Heavy Rain Causes Flooding, Traffic Disruptions, and Evacuations in Bangkok
Continuous heavy rainfall in Bangkok from Thursday to Saturday caused widespread flooding, disrupting traffic and prompting evacuations. Major canals overflowed with over 20 centimeters of rain, affecting more than 84,000 people across 21 provinces, mainly in central Thailand. Authorities issued emergency warnings and established shelters. The Meteorological Department forecasts persistent rain through Sunday due to a strong low-pressure system and monsoon conditions. Bangkok officials are working to drain floodwaters, expecting receding floods once the rain subsides.
