An irrigation road and embankment near the Chao Chet sluice gate in Ayutthaya partially collapsed, allowing water from the swollen Noi River to inundate three districts.
Residents in Sena, Bang Sai, and Lat Bua Luang districts were urged to move valuables to higher ground as floodwaters entered the Chao Chet-Bang Yeehon Canal.
Provincial and irrigation officials are actively working to plug the 5-meter gap to halt the continuous flow of an estimated 90m3/sec of water into the affected areas.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
