Thailand hosts the 2026 IMF and World Bank Group annual meetings (AM2026). The Finance Ministry says the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, 21 hotels and the airport-to-venue route had no standing floodwater, and that the city has drainage plans and trigger points for heavy rain. Forecast: heavy rain and storms on 10-11 Oct (30-50 mm, short bursts), easing 12-16 Oct. For a Bangkok SME, expect possible disruption to traffic and deliveries around 10-11 Oct, and check your own flood contingency plan for those days.
