Bangkok declares disaster as floods hit, while Messi's final match tickets sell out

Authorities in Thailand have declared a state of disaster across all 50 districts of Bangkok following record-breaking rainfall. The intense precipitation has caused widespread flooding, affecting more than 84,000 people, disrupting traffic, and forcing hundreds to evacuate their homes. Governor Chadchart Sittipunt stated that emergency teams are working to pump water out of flooded areas, though risks remain high near canals.

In sports news, tickets for Lionel Messi’s final match with the Argentine national team sold out in just 90 minutes. The match is scheduled for October 6 against Benin at the Monumental de Núñez Stadium in Buenos Aires. The high demand resulted in long virtual queues and significant social media activity, with ticket prices ranging from 90,000 to 480,000 Argentine pesos.
