Thai capital warned "massive" water on the way By Pracha Hariraksapitak \| Reuters – BANGKOK (Reuters) - Floods swamped a new area of Thailand's capital on Wednesday as some shops rationed food and Bangkok's governor warned of "massive water" on the way that could put many parts of the sprawling city in danger by the end of the week. Large-scale evacuation was underway in Bang Phlad, a riverside area some way from Bangkok's inundated northern districts, as floods hit the capital on a second front, deepening anxiety in the city of 12 million people, many of whom were expected to flee before a special five-day holiday. "Now we're at a critical moment, we need to monitor the situation closely from 28-31 October, when many areas might be critical,"Bangkok Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra told reporters on Wednesday. "Massive water is coming." Sukhumbhand said 90 percent of the northern Don Muang district was under water and Bang Phlad was in a critical situation. Fourteen city districts were threatened by floods and two more could be hit on Thursday, he said.
