Chao Phraya riverside communities are warned of potential river overflows daily between 6 am and 9 pm until November 9th.
The risk is attributed to high tides, an intensified north-easterly monsoon, and water discharge from the Chao Phraya Dam, with water levels estimated at 1.7-2.2 meters above mean sea level; residents can report issues via the BMA’s “Traffy Fondue” QR code.

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).
