AYUTTHAYA: To minimize accidents during the introduction of the northern storm surge, aquatic authorities have established a controlled traffic area in the Chao Phraya creek in Ayutthaya.

The Royal Irrigation Department started releasing fluids from the Chao Phraya Dam at 1,600 million cubic meters per second, according to Pheerathorn Naksuk, chairman of the Marine Office in Ayutthaya, on Wednesday, necessitating the control area.

As a result, the river’s businesses burst, flooding river communities with enormous amounts of water.

A controlled marine transportation territory had been established for the Chao Phraya River from Wat Phananchoeng Voraviharn in the Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya area to Ang Thong state, as well as the Pasak River, which runs from Wt.

Tugboats were only permitted to transport a maximum of three goods boats. Another motorized boat must be at the back, controlling the ships, when crossing a bridge.

Boats must not be pulled by tugboats that are heavier than permitted. All members of the tower staff and nbsp are required to wear life vests. & nbsp,
