The Irrigation Department is draining rainwater from Central Thailand, Bangkok and vicinity to the sea, opening the Lat Pho gate (cutting the Chao Phraya route from about 5 hours to 10 minutes) and deploying over 300 mobile pumps alongside about 15 fixed pump stations, targeting at least 34 million cubic metres per day. Low-lying areas near the Chao Phraya, Klong Rangsit and coastal canals are priority. Upstream flow from the Chao Phraya dam is still a concern, so expect flooding and access disruption in low-lying areas. Plan for possible road and site flooding, protect stock and equipment, and follow provincial governor instructions during emergencies.
