Bangkok has raised its flood alert level with heavy rain expected to fall until Saturday, adding to a huge volume of run-off continuing to flow from upstream and high tide impeding flood water drainage.
All the capital's main canals are full, except for Klong Saen Saep which was almost full as of Thursday, said city governor Chadchart Sittipunt, adding that a trough is expected to bring more rain to the city.
