Ratchaburi municipality has ordered schools and childcare centres closed for the week and told riverside communities to move belongings, valuables and vehicles to high ground or municipal safe parking. The Mae Klong Dam raised discharge to 1,900 cubic metres per second, heading to 2,500, and the 1,500 critical level has already been exceeded. Samut Songkhram is building sandbag barriers, and high Gulf tides may worsen the flood. If your shop, warehouse or workshop sits near the Mae Klong in Ratchaburi or Samut Songkhram, move stock and vehicles now and plan for disrupted deliveries and staff absence this week.
