Bangkok inundation lessening: Yongyuth

The Bangkok inundation has improved as several areas saw floodwater receding, Deputy Prime Minister Yongyuth Wichaidit said on Friday.

Yongyuth said he expected the city administration to speed up the drainage by pumping floodwater from submerged areas.

The Royal Irrigation Department would handle the overland flow preventing it from entering the capital, he added.
