High tide raises Chao Phraya River level, floods communities in Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani

Riverside households in Bangkok’s neighbouring provinces of Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani, which are not protected by floodwalls, have been warned to brace for flooding today (Sunday) due to the high tide.

 

According to the City Administration’s Department of Drainage and Sewerage, the high tide today will probably raise the Chao Phraya River to the highest level so far this year and this will flood riverside areas.

 

Pathum Thani

 

Panya Kaewtham, a resident of Chiangrak Noi sub-district in Sam Kok district of Pathum Thani, told Thai PBS that floodwater has been flowing steadily into houses, forcing them to move their valuables to higher ground.

I'm sure his "barrack palace" is bone dry.

No floods in house not located riverside and with flood walls in place. No floods in houses on stilts.

Yes it is impossible to stop an extra high tide, and there are places that are always going to flood if they are

too close to the ocean, and are not built up higher than the surrounding land area. like Nonthaburi.
