Pathum Thani is under water

Pathum Thani Governor Nares Jitsujaritwong said Thursday that all districts in the province except Nong Sua were flooded.

And he had declared the districts of Muang Pathum Thani, Sam Khok, Lat Lum Kaeo, Klong Luang, Thanyaburi and Lam Luk Ka as disaster zones.

Pathum Thani has been hit hard by floodwater from the North, which has caused water levels to rise by 50cm a day. Officials built earthen dikes along Wat Bang Kradi Road to keep water out of the local industrial area.
