Bangkok Dangerous

Snakes are a potential hazard in flooded areas. The Ministry of Public Health has ordered previously unavailable green mamba serum from abroad after 15 of the deadly African breed escaped from a veterinarianĂ¢€™s clinic in Pak Kret yesterday.

The northern runoff of floodwater has surrounded Major Cineplex Ratchayothin on Phahon Yothin Road. The water level is up to 30cm, forcing the entertainment centre to close

The Flood Relief Operations Centre (Froc) has urged all districts in Bangkok to be on full alert as the northern runoff continues to bear down onĂ‚ the capital. 

The outbound lanes of Phahon Yothin Road from Major Ratchayothin to the Kasetsart intersection have been submerged and are impassable to all vehicles. Vendors at Bang Khen fresh market have evacuated the area. 

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has announced that the whole of Bang Khae district must evacuate because of the rising level of water in Khlong Mahasawat. 

About half of Chatuchak district has been flooded with more than 300 flood victims evacuated from the area and moved to relief centres. 
Floodwaters on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road from Wat Samian Nari to the Ngam Wong Wan intersection have risen rapidly. The water level at Klong Prem Central Prison has reached 1.5m and some prisoners have been evacuated. 

Thousands of volunteers help make Effective Microorganism (EM) balls to treat polluted floodwater. In the meantime, all seven industrial estates ravaged by floods are expected to resume operations early next year. 

Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal at Mor Chit could be relocated to Suvarnabhumi airport if it is flooded, according to Transport Company managing director Wutichart Kanlayanamit. 

The Thai Red Cross Society is in desperate need of blood due to flood crisis. The death toll has risen to 437, with two reported missing.
