Floods continue to cause damage in 21 provinces in Thailand and threaten to inundate Bangkok this week.

While the floods had eased in some areas, such as central Nakhon Ratchasima and Chaiyaphum, districts and provinces located further downstream were now being inundated.

The Royal Irrigation Department issued a statement saying it had cut the volume of water released from Chao Phraya Dam in Chai Nat and the Pasak Dam in Lop Buri to minimise the water level in the Chao Phraya during the high tide period, which will last until tomorrow

Right now Bangkok is on standby with thousands of sandbags and pumps as flood water from the north runs downstream and could coincide with high tide, but so far no major flooding has been reported in the capital. Authorities in the capital have reinforced flood walls with 200,000 sandbags and are building temporary wooden bridges in 27 communities to help people cross waterlogged streets.

Due to flooding train services between Bangkok and Chiang Mai as well as Bangkok and Nong Khai remain problematic and will be checked on a daily basis.
