Tap water in Bangkok, Nonthaburi, and Samut Prakan is currently brackish but safe for consumption, a result of low rainfall leading to seawater intrusion into the Chao Phraya River.
Authorities are coordinating water discharge and production to mitigate the issue, while a wider drought affecting 34 provinces prompts officials to store water and explore new sources.

Scientists confirmed six fossilized footprints in Udon Thani, Thailand, belong to a carnivorous theropod dinosaur from approximately 120 million years ago.
The footprints, measuring 29x26 cm, indicate a theropod estimated at 1.42 meters tall at the hip and 6.3 meters long, comparable to Siamotyrannus isanensis.
This discovery marks the first confirmed find of fossilized footprints from a meat-eating theropod dinosaur in Thailand, highlighting its unique paleontological significance.
The site will be protected under the Fossil Protection Act, with plans to develop it into a research center and a geological tourism destination.
