Flooding good for companies?
Over the past 6 weeks the countryside of Thailand has been heavily flooded with several people dying, being relocated, houses being demolished. I hate to write about this but unfortunately the flooding is good for certain companies in Thailand as infrastructure and housing will have to rebuilt.
We think these 3 companies here will benefit the most from the necessary reconstruction of the roads, highways, utilities and houses.
Siam Cement Plc (SCC) – Thailand’s largest cement producer.
Diamond Roof Tiling Plc (DRT) – Thailand’s 2nd largest supplier of roof tiles upcountry.
Siam Global House Plc (GLOBAL) – Thailand’s largest upcountry retailer of housing goods, housing supplies and basic construction materials.
But I do wonder if any of the leasing companies that target the rural area will suffer higher NPL’s because of this…

Found an iphone apps that cover stats current water level, in-flow amount, release amount, maximum capacity, among other things. There is also a graph of 1-year data for each dam. This iPhone app is unfortunately only in Thai language at the moment.

It does show Thailand almost did have a small water crisis a few years ago.
