The DDPM also stated that while the situation has improved in 13 of the affected provinces, it remains critical in the remaining 18 provinces.
According to local media, Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang stated that the Chao Phraya River level is currently well below the top of the flood embankment across the capital, with no damage to nearby residences.
