A number of 283 bank branches are closed as of noon today, nearly half of them in Pathum Thani, according to Bank of Thailand.
The number of closed branches increased by 56 from last Friday, as floods ravaged many districts of Pathum Thani. Banks are closing more branches in Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi and Bangkok.
Of total, 132 branches are in Pathum Thani, 63 in Nonthaburi, and 21 in Bangkok. As a sign of improved situation in central provinces, banks have resumed services at some branches.
