Last week,热镀锌丝, the Ministry of Culture issued an open invitation to members of the public to submit personal photos taken of the floods for possible display at an exhibition to be staged from December 8 to 30 on the 9th floor of Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC), and from December 11 to 15 at the Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Tourism Complex in the Old City Hall in Ayutthaya.
Entitled Water+Empathy 2011, the show is being organised in tandem with the Royal Photographic Society of Thailand, the BACC,钢格板, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and the Tourism Authority of Thailand. Its aim is three-fold: to amass a pictorial record of the national disaster; to highlight the indomitable spirit of Thai people as they coped with the floods and extended a helping hand to others who needed it; and to raise funds to allow the Fine Arts Department to restore sites of historic significance which have been inundated.
HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn will be contributing some pictures she took while touring flooded areas. Photographs chosen for the exhibition will also be displayed online (visit www.bigcamera.co.th/Water+Empathy2011).

Meanwhile,焊接网, workers of flooded factories especially in Ayutthaya and Pathum Thani province are concerned about their job security because they wonder if their employers can resume running their businesses. However, authorities expect the flood impact on employment to be short-lived.
The Social Security Fund has decided to cut the contributions of flood-affected employers and workers to the fund and lend money at low fixed interest rates to struggling business operators next year.
The Labour Ministry will seek cabinet approval for it to issue regulations detailing the assistance under the scheme, Mr Somkiat said.

Production halts have also taken place at industrial estates that face flood risks in Bangkok. The situation affects about 380,000 workers in the three provinces. The flooding this year also affected 600,000 foreign workers in deluge-hit provinces as a whole.

The government will maintain its contribution to the fund at the equivalent of 2.75% of employees' salaries.
As they are ineligible to receive relief bags, the workers do not have enough food to eat while their salaries were cut during the flooding.
The SSF will also provide loans worth 10 billion baht to boost the liquidity of flood-affected business operators.
The Office of the National Economic and Social Development Board said medium- and large-scale industries in Ayutthaya and Pathum Thani have suspended production since Oct 8. They make high-technology products, automobiles and electronic products.
