[Bangkok floods are gradually easing, and more than 700,000 households across the country have applied for assistance] On October 4, Chachai, the mayor of Bangkok, Thailand, said on the 4th that the floods in eastern Bangkok are slowly receding. At the same time, according to the weather forecast, there is currently no risk of new rainfall or flooding caused by the northern flood peak moving south. When asked about the heavy rainfall expected in the next few days, Chachai responded that the city will lower the water levels in various canals as early as possible. Bangkok is expected to receive about 30 millimeters of rainfall, which is normal monsoon rain and far lower than the approximately 300 millimeters that caused recent floods. As for the annual floods that may be caused by the northern flood peak advancing along the Chao Phraya River towards Bangkok, Chachai pointed out that the peak water level this year is at normal levels and the city government is capable of dealing with it. It is also reported that as of October 3, 702,217 households across the country have registered to apply for flood assistance, involving 65 provinces and all areas of Bangkok. Among them, Bangkok has the largest number of registered households, reaching 343,545, followed by Samut Prakan and Pathum Thani.
