The house of Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung on the Thon Buri side of Bangkok will not escape flooding, Science Minister Plodprasob Surassawadee said Monday.
Plodprasob said Thon Buri would be severely hit by flooding as floodwaters from Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani would flow overland to inundate about 80 to 90 per cent of the area of Thon Buri side.
He said the floodwaters would meet no barriers on the Thon Buri side so the waters would affect vast areas before flowing to Samut Sakhon and Nakhon Pathom.
“The situation on the Thon Buri side will be severe. The flooding will be widespread and nearly all or 80 to 90 per cent of the area will be flooded. Even the house of Chalerm will be visited by the floodwater more or less,” Plodprasob said.
