Three drown in floods in Ayutthaya

Today 19:11Key points summarised by AI

Three individuals have tragically drowned in floodwaters across Sena and Bang Ban districts in Ayutthaya as the Chao Phraya, Pasak, and Noi rivers, along with canal networks, experience steadily rising water levels.
Major dams, including the Chao Phraya Dam in Chainat and Pasak Jolasid Dam in Lop Buri, are discharging substantial volumes of water, contributing to the severe flooding in Ayutthaya province.
Some areas, such as Village 2 in Sena district, have been inundated for over a month, forcing residents to adapt by moving to upper floors or relocating to temporary shelters.
Villagers express profound hardship, with some choosing to remain in their flooded homes to care for bed-ridden family members despite the annual inconvenience and severe disruption to daily life.
