Asked if he could tell Bangkokians that Bangkok is 100% safe from the coming flood tide, the governor could not give 100% assurance, saying the flood barriers will be manned 24 hours and that BMA will make them as strong as possible.
However, he expressed worry about people outside the flood barriers in Lat Krabang, Khlong Samwa, Nong Chok and Minburi who are facing flood problems at the moment.
The vunerable spots right now are Paholyothon Rd in front of Zear Department Store which may see flood water from Rangsit canal overflowing. Another area is on Thonburi side around Mahasawat canal, and Bhuddamonthon 4 Rd which is lower than the water level.
