Panic struck the Bang Kruai district when a significant section of the Chao Phraya River embankment collapsed, extending over 70 metres in length. A local Member of Parliament, along with relevant officials, surveyed the damage, urging residents to steer clear of the area due to the ongoing risk.

At 10am today, Anusorn Kaewwichian, a representative of the Move Forward Party from Nonthaburi Province constituency 3, along with officials, inspected the embankment along the Chao Phraya River in the Bang Kruai district of Nonthaburi. The inspection followed complaints from locals about the embankment, designed to serve as a barrier against the river waves, which had collapsed throughout more than 70 metres.

The investigation revealed that the embankment’s collapse began near the Bang Kruai canal drainage gate and extended to certain areas where the embankment had become completely severed. In some sections, gravel had been placed to reinforce the embankment.
