Weerayut Thongwatcharanon, director of waterworks for Samut Sakhon Municipality, said repairs to the damaged water pipe had been completed. The water supply had been restored and services in the municipal area had returned to normal during the morning. “Once all inbound lanes are fully reopened, this should significantly ease congestion, particularly from Tha Chin River bridge to the Talay Thai market area.”
