Thammasat University's Rangsit campus yesterday lost its battle to hold back floodwater, which burst into the site through a broken dyke.
Some 3,500 flood victims from Pathum Thani and neighbouring provinces are being sheltered at the campus. The university elected not to move them following the inundation.
