Thai floods to last four to six weeks more: Govt
BANGKOK - Thailand’s worst floods in decades are expected to last another four to six weeks as a mass of water drains from the north into the sea, the government warned on Saturday.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra warned residents in Bangkok to move their belongings at least one metre (3.3 feet) off the ground this weekend to prepare for possible inundation.
The flood situation would continue for “four to six weeks", she added.
Government spokeswoman Titima Chaisang told AFP the premier was referring to the overall flood situation in the country and not specifically in Bangkok.
Three months of heavy monsoon rains have killed at least 356 people in Thailand and damaged the homes and livelihoods of nine million people since the crisis erupted, mostly in the north and centre, the government said.
