I have read that flood waters continue to move into Bangkok from the northern districts including Chatuchak, where the famous weekend market is. How far is this from the central business district of Bangkok? When will the central business district be flooded?
•The Chatuchak district is about 9 Km north of Bangkok’s central business district
(reference point for CBD: corner of Rama 4 Road and Silom Road).
•While there is some flooding in the Chatuchak district, the Chatuchak Weekend Market, located in the south end of the district, was open this past weekend. The MRT and BTS to Chatuchak Station are still operating as per usual.
•There is a lot of speculation about if and when inner Bangkok will actually get flooded, but nobody can say for sure what will happen over the next several days.
