Kanchanaburi Governor Issues Flood Warning for 13 Districts

According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, Kanchanaburi Governor Warittha Sanguansermsri has issued an urgent warning for 13 districts across the province. Following meteorological forecasts, the region is under close observation for flash floods, forest runoff, and stagnant water accumulation between September 8 and September 13, 2026.

For travelers and residents, this alert is significant as the provincial authorities have ordered special monitoring of popular tourist attractions, including caves, waterfalls, and Tham Lot. The governor has indicated that if conditions become hazardous, these sites may be subject to immediate closure and restricted access. Local disaster prevention and mitigation offices, along with local administrative organizations and military units, have been instructed to remain on high alert, coordinate resources, and assist the public as necessary.

While the province has initiated these precautionary measures, the specific list of which tourist sites will be closed remains subject to ongoing assessment based on daily weather developments. Visitors are advised to monitor official government announcements closely and exercise extreme caution when visiting natural attractions in the area during this period. It remains to be confirmed which specific locations will face total closure, as this will depend on the intensity of the rainfall and local risk assessments conducted by authorities throughout the week.
