Energy companies are working to locate and repair an oil pipeline leak under the Rama 3 elevated bridge, with commitments to provide compensation for damages.
According to a report by Matichon Online on September 18, 2026, Bangchak Corporation and Bangkok Aviation Fuel Services (BAFS) are currently conducting an urgent investigation into an oil pipeline leak located beneath the Rama 3 elevated bridge in Bangkok.
Technical teams have been deployed to identify the exact source of the leak and perform necessary repairs to secure the infrastructure. Both companies have publicly stated their commitment to addressing the situation and have pledged to provide compensation to affected parties based on verified evidence and the actual extent of the damage caused by the incident.
For residents and travelers in the Rama 3 area, this situation may lead to localized traffic disruptions or restricted access near the site while maintenance crews operate.
