		<description><![CDATA[ Here is a roundup of news on the floods from newspapers in Thailand , news wires and websites on Thursday, Nov. 10, 2011. The Wall Street Journal hasn’t verified these stories and doesn’t vouch for their accuracy. Bang Chan Industrial Estate faces severe inundation : Bang Chan Industrial Estate is under serious pressure from rising floods, with factories advised to raise machinery from floor level to prevent damage. Yongyuth Thongsuk, deputy permanent-secretary of the Industry Ministry, said yesterday the estate was operating under Stage 1 of a three-stage emergency plan, after water in the Saen Saeb Canal went a meter above normal levels. The second stage will be triggered if the Saen Saeb Canal goes 1.3m above normal, when factories will be told to prepare for evacuation. If the water level goes 1.4m above normal, factories will be warned to evacuate. (Source: The Nation) Capital could be dry in 11 days : Bangkok could be drained of water in 11 days, says the Irrigation Department, presenting good news to an anxious city for the first time since northern floodwaters entered the capital. Nearly half of the northern runoff which has devastated farmland and industrial estates and flooded parts of the capital has now flowed into the sea and the rest will be drained out soon, it said yesterday. (Source: Bangkok Post) Police eye bad flood spots, lawbreakers : Tightening up control in flood-threatened areas, police yesterday warned that people using road spikes to stop vehicles helping flood victims could face severe punishment. Traffic Police and Highway Police were also to inform the public which routes motorists could use, to prevent traffic congestion. (Source: The Nation) Floods cost ThaiBev billions : Floods have cost Thai Beverage Plc (ThaiBev), the country’s leading beer and spirits maker, several billion baht, the biggest financial loss for whisky billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi in more than a decade. The damage comes from three areas: tangible assets, loss of business continuity and loss of new business opportunities both at home and abroad. Five factories in Ayutthaya province will take at least a year to restore. (Source: Bangkok Post) Toyota eyes fast restart : Toyota Motor Corp will delay resuming operations in Thailand for 10 days, starting up Nov 21, says Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota. ”We will try to start production as soon as possible, possibly on the 21st of this month, and then slowly increase our production capacity,” said Mr Toyoda.
