Governor Shachchan confirmed that the Bangkok water situation is not critical, even the amount of water in the high dam. Repeat the high sea water surveillance, October 10 - 11, 2025.

Bangkok Governor Chachchan Chatchan revealed the water situation in the Bangkok area during the landing of the Phra Phra Phra Phon Pumping Station, which is the main heart of flood response, with Bangkok Deputy Governor Chatchan Chandrapha, Drainage Bureau Director and a related panel, stating that the overall water situation in the area that has experienced severe problems is improving, especially the Praeng area, where yesterday (4 October 68) there was a maximum of 122 millimeters of rain. However, flooding is still required in the sub-alley.

The North Water situation is not worrisome and not critical. Although the amount of water in the main dam is quite high, the water management in this year is significantly better than in 2011. The amount of water released is lower than in 2011. Now the Kwai Dam is full of water in the dam. The Sirikit Dam is almost full. The Bhumibol Dam is a lot of water. The amount of water released is about 2,500 cubic meters per second (m3 / s). It is still within the amount that can be obtained is 3,500 m3 / s.

In the area of drainage, the Phra Phra Nong Pumping Station can now control the water level at -1 meters above the mean sea level, but the problem is that the water from the Phra Nong Canal cannot flow in time, because the Phra Nong Canal is very winding, so that the water level above may still have to consider making a drainage tunnel. However, if the Nong Bon Tunnel is to be opened next year, it will strengthen the drainage.

Governor Shachchan said that what needs to be monitored is the high water supply, which is predicted to peak on October 10 and 11, 68, with two water rises per day, around 9: 00 in the morning and around 7: 00 in the evening, reiterating that the people as a whole do not have to worry, but ask people on the waterfront outside the water barrier to be extra vigilant, such as the mill community, the archangel, and other waterfront areas. The BMA has added sandbags, including wooden corridors for locals to use.

Deputy Governor Vishnu added that many projects have been implemented in Phra Chong and Phra Phra Phra Phra Phra Chong Pumping Station, increasing the depth of the dam to get better water.

Governor Shachchan has mentioned that it is a pity to score a barrier gate that the villagers do not allow because the barrier gate will improve water control efficiency.

"The situation is not worrisome. The Drainage Bureau is fully working, it is not a holiday, because the flood is not a holiday, so the authorities will not stop. A little more will run out of the rainy season, and the dust season will continue to prepare for dust. Which areas are still flooded, let the authorities come to the rescue," said Governor Shachchan.

Then, visit the Free-Nut village of Praetop District. After being notified of the flood problem through a live broadcast yesterday, with Honorable Sing Thong, the director of Praetop District, and related people. The latest situation, the main road of the village is dry, but there is also a flood in the small alley of Herringbone. There is also a tool problem. Last night, two pumps that were stationed were only able to operate because the other one was broken. However, the broken machine has been repaired and today the Mobile Pump has been brought in to help speed the pumping out of the area.

In this regard, Governor Shachchan discussed inquiring the local public of the drainage problem and instructed the District Director to review the overall sewer system and the connections of pipes in the sub-alley, to find further solutions.
