Flood and Water Management: Case Studies in Thai History: What Lesson that We Should Learn?

Thai historical water management offers sustainable lessons for modern flood resilience. The study highlights how ancient Thai cities—including Ayutthaya, Sukhothai, and Wiang Kum Kam—integrated waterways into their urban planning for defense, transportation, and agriculture. These strategies, rooted in indigenous knowledge, demonstrate adaptive solutions that could inform climate change mitigation today. The research synthesizes historical records and expert insights to identify best practices, emphasizing the need to blend traditional wisdom with contemporary technology for future sustainability.
