Severe Flooding Disrupts Transport Services in Eastern Thailand
The Transport Co., Ltd. (BKS) has suspended 13 van and minibus routes in Eastern Thailand due to severe flooding, citing safety concerns for passengers.
On September 28, 2026, The Transport Co., Ltd. (BKS) announced the temporary suspension of 13 van and minibus routes serving Eastern Thailand. According to Khaosod Online, the decision was prompted by heavy rainfall and significant flooding that has rendered several roads impassable for public transport vehicles.
BKS is closely monitoring the situation to ensure passenger safety. The affected routes primarily originate from the Bangkok (Ekkamai) terminal and include destinations such as Rayong, Phanom Sarakham, Chanthaburi, and Laem Ngob. The company emphasized that these suspensions are necessary to mitigate risks while road conditions remain hazardous.
For travelers and residents in the affected regions, this disruption means that standard public transport options are currently unavailable. Those planning to travel to or from the Eastern provinces are advised to check for updates from BKS or local transport operators before attempting to commute.
At this time, it remains to be confirmed how long these suspensions will remain in effect, as the duration depends on the receding of floodwaters and the assessment of road safety by local authorities. Travelers should anticipate potential delays and consider alternative arrangements if travel is essential. BKS continues to track the weather situation and will provide further updates as conditions evolve.
