City Hall issued a warning to residents living along the Chao Phraya River in locations without any lasting obstacles to get ready for flooding next year on Monday.

People of areas prone to flooding from October 14 through October 23 may relocate their possessions to higher ground and keep a close watch on the river levels, according to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.

The Chao Phraya River’s rising Chao Phraya river may increase the flood risk during the 11 days as more liquid was pumped inland from Bangkok in Chai Nat province’s Chao Phraya Dam. &nbsp,

Outside the hillside territory, the BMA did not specify the city’s flood-prone areas. Data from 2022 showed these places as including pieces of Dusit, Phra Nakhon, Samphanthawong, Bang Kholaem, Yanawa, Bangkok Noi and Klong San towns.

Aekvarunyoo Amrapala, a spokesman for BMA, claimed this week’s heavy rain and thunderstorms in the north, northeast, and central regions would all contribute to the volume of water that is pouring down the Chao Phraya River.

The rain-swollen Ping River, which is only currently draining out of Chiang Mai, has caused significant flood in the region’s even northeast. In Nakhon Sawan, the Chao Phraya forms when the Ping and three various rivers confluence.

On Monday, the Chao Phraya Dam was releasing waters at a rate of 2, 199 cubic meters per second. &nbsp, &nbsp,
