In Chiang Mai, northern Thailand's second-largest city, tourist attractions in the center of the city were also flooded up to 1m as the Ping River's water level rose to a record high of 5.3m.
Chiang Mai authorities say three people were killed in electrocution and landslides.
Trains connecting Bangkok and Chiang Mai have also been suspended and major highways to the outskirts have been flooded.
Thailand's disaster authorities say flooding in the north could cause water levels in areas downstream of the Zhaopraya River, including Bangkok, to rise.
In particular, he warned that if heavy rains fall during high tide from the 18th to the 22nd, the entire metropolitan area could face flooding due to poor drainage.
In Thailand, flood damage has been reported in 42 states since mid-August, with 49 deaths so far.
