Anthong governor Weerawut Putrasenee said communities in Tambon Phongphaeng of Pamok district and in Tambon Pangjak of Wisetchaicharn district were hit by the floods.
The communities are located outside the flood embankment.
He said local administrations were helping communities to move their valuables upstairs and building makeshift paths for residents.
The governor said the water level in the river was continually rising because the Chao Phraya Dam had to release more water following heavy downpours. The dam also has to release water as more rains are expected during the forecasted rainstorms up to July 17.
