Flash Floods Disrupt Main Road Access to Ban Kruat District
Authorities have closed a major road in Buriram province to small vehicles due to significant flash flooding.
According to a report by Thai Post on September 25, 2026, flash floods have inundated a primary road connecting Prakhon Chai District to Ban Kruat District in Buriram province. The rising water levels, reaching depths of 30 to 50 centimeters, have affected a stretch of road approximately one kilometer long.
In response to the hazardous conditions, local officials have officially closed the route to all small vehicles to ensure public safety. The flooding has effectively severed a key transit artery, complicating travel for residents and commuters attempting to reach the Ban Kruat town center.
For travelers and residents in the area, this closure necessitates finding alternative routes and exercising extreme caution if navigating nearby roads. It remains to be confirmed how long the water will take to recede and when the road will be deemed safe for small vehicles to resume transit. Local authorities have not yet provided a specific timeline for the reopening of the affected section. Those planning to travel through Buriram should monitor local news updates and follow the instructions of traffic officials on the ground.
