Bangkok officials are conducting an intensive search for an oil leak source, with Governor Chadchart Sittipunt assuring the public that the situation remains under control.
According to a report by Matichon Online on September 11, 2026, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has been conducting overnight excavation operations to locate the source of an oil leak. Despite continuous efforts throughout the night, the specific origin of the leak has not yet been identified.
Crews are now extending their search area toward the railway line to pinpoint the source. Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt has addressed public concerns, stating that there is currently no cause for alarm.
For residents and travelers in the area, this operation may lead to localized traffic disruptions or restricted access near the excavation sites as authorities work to secure the area. While the BMA is actively managing the situation, the exact cause and location of the leak remain unconfirmed. Officials continue to monitor the site closely to ensure public safety and environmental protection. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses toward the railway tracks.
