Pathum Thani was one of the areas in Greater Bangkok hit the hardest by torrential rain on Tuesday night and the Provincial Administration Organisation (PAO) chief pointed his finger at a pump breakdown as being one of the reasons.
Pathum Thani was one of the provinces adjacent to Bangkok that was seriously flooded by an overnight downpour, with Lam Luk Ka district hit the hardest, according to a Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department report released on Wednesday. The PAO also added Rangsit area in neighbouring Thanya Buri district as another heavily-flooded location.
