Downpours eased across Thailand’s capital on Sunday, though flooding continued in several low-lying areas, forcing thousands of residents to move into temporary shelters. Nationwide, at least eight fatalities were reported over the past 10 days.
Sustained downpours over recent days generated extensive flooding and major disruptions across Bangkok, affecting local businesses and traffic, as cumulative rainfall topped 30 centimetres (11.8 inches) in many locations.
