Mansoon rains in Thailand overflowed rivers. Many homes and buildings were flooded. Streets in Bangkok were filled with flood waters, causing vehicles to submerge. Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt said in a statement yesterday that flood waters reached 170 cm, the highest level in the last 20 years, while conducting a damage assessment on the capital’s streets.
At a cabinet meeting yesterday, the Thai government decided to allocate 1.6 million Thai baht in the aid budget due to flooding in the country.
