Western provinces warned of flooding, poor drainage in east

The Thai government issued a warning on Wednesday regarding potential flooding in the country's western provinces due to forecasts of heavy rainfall. Authorities advised residents in these areas to remain alert for rising water levels and associated hazards.

Simultaneously, officials reported that floodwaters in the eastern provinces of Chachoengsao and Prachin Buri are struggling to recede. The delay in drainage is attributed to high tide conditions, which are currently obstructing the flow of water out of the affected eastern regions.
