural disaster, it also challenges the nation and its people as a whole. I chose this picture because it signifies the integrity of Thai people. Prior to the flood, Thai people had been amidst of political instability and conflict. However, according to my opinion, the unfortunate event that had reaped away the lives of many significant other is in fact an impetus that propels Thailand toward its hopefully eventual congruity.
