The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) has warned provinces along the Chao Phraya River to brace for a greater risk of flooding as the Chao Phraya Dam in Chai Nat will now up its rate of discharge rate to prevent it from overfilling.
The provinces concerned are Sukhothai, Ayutthaya, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Bangkok and Samut Prakan, said Thawisak Thanadechophon, deputy director-general of the RID, on Tuesday.
