Eight communities in the Bang Kapi area were advised to evacuate to safer ground on Wednesday because the flood is approaching their homes.
The eight communities are Wang Yai, Wang Some, Samakki Pattana, Lamsalee, Lamsalee Pattana, Yoo Sabai housing estate, Majcha and Pracha Ruam Jai.
The alert was issued in the afternoon by Bangkok Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra as the runoff from the North closed in on Bang Kapi district and the Bang Kapi section of Khlong Saen Saeb, one of the city's main transport waterways. Other small canals including Khlong Ban Ma 2, Khlong Hua Mark Noi and Khlong Lamsalee were also affected.
