Rain eased in Bangkok on Sunday, though flooding persisted in low-lying areas, forcing thousands to seek shelter. Over 545,000 people across 25 provinces have been affected by the flooding caused by continuous downpours exceeding 30 centimeters of rainfall in many parts of Bangkok. Authorities set up over 200 temporary shelters and worked to drain water from the city’s canals. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul ordered immediate relief measures for those impacted, while transportation services experienced disruptions.

Story summary
Bangkok, Thailand declared a flood disaster zone after 48 hours of heavy rain caused widespread flooding, submerging roads and forcing thousands to evacuate. Over 300 millimeters (11.8 inches) of rain fell since Thursday afternoon, inundating canals and sending water into homes and businesses. The city's drainage system was overwhelmed by the continuous rainfall, leading to severe traffic disruptions in a city already known for its congested roads. While casualties have not been reported yet, concerns remain as more rain is expected through Sunday, raising fears of further canal overflows. Governor Chadchart Sittipunt advised residents to stay indoors and move belongings to upper floors near canals. This flooding resembles the devastating 2011 event that killed over 500 people across Thailand.
