15:02 Nov 2 – Ploprasop: All Thon Buri will flood

The flood will likely cover all of Thon Buri, to the west of Bangkok, and the water will stay in the area for 15 to 20 days, Science and Technology Minister Plodprasop Suraswadi said on Wednesday. The government’s Flood Relief Operations Centre chief of operations said there were between 2.5 billion and three billion cubic metres of floodwater in Thon Buri at this time. I believe that the water in the west of Bangkok should be drained out to the sea as quickly as possible, ” Mr Plodprasop said. He had sent a team of experts to assess the flood situation in Thon Buri, which is at a lower level than the Prakhon Nakhon side of the capital city.
