Millions Affected Across Thailand

Thailand is facing a major flooding crisis after weeks of heavy rainfall. The latest figures from the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation show that flooding is affecting more than 3.35 million people across 30 provinces and Bangkok.

The situation has placed major pressure on communities, roads and essential infrastructure. While water levels are falling in some northern areas, flooding remains serious across parts of central and eastern Thailand.

Bangkok Faces a Major Test

Bangkok has been among the hardest-hit areas. Heavy rainfall overwhelmed parts of the city's drainage network, causing flooding across several districts.

Drainage Systems Under Pressure

Authorities are continuing to pump and drain water while monitoring rivers and canals. The government has also ordered agencies to coordinate their response and prepare for another period of heavy rain expected around October 4–5.

Economic Impact Growing

The flooding is also disrupting transportation, businesses and daily life. Bangkok has begun large-scale cleanup operations as authorities work to restore roads and public areas.

The Flood Emergency Continues

Although conditions are improving in some areas, the flood situation remains serious. Authorities continue relief operations while monitoring rainfall and water levels across the country.
