Eight dead in Thailand floods since mid-September⁣
⁣
Eight people have died in flooding in Thailand since September 16, although none in the capital Bangkok which declared a disaster this weekend following heavy rains, the government said Monday.⁣
⁣
Not including Bangkok, more than 500,000 housesholds and 1.7 million people across 27 provinces in the Southeast Asian country have been affected by flooding, the DDPM said.⁣
A further 52,000 households were impacted in the capital, which on Saturday declared a city-wide disaster after almost 48 hours of heavy rain swelled canals and flooded roads.⁣
No deaths have been officially reported in Bangkok, and the DDPM said water levels had stabilised.⁣
⁣
Schools have been closed and people urged to work from home -- a call that many heeded, with streets and public transport networks noticeably quieter on Monday morning.⁣
"Some areas in Bangkok are still facing high water levels," government spokesman Ekkapob Pianpises told a news briefing.⁣
Drainage systems had reduced water levels to the point that more people could travel, he added.⁣
Thailand is used to wet weather and September is the peak of the rainy season, but many residents said this year seemed worse than previous ones.⁣
