Bangkok declared a disaster zone: all 50 districts flooded after nearly 300 mm of rain in two days
Governor Chadchart Sittipunt declared all 50 of Bangkok's districts disaster areas after nearly 300 mm of rain in 48 hours: submerged roads, flooded neighbourhoods, panic buying. Floods hit some twenty provinces and two deaths were reported in Chanthaburi. The army opened shelters; waters began receding on Saturday, less than a year after deadly floods in the country's south.
