(111016) -- BANGKOK, Oct. 16, 2011 (Xinhua) -- A local citizen walks on temporary wooden board above flooded water towards Si Phraaya Pier in Bangkok, Oct. 16, 2011. Thai Agriculture Minister Theera Wongsamut assured on Sunday that Bangkok would be safe from flooding formerly expected on weekend as northern runoff from upstream has already passed Bangkok and drifted into sea. Speaking at Sunday's press conference at the National Flood Relief Center set up to cope with the worst flooding in decades, the minister said that water peaked Saturday at 2.29 meters against the 2.5-meter flood barrier height.
