Riverside communities in Nonthaburi province are now under water

Hundreds of unprotected riverside households in Nonthaburi are submerged by the overflowing Chao Phraya River, forcing residents to contend with knee-deep water and unusable facilities.
Bangkok's Dusit district experienced and subsequently fixed cracks in its flood walls, while a 5km stretch of the Friendship Highway in Nakhon Ratchasima is inundated, severely impacting transport.
Widespread flooding also affects historic sites like Ayutthaya's Chai Wattanaram Temple, and communities in Ang Thong are constructing high barriers, fearing a recurrence of the 2011 mega-flood as critical water levels persist.
