Severe flooding across Thailand has disrupted Bangkok restaurants, Toyota production and Thai Airways cargo operations. Restaurant operators reported revenue losses of up to 80% as flooded roads kept customers and employees away, interrupted ingredient deliveries and courier services, and drove wholesale prices for Chinese kale, cucumbers and yardlong beans to double. Toyota suspended operations at three plants and a Toyota Auto Works joint-venture facility after parts deliveries were disrupted, while Thai Airways stopped accepting inbound and outbound cargo from Wednesday through October 6. Bangkok received 320 millimeters of rain in three days late last week and was declared a disaster-affected zone. The interior ministry said 44 of Thailand’s 77 provinces had been affected, with 32 still reporting flooding on Wednesday, while government spokesperson Ekkapob Pianpises cited health ministry figures putting the death toll at 40, compared with the ministry’s reported toll of at least 24. Suvarnabhumi Airport remained open but faced staff shortages, unprocessed baggage and flight cancellations.
