Ayutthaya on alert for flooding as Chao Phraya Dam opens gates


BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): Ayutthaya is preparing to cope with expected flooding after the Chao Phraya Dam opened its floodgates, releasing 1,200 cubic metres per second, affecting many areas of Bangkok's neighbouring province.

Continuous rainfall over the past several days in many parts of Thailand have led to water levels at dams rising, and many of them have started to release water.

Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
