Heavy rain falls in Bangkok as crews race to locate a petroleum leak beneath the Rama III Bridge U-turn. The excavation, conducted around the clock, focuses on Chuea Phloeng Road in Khlong Toei district. Workers carefully cut through concrete sections while tracing the 14-inch pipeline, hoping to trace the contamination's origin.
The Lower Explosive Limit is checked hourly to ensure safety, and firefighting foam counters flammable vapors. Temporary accommodation is provided to 31 affected households and 93 residents, with eight opting to relocate and 10 still considering the move. Meanwhile, the incident command center relocates further from the pipeline for precautionary reasons. A private oil company covers accommodation costs for those who leave during the search.
