Floods arrive at Major Ratchayothin

The northern flood moving in from upper Bangkok on Thursday morning surrounded Major Cineplex Ratchayothin on Phahon Yothin road, reports said.

The floodwater flowed to the entertainment and shopping center through both Ratchayothin and Phahon Yothin roads, forcing it to shut down.

The public relations office of the Major Cineplex Group announced the closure of its theatre and shopping mall at Ratchayothin for the rest of the day.

Traffic police at Phahon Yothin police station said the outbound lanes of Phahon Yothin from Major Ratchayothin to Kasetsart intersection were submerged and impassable for all vehicles.

The inbound lanes from Kasetsart University to Central Lat Phrao department store were still open for traffic but only a few cars were using them as small vehicles could not pass through the Kasetsart intersection.
