Bangkokians on Friday were warned to prepare for flooding in the middle of this month when water from upstream flowing into the Chao Phraya River will coincide with high tides.
Bangkok Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra gave the warning during an inspection of the water situation along the Chao Phraya River and Bangkok Noi canal.
Some 200 households in riverside communities outside the city’s flood prevention dykes have been already been hit as the period of high tides approaches and river levels from upstream water flows increase.
