Deputy PM Ekniti says central Thailand can still manage water levels. More rain is expected 25–27 September 2026. Each region has 100 million baht in emergency reserves, and the governor will use a committee to release funds if needed. If rainfall exceeds 1,500 cubic metres, water will be diverted into branch canals. Officials have asked provinces to prepare evacuation plans and checklists and to tell residents what to prepare now. For SMEs in Chao Phraya, Tha Chin and Mae Klong basins, this is a reason to check flood-proofing of stock and premises and plan for possible access disruption during 25–27 September.
