Pathum Thani starts to dry out

The flood level is slowly falling in Pathum Thani and there are high expectations the area will return to normal in about 10 days.

Flood levels have receded by about 50cm and are continuing to drop.

The water has receded significantly on Pathum Thani-Bangkok Road, a main road linking the province with northern and eastern Bangkok.

Three bus lines have resumed services on this route but smaller cars are still advised to wait until the flood situation has further improved.

Flood waters in several housing projects in Pathum Thani’s Muang district have receded by about 20cm, raising hopes that the overall situation will be back to normal in about 10 days.

By then all roads in the province should be dry, with only a few low-lying parts still holding pooling water.

Meanwhile, the floodwater on the Pathum Thani- Sam Khok Road, connecting Muang district with Sam Khok district, remains as deep as 80cm on average and only military trucks can pass through.
