Today 11:24Key points summarised by AI

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has lifted the flood disaster status for 21 of its 50 districts, citing a return to normal conditions after heavy rains subsided.
Despite the improvement, 29 districts across Bangkok remain classified as flood disaster zones, following the initial declaration on September 25.
The BMA has established a shelter in Prawet district for pets and stray animals, currently caring for 23 dogs, to support residents impacted by the ongoing flood situation.

The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) increased the Chao Phraya Dam's water discharge to 2,200m3/s, issuing flood warnings for 11 downstream provinces.
Water levels are expected to rise by 20-60cm in affected areas within 24 hours, driven by continuous northern run-off and local rainfall.
Residents in low-lying areas, particularly in Chai Nat, are evacuating and moving belongings to higher ground, with some districts already experiencing inundation.
The escalated discharge aims to alleviate upstream flooding, and officials advise all riverside residents to secure valuables and monitor official announcements closely.
