The study found that floods have occurred as many as 15 times since 2005. In 2019, flooding covered 200.01 km2 of the watershed (5.51% of the total watershed). Among the areas that flood every year, 15 floods occurred in the lower part of the LSBW basin in Na Udom village, Khok Sawang and Fa Huan village, Rai Khi sub-district, which are in the south of Lue Amnat District, Amnat Charoen Province, as well as in parts of Dum Yai sub-district, Muang Sam Sip district, Ubon Ratchathani. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the influence of certain variables on this flooding. The variables showing positive β values were mean annual precipitation and distance to a road. The variables showing negative β values included elevation, terrain, slope, soil drainage, distance to stream, land-use, and distance to village, respectively. All of these variables can be analyzed for their Flood Prone Risk area in GIS. The study found that flood- prone areas at the very high-level flood prone risk areas, with a total area of 638.59 km2 (17.59%), high level flood prone risk areas cover an area of 1,848.10 km2 (50.92%).

Straddling the Chao Phraya River, the nation’s principal waterway, the province is extremely important, as it was the Siamese capital for four centuries. The city of Ayutthaya is 76 km. north of Bangkok and boasts numerous magnificent ruins from its days as the capital. Just to the south, in perfect condition, stands the royal palace of Bang Pa-in set in splendid gardens. The province is also noted for H.M. the Queen’s Bang Sai Arts and Crafts Centre. The ancient city of Ayutthaya, formally designated Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya was the Thai capital for 417 years, and is one of Thailand’s major tourist attractions. Many ancient ruins and art works can be seen in a city that was founded in 1350 by King U-Thong when the Thais were forced southwards by northern neighbours. During the period when Ayutthaya was capital, 33 kings and several dynasties ruled the kingdom, until the glittering city was sacked by the Burmese in 1767, ruined and abandoned.
