Flash Floods Recede in Phitsanulok’s Noen Maprang District
Flash floods from Khlong Chomphu in Phitsanulok province are beginning to subside, while authorities shift their focus to monitoring downstream areas.
According to a report by Thai Post on August 21, 2026, flash flooding originating from Khlong Chomphu in the Noen Maprang district of Phitsanulok province has begun to recede. Provincial officials, led by Governor Kiatisak Trongsiri and Deputy Governor Nisit Sawatdithep, visited the Wat Chomphu evacuation center in Moo 3, Tambon Chomphu, to provide essential supplies to displaced residents.
For travelers and residents in the region, this development indicates a slight improvement in the immediate flood situation in Noen Maprang. However, the provincial administration has issued a warning for the Bang Krathum district, which is expected to receive the runoff as it moves downstream. Those currently in or planning to travel to the Phitsanulok area should remain vigilant and monitor local updates regarding water levels and potential travel disruptions in the Bang Krathum district.
While the water levels in the initial flood zone are decreasing, the full impact on infrastructure and the duration of the alert for downstream communities remain to be confirmed. Residents are advised to follow official announcements from the Phitsanulok provincial government for the most accurate and timely safety information.
