About 30 centimetres of rain fell in 48 hours, and flooding has halted traffic in many parts of Bangkok. Thai media report all 50 districts in greater Bangkok have been declared disaster zones; Thai PBS says temples and schools are serving as emergency shelters.
Further heavy rainfall is expected through Sunday. Thai PBS said public-sector employees have been instructed to work from home on Monday and Tuesday, while Khaosod reported that schools will remain closed.
