According to the BMA, there are a total of 10,343 people staying in 436 school compounds which now serve as evacuee centers while ten of those have been closed as flood levels continue to rise.

Other two located in Sai Mai are Wat Ko Suwannaram and Soi Annex schools, and Sam Wa Mosque school which is in Khlong Sam Wa district.
