Bangkok Authorities Advise Avoiding 26 Flooded Roads Following Heavy Rainfall
Heavy rainfall over the past two days has caused flooding across Bangkok, leading city officials to issue travel warnings for 26 major road segments.
Following two consecutive days of heavy rainfall, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has issued an urgent advisory for motorists to avoid 26 specific road segments currently affected by flooding. As of 8:30 AM on September 26, 2026, the city’s flood-monitoring portal identified significant water accumulation impacting traffic flow across the capital.
Key areas currently experiencing flooding or restricted access include major thoroughfares such as Suwinthawong Road in Min Buri, the Lat Krabang area near Suvarnabhumi Airport, and sections of Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, where the stretch between Lak Si and Bang Khen is reported as closed. Additionally, Phahonyothin Road—spanning from Lat Phrao to Saphan Mai—and the Dinแดง intersection area are facing significant disruptions.
For residents and travelers, these conditions necessitate careful route planning and potential delays. Drivers are advised to exercise extreme caution, particularly in areas where water levels remain high. While the BMA continues to monitor the situation, commuters should check the official flood-avoidance website for real-time updates before traveling. It remains to be confirmed how long these specific road closures will persist and whether additional areas will be impacted as drainage efforts continue. Travelers heading toward Don Mueang or Suvarnabhumi airports are strongly encouraged to allow extra time for their journeys.
