Experts at a recent forum warned that Bangkok faces a significant risk of permanent submersion by 2050. Projections indicate that up to one-third of the city's total area could be underwater if current trends continue without intervention.

The potential crisis is attributed to inadequate water-management systems and insufficient government action regarding climate change. Specialists emphasized that an immediate overhaul of national water infrastructure and more aggressive environmental policies are required to mitigate the long-term threat to the capital.
