Drones deliver food to residents trapped by Bangkok floods

Bangkok's flooding has eased, but significant economic losses are anticipated, estimated at 12.3 billion baht, which equates to 0.066% of Thailand's annual GDP. The eastern region is expected to face losses of 2.98 billion baht, while Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, and Nakhon Pathom will collectively suffer around 1.84 billion baht in damages.

The hardest-hit sectors include consumer spending, tourism, and urban services, which have been adversely affected by disrupted economic activities. Despite some roads returning to normal, several communities and sois remain heavily flooded, with the Chao Phraya Dam releasing water at a rate of 1,900 cubic meters per second.
