The death toll from floods and heavy rain in Thailand has risen to 23, including four people in Bangkok, after flooding affected 42 provinces since 16 September. The government expects water levels in the capital to recede within three days if there is no further rain, while Thai Airways has reduced flights and more than 1,000 businesses have been affected.
Bangkok authorities declared all 50 districts of the capital disaster-affected areas after heavy rain inundated roads and raised canal levels to critical heights. Officials warned residents near waterways and in low-lying areas, while traffic was widely disrupted as small vehicles were unable to cross several locations.
Bangkok authorities declared a flood disaster after around 300 millimetres of rain fell since Thursday, flooding roads, disrupting traffic and prompting some residents to leave their homes. More than 84,000 people across Thailand were affected by flooding in 21 provinces, amid warnings that rain would continue until Sunday.
