Flooding Disrupts Traffic on Sukhumvit Road in Rayong
Heavy flooding has forced the closure of a section of Sukhumvit Road in Rayong's Klaeng District, with authorities urging motorists to avoid the area.
According to the Thailand Government Public Relations Department, severe flooding has impacted the Klaeng District of Rayong province. As of September 26, 2026, the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) is collaborating with local agencies to provide assistance to affected residents and manage the ongoing situation.
Specifically, the Sukhumvit Road segment between Khao Din and Prasae has been closed to all traffic due to high water levels that currently render the route impassable. Authorities have issued a formal advisory requesting that motorists and travelers avoid this section of the highway until further notice to ensure public safety and allow emergency operations to proceed without obstruction.
For residents and travelers in the area, this closure may cause significant delays or require lengthy detours. It is essential to monitor local news updates and follow the instructions of officials on the ground. At this time, it remains to be confirmed how long the water levels will remain high and when the road will be deemed safe for reopening. Travelers planning to pass through Rayong are advised to check current traffic conditions before departing.
