Mr. Apirak Kosayodhin, the Governor of Bangkok, has closed down the Rescue Center for Inundation in Bangkok as the flood situation in the capital has improved. Thus, he can dispatch his team to other neighbouring flood-affected provinces. All involved units are ready to handle the rising tides in the central region between November 9th and 10th.

M.R. Pridiyathorn Devakula, the Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, said the Ministry of Public Health and the Ministry of Interior are doing their best to help the flood victims. Currently, the flood situation in the North has been solved. However, the officials are preparing to deal with the escalating tides during the beginning of this month. The Cabinet also has a backup plan for the expected inundation in the central region.
