A monk and local official examine a bridge over a flood swollen waterway in Ayutthaya. Firebrand activist Srisuwan Janya has lambasted the government for failing to come up with effective measures to prevent flooding in the lower Central Plains. Authorities did not seem to have learned much from the catastrophic flooding in 2011, he said. Meanwhile, the Ayutthaya municipality has urged the provincial governor, Sujin Chaichumsak, to declare flood disaster zones in the province to facilitate assistance. The water water had almost reached U-Thong Road, which serves as a floodwall for the area.
