BMA says it has not cancelled flood retention ponds. It has 38 ponds holding about 13.7 million cubic metres, with 7 more due by 2570 (2027), 4 of them in 2569 (2026). Two eastern-Bangkok projects (Khlong Khu Bon and Khlong Bang Chan) were dropped after cost and public-hearing problems. For a Bangkok SME, the practical point is flood risk in the east and the north: check whether your site sits near a planned pond or drainage canal, and keep flood-season stock and access plans in place.
