Thai government warns of heavy rain and launches aid app for flood‑prone central provinces
The Meteorological Department said heavy rainfall will affect Thailand's central region from 11 to 14 October and the water level in the Chao Phraya River is about 90 cm below the floodgate, prompting the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration to reinforce sandbags, build wooden bridges and pump water from flood‑affected areas such as Lad Krabang community, while warning motorists to avoid several major roads.1
In parallel, the government introduced the Traffy Fondue mobile system to coordinate flood‑relief assistance across seven provinces, including Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan, Samut Sakhon, Nakhon Pathom and Kanchanaburi, offering free services and mobile units for residents unable to travel.2
