Today 12:58Key points summarised by AI
Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) lifted public disaster designations for six districts, leaving only Nong Chok and Lat Krabang still classified as flood-affected zones due to their low-lying nature.
Assistance and compensation for affected households will continue despite the lifted designations, while the Meteorological Department warns of new heavy to very heavy rain, strong winds, and potential flash floods across the South, lower North, Central Plains (including Bangkok), and East from today through Sunday.
