Chao Phraya releases were raised to about 1,750 cubic metres per second, and water has already overtopped riverbanks outside the flood walls in six Ayutthaya districts: Sena, Phak Hai, BangBan, Bang Sai, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya and Bang Pa-in. About 5,030 households are affected. Officials warn water may rise another 70-90 cm, so shops and workshops in these districts or along the river should move stock, equipment and vehicles to higher ground, and watch official alerts and evacuation-centre announcements.
