The Irrigation Department is releasing 1,700 cubic metres per second from Chao Phraya Dam and may increase it. Canals west and east of the river are near full capacity. Farmers on both banks are asked to harvest quickly to clear space for floodwater. For Bangkok and vicinity, watch three factors: local rain, upstream water, and high tide. The ministry expects rainfall to ease from 27 September 2026. If your premises, stock or deliveries are in low-lying or riverside areas, plan for disruption until then.
