The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has prepared 2.5 million sandbags to brace for the risk of high water surges from tomorrow until Oct 10 due to the release of flood water from the North, as heavy rain and high tides are forecast.
Jessada Chandraprabha, deputy director of the BMA's Drainage and Sewerage Department, on Wednesday expressed concern about the flooding situation in the capital as accumulated rainfall has exceeded 100 millimetres on average.
Accumulated rainfall over the whole of last month was about 801mm, which surpassed last year's level of 300-500mm.
