Floodwater has receded by one to four centimetres in several eastern and western districts of the capital city, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration spokesman Wasant Meewong said on Wednesday.
The districts where water had dropped by 1-4cm were Sai Mai, Bang Sue, Nong Chok, Lat Krabang, Khannayao, Lat Phrao, and Thawi Watthana.
In Bang Phlat district alone, the water level dropped another 10cm to about 40cm high.
However, the water levels in Min Buri and Khlong Sam Wa districts east of Bangkok went up 1cm.
The floodwater on Phahon Yothin and Vibhavadi Rangsit roads did not spread further to elsewhere.
The water levels in Khlong Lat Phrao, Khlong Bang Bua and Khlong Prem Prachakorn which took water from Khlong Hok Wa were still high but stabilised.
More water pumps have been installed at Khlong Samsen, Bang Sue, Bang Khen Mai, Phraya Ratchamontri and Sanamchai stations and are all running in full capacity.
Soldiers have helped to clear garbage and weeds from in front of water pumpting stations and district offices have been allowed to seek an additional budget to hire more workers to clear garbage and other objects obstructing water flows, the BMA spokesman said.
