Bangkok - The Meteorological Department warned Thai people of flash floods and mountain run-off during these few days.
About two-metre waves in the seas were expected. Fishermen were asked to be careful about navigation.
Continual raining in Bangkok has taken place since last night.
As a result, traffic jams occurred on Phetchkasem, Rama IV, Samsen, Ratchadapisek, Rama V and Bangna Trat Road.
People in all walks of life and students were late for work and study, since there were road accidents in some areas.
Heavy rain was caused by the low-pressure mass which was passing the central region and east as well as by the strong southwest monsoon.
60-80% of rain could be expected in the northeast, east, south, central region including Bangkok.
