Former Thai Rak Thai executive Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan Wednesday urged Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to urgently change flood water management plan.
Sudarat said if the government adhered to the original plan to drive floodwaters to the sea via canals, floodwaters would soon inundate the Victory Monument.
She said the crisis prompted her to step in to provide advice.
She said the floodwaters would have to be pushed out through Nakhon Nayok and Chachoengsao. Parts of Bangkok would also need to share the floodwaters or else, the waster would be three to four metres high.
Sudarat said it was wrong measure to block water with flood barriers because the water keep accumulating and water pressure aslo rose.
