  "story": "In October 2024 the gauge at Nawarat Bridge, P.1, read 5.30 m at noon on 5 October, 1.10 m over the bank, 638 cubic metres a second. Tha Phae Road flooded from the bridge to the bank at Krung Thai; the Superhighway, the Don Chan and Chiang Kham overpasses, all of Mahidol Road, Warorot Market, the railway station and Nong Prathip junction went under. The water stood about 2 km east of the river."
