No of closed bank branches drops

For the first time in over a month, the number of temporarily-closed bank branches dropped, showing a good sign that the water level will recede soon.

According to the Bank of Thailand, the number dropped by 18 from the previous day to 613 on Nov 9, thanks largely to the service resumption of branches in Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi and parts of Bangkok.

Of total, 334 are located in Bangkok, 147 in Pathum Thani and 64 in Nonthaburi. The rest are in five other provinces.

Though, 5,596 ATMs are unplugged, showing an increase of 103 from the previous day, as floods hit more parts of Bangkok. At present, 2,217 ATMs in Bangkok, 15.8 per cent of total in the province, are unplugged.
