National — On September 25th, 2024, Deputy Interior Minister Theerarat Samrejvanich addressed the current flood situation, expressing confidence that Bangkok is well-prepared to handle any incoming water, reassuring that the water levels are not expected to reach the scale of the 2011 major floods.

Theerarat noted that Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt had updated her on the situation, confirming that the city has been preparing for potential floods and is ready to respond. She emphasized the need to inspect water pumps and ensure all personnel are on duty. Officials have been instructed to maintain a high level of vigilance to prevent any severe flooding.

While heavy rain or a major storm could cause temporary flooding in some areas, she is confident that drainage systems will work quickly to manage the situation.

Read the same kind of Bull before the 2011 Floods !    Thailand is never PREPARED for anything; especially when people like Anutin are saying everything will be ok.    Best thing to do if you live there is flog the Car and buy a Boat pronto !
