PATHUM THANI: Water levels in flood-hit Rangsit began falling on Friday as large pumps helped drain the overflowing Rangsit Prayoonsak canal into the Chao Phraya River.
Pathum Thani was one of the areas in Greater Bangkok hit the hardest by torrential rain on Tuesday night and the Provincial Administration Organisation (PAO) chief pointed his finger at a pump breakdown as being one of the reasons.
His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua has granted the deed for a 300-rai plot in the Rangsit Khlong Hok area of Pathum Thani's Thanya Buri district, to be used for the new zoo which will replace the 80-year-old Dusit Zoo in Bangkok.
