Abstract

This study explains deficiencies in Bangkok’s current floodplain management and demonstrates improvements that are possible using a strategic flood risk management framework. The flood that occurred in 2001 in Bangkok is described with the aim of highlighting the deficiencies of the metropolis’ flood management. A preliminary assessment of flood risks was conducted in each of 50 districts of Bangkok. The flood risk estimation over a 12-year period (1999–2009 and 2011) revealed that 10, 3, 6, and 31 districts of the metropolis were categorized as areas with very high (>30 %), high (>20–30 %), moderate (10–20 %), and low (
