Water and flooding mean life and way of living to them and be part of their culture through time. The paper consists of four main sections which are 1) introduction of water culture in Thailand; 2) lesson learnt from three historic water-based cities (Sukhothai, Wiang Kum Kam and Ayutthaya); 3) discussion on flooding circumstance; and 4) a conclusion. This paper aims to present lesson learnt and good practice in how Thais live with water and flood. This research was mainly collected by relevant studies either written or pictorial documents from the authour and his research colleagues who are Supajanya and Sumet Jumsai, the two well-known geologist and architect as well as cultural related to water experts. Water-based contexts in this paper are presented since Thavaravadee era since it has reflected how water-based people were. By learning how Thais lived with water in the past show constructive ways of living by the water networks for various advantages (defensive strategic city, transportation, agriculture, etc.) . Further applications between indigenous knowledge with appropriate technology for living with flood should be promoted in Thailand for coping with climate change as global challengesand for achieving future sustainability.  \nKeywords: Flood, Water Management, Thai History  \nINTRODUCTION:  \nThailand and Its Water Culture  \nFor many thousands of years people who lived in the area called ‘Thailand’ had been settled along waterways and estuaries. Water and flooding became a way of life to them and became part of their culture over time. Tiva Supajanya, a geologist, and Sumet Jumsai, an architect, examined culture related to water and agreed that the ancient settlements in the central plain of the Chao Phraya River were located in areas that comprised water courses that provided convenient access to the sea and suitable land for agriculture. Those man-made canals linked some ancient settlements, allowing for trade and other contact. The waterways were used as a means of transport.  \nFigure 1: Maps of Thailand Central Plain area.

Ph.D., Society for the Conservation of National Treasure and Environment (SCONTE)  \n* Email: [johnshinawatra@gmail.com](johnshinawatra@gmail.com)  \nReceived: 9/11/2020; Revised: 20/12/2020; Accepted: 23/12/2020  \nThis local knowledge had been applied until Ayutthaya and early Rattanakosin periods. The best example is Inburi, an ancient water-based city, of the Thavaravadee age. It was found 40 years ago in Singha buri province based on aerial photographs comparative analysis and field survey conducted by Tiva Suppajanya (Figure 1) .  \nFigure 2: Bang Li, Supanburi and Tha Kanon, Suratthani. (Source: Sumet Jumsai. 1997. NAGA: Cultural Origins in Siam and the West Pacific. p. 99,158)  \nThe old aerial photographs show the trace of a waterway network surrounding 20-30 small water-based settlements. We can say that people who lived in this area since the Thavaravadee era were also water-based people; as they learned how to live harmony with water.  \nAdaptability to Live with Water in the Past  \nIt has been said that one of the best abilities of Thai people in their way of life is their ability to develop and adapt their home environments to the presence of water, such as building their houses on stilts or having floating homes built on rafts. The key issue is“not against water” (Shinawatra, 2002: 243) . Traditional houses built on stilts or rafts can be seen in Bang Li, Suphanburi or Tha Kanon in Suratthani provinces in the old day.
