Four districts in eastern Bangkok have been warned of the flood situation worsening as the city administration has opened two flood sluice gates on Monday.

Deputy Prime Minister General Chatchai Salikulya would not say directly if the plan to build the controversial Mae Wong dam in order to prevent floods and save the drought-plagued Lower Sakae Krang basin would be scrapped, but he affirmed that concerned parties had at least reached a “resolution” – for now.
