Bangkok - Flood situation still did not pick up in many provinces because of heavy rain and mountain run-off.
Many villages in Nakhon Sawan faced mountain run-off, and villagers had to move to roadside. Water level was higher than one metre.
More than 2,000 rai of farmland were flooded.
12 boats as well as 27 water pumps were sent to give help to afflicted villagers.
People in risk areas were urged to closely keep up with the flood situation as more water from the upper part would come to make the situation worse soon.
The water level rose over one metre in Chaiyaphum after heavy rain. The situation would pick up if there was no rain during these two days.
More than 50 metres of water flooded many roads.
Rice farms in Buriram were still flooded. Farmers had to dry harvested rice before selling their rice.
