The floodwater at Wat Arun reached some historically significant structures inside the monastery.

The recent rising sea levels have caused many areas in the capital city and adjacent provinces to be inundated and Bangkok’s Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn, was no exception.

The floodwater at Wat Arun reached some historically significant structures inside the monastery. Chawalit Chanarat, CEO of TEAM Consulting Engineering and Management Pcl, expected that the water level would slowly subside to its lowest level before November 18.

The water level would slowly subside to its lowest level before November 18, said Chawalit.
