Cumulative rain in Bangkok, its outer districts and the east has passed 300 mm, and BMA has declared disaster areas in all 50 districts. Flooding on at least 13 main roads is being pumped out, and BMA expects 2-3 days to return to normal if no more heavy rain comes. Shoppers in Saiyai are buying eggs, fresh herbs, canned and processed food, and some convenience stores are out of instant noodles. Plan for stock shortages and delivery delays, and check staff commute safety. BMA has asked schools to close and some government staff to work from home, so expect lower foot traffic. The Asok-area market is holding prices steady, and the Met Department says rainfall in Bangkok and central Thailand may start to ease.
