Thailand's Cabinet Declares Holidays Amid Bangkok Flooding
Thailand’s cabinet has approved special holidays for civil servants in Bangkok and nearby provinces on September 28 and 29 as the city continues to face a flooding crisis following days of heavy rain. The flooding has significantly disrupted transport and impacted homes and businesses.
The government hopes that the closure will minimize movement in the area while emergency teams focus on drainage and rescue operations. Additionally, the flooding situation may influence the timing of a court ruling related to electoral ballots.
Authorities are actively monitoring water levels in Bangkok’s canals and surrounding areas to assess the ongoing situation.
