Cabinet raised the Chao Phraya Dam release ceiling from 2,000 to 2,200 cubic metres per second, released in steps, not all at once; officials say this could lift water levels about 30 cm if fully used. Central Thailand flood-relief projects (Chai Nat-Pa Sak-Gulf of Thailand, 8 years, 2027-2034 per article) were approved, and the Bang Ban-Bang Sai drainage project's deadline was set to July 2028 (BE 2571) with no further extension. Governors were told to stay in their provinces. For a business in Ayutthaya, Ang Thong, Chai Nat, Sing Buri or Lopburi, or in low-lying Bangkok, plan for repeated flooding and check stock, access roads and delivery routes. A 4,731 million baht relief fund for flood victims was also approved and is to be disbursed quickly.
