His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great is widely recognized as one of the hardest working monarchs in the world. He has devoted both his strength and wisdom to the development of the country throughout the last half century. As a result, none of his people's problems have been ignored as their obstacles have also become his.The heavy floods that hit Thailand between July and October last year (1995) brought about extensive damage and caused great hardship affecting many of his people. His Majesty subsequently advised numerous authorities on how to effectively deal with floods. He also offered them assistance in all forms through the Chaipattana Foundation and the detrimental consequences of the flood waters were greatly eased.
Apart from helping solve the immediate flood problems His Majesty has, since 1980, also offered countless suggestions on how to prevent flooding in the Bangkok area. After last year's incidence, much of the talking has been replaced by action. His Majesty has used modern imformation technology in many of his current prevention plans and he recently said, "If the flood prevention scheme is carried out within the next three years, Bangkok will no longer be affected by floods. The scheme should be implemented along the two banks of Chao Phraya River."
More than ever, His Majesty the King is concerned with the flood preventative measures taking place Bangkok. He has instructed the Royal Irrigation Department to build a large water detention pond covering an area of ten square kilometres and capable of containing twenty million cubic metres of water. This pond, situated near the sea, will store any floodwaters from the natural watereays. A new canal is to be dug and a flood gate will be built to allow excess water to drain into the sea. However, during periods of high tide, the flood gate will prevent sea water from inundating the land.
This royally-Initiated Water Detention Project is commonly referred to as the 'Kaem Ling Project' which literally means 'Monkeys's Cheeks.' The scheme got its name from what His Majesty observed as a boy. On one of his numerous trips he encountered a monkey munching food. The chimp then stored it in his cheeks rather than swallowing the entity whole.
The prominent architect Dr Sumet Xumsai commented on the Kaem Ling Project by saying that it was based on the concept of allowing nature to help humans.
This royally-initiated project once again reflects His Majesty King's wide vision and manifold talents as well as his benevolence towards his subjects. It is a great merit for the people of Thailand to be under the reign of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great.
