Bangkok Post - Seven districts of Bangkok are at risk of flooding and people in the areas should move their belongings to higher places, Bangkok Governor Sukhmbhand Paribatra warned via his Twitter website on Wednesday morning. The seven districts are Lat Krabang, Nong Chok, Minburi, Klong Samwa, Kannayao, Saimai and Bangkhen.
MR Sukhumbhand said the flood water was heading down to these areas through the broken dyke at Khlong Rapipat. The water level could be higher than the floodwalls of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and inundate the districts.
He stressed that this warning was not a signal for an immediate evacuation as the water level would slowly rise and the local residents would have about 24 hours for preparations. The Bangkok governor said the BMA would provide information about water situation in risk areas every three hours.
