Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt reports that the source of an oil spill on Chuea Phloeng Road remains unidentified despite thorough inspections.
On September 13, 2026, Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt provided an update regarding an oil leak incident on Chuea Phloeng Road in the Khlong Toei district. According to reports from Matichon Online, authorities have conducted detailed inspections of the extensive pipeline network operated by local companies in the area to locate the origin of the spill.
Despite these efforts, officials have yet to identify the source of the oil. Inspections of the pipelines have not revealed any visible leaks or structural failures that would account for the presence of the oil on the road. The investigation is currently ongoing as authorities continue to monitor the situation and search for the cause.
For residents and travelers in the Khlong Toei area, this situation may result in localized traffic disruptions or safety precautions as cleanup and investigative teams remain active. While there is no immediate confirmation regarding the origin of the substance, the lack of a clear source means that the situation remains unresolved. Authorities have not yet determined how the oil reached the surface, and further updates are expected as the investigation proceeds. It is advised to remain cautious when traveling through the vicinity of Chuea Phloeng Road until the area is fully cleared and the source is identified.
