Floodwaters in Thailand are creeping closer to the heart of Bangkok, with authorities warning millions to leave their homes in six city districts including areas just north of the city centre.

City officials said on Sunday that residents in the six districts faced "potential dangers to lives and properties" and urged them to move to emergency shelters.
