Bangkok residents are advised to prepare for continuous rainfall and potential flooding between October 5 and 10.
A water management expert suggests the city prioritize internal drainage, downplaying concerns about Chao Phraya River runoffs or high tides.
Key recommendations include opening the Lat Krabang water gate and collaborating with the Royal Irrigation Department for more pumps to expedite drainage from canals like Prawet and Phra Khanong.
The BMA must monitor currently flooded areas and ensure efficient operation of water tunnels, as major drainage canals remain at capacity.
