Kaem Ling
Kaem Ling ('monkey cheeks') (Thai: แก้มลิง) is a flood control measure based on the vision of King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. The idea stems from his observation that monkeys store bananas in their cheeks, conserving them to eat later. He applied this concept to the problem of flooding in Bangkok. Storing excess water in north Thailand would slows its progress towards Bangkok and allow it to be used when rainfall slackened. The monkey cheeks concept was the inspiration for the design of Chulalongkorn University's Centenary Park by Kotchakorn Voraakhom.
