Special holiday to brace for flood

The Cabinet on Tuesday approved a government holiday on Thursday, Friday and Monday, effectively granting a five-day vacation for residents to brace for flood.

 

The holiday will take effect in 21 provinces, including Bangkok.
The Flood Relief Operations Centre will remain open. The government has switched to a crisis mode as a massive run-off will tomorrow arrive at the capital coinciding with a high tide.
