Minister Warawut reported to the cabinet that large volumes of water from the storm are moving into the Tha Chin river basin, from Kanchanaburi and Uthai Thani, plus northern flows through the Chao Phraya dam. The Royal Irrigation Department and the National Water Resources Office were ordered to forecast and plan. He proposed relaxing the 2-million-cubic-metre threshold so local governments can run retention ponds. Nothing is yet approved. If your site, stock or transport sits in Suphan Buri, Nakhon Pathom, Samut Sakhon or along the Tha Chin, check flood exposure and access routes now.
