FROC: More sluice gates need to be opened
The Public Relations Unit of the Flood Relief Operations Center (FROC) said that there is the necessity to open a lot more sluice gates such as Phraya Surane sluice gate in Khlong Sam Wa, resulting in a greater amount of water flowing into many districts of Bangkok. This will cause the flood water in communities situated along the canal to be 10-50 cm higher.
As for Prem Prachakon Canal, which already sees flood water behind its banks, it also has to bear the constant and rapid rise of water flows from Rangsit Canal. Therefore, the residents in the communities along the canal including Sai Mai, Khan Na Yao, Saphan Soong, Bueng Kum, Suan Luang, Bang Kapi, Don Mueang, Lak Si, Chatuchak and Bang Sue districts have to carefully watch out and be prepared for an announcement on relocation of belongings to higher grounds.

Water begins receding in Ayutthaya, normalcy to return in a month
The flood level within Ayutthaya province is on the decline, prompting authorities to begin draining water out of the old city. The overall situation is expected to return to normal within one month’s time.
Improvements have been reported in the flood situation within Ayutthaya with decreases in flood levels of between 10-50 centimeters in Tha Ruea, Nakhon Luang, Bang Pahan, Ban Phraek and Maha Rat districts and between 1-5 centimeters in Bang Ban, Phak Hai, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Bang Pa-in and Bang Sai.
Upon the declining water levels in the Chao Phraya and the Pa Sak Rivers, Ayutthaya Mayor Somsong Sappakosonlakul has instructed related officials to hastily siphon the floodwater out of the ancient city area of Ko Mueang. Ruptures on the flood barrier along Mahachai Canal have been blocked while nine large water pumping machines have been installed with a total capacity to discharge up to 1,000 cubic meters of water into the river per hour.
It is expected that roads will be reopened to traffic within the next ten days and normalcy will be restored in Ayutthaya within one month. Even though five industrial estates are still submerged, the authorities are waiting for the water to recede further before carrying out a recovery mission.

So far, more than 1,000 boats have been donated to the flood victims in 7 provinces and other 333 boats have been donated though the Flood Relief Operation Center (FROC).
He added that the ministry's name sign attached on the side of the boats are for making sure that the donated boats would be used for the community's benefits and not for personal purpose since they were large boats. Nevertheless, the ministry has to return the steel boats to the donors since iron is the conductor which might pose risk of electrical shock to the users.
Mr Patchara confirmed that the donation items sent to the ministry would not be destroyed like the ones in the FROC, Don Muang Airport. He claims that the Energy Ministry only brings the donation items to the flood victims, but it does not act as a receiver. Moreover, today more than 100 boats will be distributed, leaving about 10 boats which the nearby communities which the officials can use in cases of floods.

The Ministry of Public Health has dispatched 38 mobile teams to provide medical attention for flood victims stranded in their homes across Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani.
Public Health Minister Witthaya Buranasiri stated that he had already called in 38 mobile medical units from various provinces and instructed them to travel into flooded zones within Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani to provide medical assistance for flood-affected residents.

Should any of the stranded experience illnesses, they are encouraged to post a green cloth or flag in front of their home in order to let the officials know that medical help is needed.
As for other provinces where the floods are subsiding, the Minister urged related sides to clean out garbage and debris at haste in a bid to ensure sanitation for the public and prevent post-flood diseases, such as leptospirosis, acute diarrhea, influenza and conjunctivitis.
According to Permanent Secretary for Public Health MD Paichit Warachit, a total of 395 patients have so far been transferred from hospitals in flood-hit areas of Bangkok to safer facilities in other provinces. He confirmed that there would be enough beds to accommodate patients from Bangkok if more of them needed to be relocated.
