The PM ordered a 2-hour emergency review of flooding in Bangkok and surrounding provinces (published 26 Sep 2026). Governors must stay in their areas, and one official flood information channel will be used. The PM has approved expanding the flood budget, and work-from-home may be allowed if funds are insufficient. Heavy rain of about 200-300 mm a day is cited; the Meteorological Department says rain will ease today and move out of Bangkok toward Kanchanaburi. For SMEs in low-lying Bangkok and nearby areas: plan for possible disruption to staff commuting and deliveries this week, and watch official announcements rather than rumours.
