Bangkok Floods Displace Many Residents
Heavy rains exceeding 330 mm caused widespread flooding in Bangkok, resulting in the evacuation of approximately 4,900 people and affecting 52,000 households. Residential areas, markets, and main roads were submerged under water. The floods prompted the declaration of a disaster situation and the deployment of more than 10,000 soldiers to assist relief efforts. Hundreds of schools were closed, and residents had to stay in shelter centers or their water-logged homes for over 30 hours. Authorities anticipate that rainfall will continue, with a expected decrease after Monday, leading to loss of lives and disruptions to daily life in the city.
