The Chao Phraya River barrage, which controls the water flow from the North to the Central Plains Region and Bangkok, is releasing more water as heavy downpours are expected this week.
A large volume of water has been accumulating from the North which has been hit by heavy rainfall. The water has flowed downstream, forcing the Chao Phraya barrage in Chai Nat to discharge more water on Wednesday.
The barrage is now discharging 1,692 cubic metres of water per second, pushing up the water level in the Chao Phraya River by 29 centimetres.
