Deputy PM Yodchanan Wongsawat inspected the Pak Khlong Rangsit semi-permanent pump station and ordered faster drainage to relieve flooding in Pathum Thani (Thanyaburi, Khlong Luang, Lam Luk Ka) and northern Bangkok. The station runs 20 pumps with up to 120 cubic metres per second capacity, currently at 78 m3/s, with a planned peak of 90 m3/s. Agencies in the north were told to prepare for more rain over the next 1-2 days. For businesses in these areas: check flood-prone stock and equipment, and plan access routes, since flooding and road disruption may follow.
