Heavy Rainfall Causes Severe Traffic Congestion in Nonthaburi
Persistent rain has led to significant flooding and traffic delays across major roads in Nonthaburi province, impacting commuters and residents.
On September 25, 2026, continuous rainfall throughout the day caused widespread flooding across several key thoroughfares in Nonthaburi province, leading to severe traffic congestion. According to reports from Khaosod Online, water levels ranging from 15 to 30 centimeters have accumulated on major routes, including Rattanathibet Road, Tiwanon Road, and Ngamwongwan Road.
Specific areas affected include the stretch from the Nonthaburi Provincial Hall to the Khae Rai intersection, and the vicinity of The Mall Ngamwongwan. On Tiwanon Road, particularly near the Central Chest Institute of Thailand, water depths reaching 20–30 centimeters in the middle and left lanes have rendered those sections impassable for many vehicles and motorcycles. Similar conditions were reported near the Lek-Komes Anusorn School.
For residents and travelers, these conditions mean significant delays and potential disruptions to daily commutes. Motorists are advised to exercise caution and expect slow-moving traffic in these areas. While the immediate impact is clear, it remains to be confirmed how long the drainage systems will take to clear the standing water and whether further rainfall will exacerbate the situation. Travelers planning to pass through Nonthaburi should monitor local traffic updates and consider alternative routes if possible.
