No end in sight: Bangkok’s flood problem to persist
Nine years after the epic flood of 2011, the upper-eastern part of Bangkok — the low-lying and flood-prone area — is still as vulnerable as ever to inundation as City Hall might not be able to develop six flood catchment projects there as planned.
In the 2011 monsoon season, the upper-eastern part of the capital city suffered from severe floods. Among the hardest-hit areas were the districts of Kannayao, Min Buri, Sai Mai and Klong Sam Wa because most are on low-lying land.
