Bangkok flood risk threatens IMF-World Bank summit logistics

Bangkok faces potential flooding from heavy rain (50mm/day) coinciding with the IMF-World Bank annual meetings, which will host over 15,000 delegates. The meteorological department forecasts the rain for October 11-13, the summit's start, raising concerns about event disruption and urban drainage capacity. This is a logistical and infrastructure risk, not yet a confirmed flood, with uncertainty over the severity and impact on summit proceedings.
