Bangkok plans targeted pumping to drain flooded communities

Bangkok Governor Chadchart announced a targeted 'guerrilla' pumping operation using submersible and large pumps to drain flooded communities, focusing on Ramkhamhaeng, Bueng Kum, Seri Thai, Nawamin, Lat Krabang, and Luang Phaeng. Water levels are gradually receding with no additional rain forecast, and food distribution has been adjusted to reach deeper-lying areas. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration is seeking private-sector support to accelerate drainage.
