Thailand says flood death toll rises to 366

BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand's government says the death toll from catastrophic flooding nationwide has risen to 366.

The Flood Relief Operations Center says water levels in provinces north of Bangkok are stable or subsiding, but the massive runoff is still bearing down on the city as it flows south toward the Gulf of Thailand.

Authorities have declared seven of the capital's 50 districts, located in the north and northwest, at risk and those zones are experiencing minor flooding.

But most of Bangkok is normal and both airports are functioning.

Late Monday, Gov. Suhumbhand Paribatra warned residents in the northwestern Bang Phlat district to move their belongings to higher ground after water in the Chao Phraya river crept in through a subway construction site.
