Play
Bangkok Governor MR Sukhubmbhand Paribatra Tuesday issued an apology to residents of Phayathai district for falsely urging them to evacuate.
Sukhumbhand said he signed an order to tell residents of three areas in the district to evacuate out of misinformation.
He said he later found out that the areas were not heavily flooded so he issued another order Monday to cancel the evacuation order.
He said he had to be blamed for the mishap because he was the one who signed the evacuation order.
