The floods which have submerged parts of the kingdom are expected to subside by the end of next month, according to the Office of National Water Resources (ONWR).
ONWR secretary-general Surasee Kittimonthon said rainfall is expected to decrease gradually across the North, Northeast and Central Plains at the start of next month, which marks the beginning of the dry season.
In some parts, rainfall is already dropping. Due to steadily decreasing rainfall, authorities have been able to cut the water discharge rate from the Chao Phraya barrage in Chai Nat, which controls the amount of water flowing into the Central Plains from the North.
