Bangkok not safe yet: Royol

Bangkok will still need to keep its guards against an existing flood risk, a prominent expert said Tuesday.
Working under the Water and Flood Management Commission (WFMC), Royol Jitdon said his subcommittee on water-situation analysis had now requested pumps from the Royal Thai Army and the Royal Thai Navy to boost the capital’s ability to facilitate the water flow out to the sea.
“There are 62 pumps in eastern Bangkok,” he said in his capacity as the chair of the subcommittee.
Although Gaemi storm has already been downgraded into a low-pressure cell, it had still spread rain and sometimes downpour over a wide area of Thailand.
