All 50 districts of Bangkok have been declared disaster areas due to severe flooding caused by prolonged heavy rainfall, submerging roads and forcing residents to flee.
Bangkok, Thailand's capital, has been declared a disaster zone. Days of heavy rainfall inundated the city, submerging roads and filling canals. Authorities extended the disaster declaration to all 50 districts, enabling a more systematic response to the widespread flooding.
The declaration follows nearly two days of continuous downpours, which overwhelmed the city's drainage systems. This event highlights Bangkok's vulnerability to extreme weather, a recurring challenge for the sprawling metropolis situated in a low-lying delta.
