reader Posted October 13 Posted October 13 From The Thaiger Local officials have issued a warning about potential flooding in central provinces, starting tomorrow, October 13 and lasting until October 24. Jirayu Huangsub, advisor to the prime minister, highlighted the risk for regions including Chai Nat, Ayutthaya, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Bangkok, and Samut Prakan, particularly in areas outside flood barriers. Efforts to mitigate flooding have seen the Thai Royal Irrigation Department (RID) reducing water discharge from the Chao Phraya Dam. This strategy has successfully improved conditions in Singburi and parts of Ang Thong provinces. Flood relief operations have intensified in Lamphun, focusing on areas affected by the overflow of the Ping River. Water pumps and pushers have been deployed in locations such as Ban Sob Pa and Ban Pa Phai. Officials expect full drainage by October 15. https://thethaiger.com/news/national/warning-issued-for-central-provinces-flooding-risk-from-tomorrow Quote
