Bangkok Authorities Expect Major Roads to Clear Within 48 Hours
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration reports that 90% of major roads are expected to be dry within two days as flood recovery efforts intensify.
According to the Thailand Government Public Relations Department, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has announced that approximately 90% of the city's major thoroughfares are expected to be free of floodwater within the next two days.
Recovery operations are currently focused on low-lying 'basin' areas, specifically targeting the Khlong Chan and Rom Klao districts, where water drainage remains a priority. To ensure comprehensive coverage, the BMA has deployed frontline teams to reach residents in deeper, less accessible alleyways (sois) that may still be affected by standing water.
For residents and travelers, this progress suggests a gradual return to normalcy for city traffic and public transportation routes. However, those planning to travel through or reside in the Khlong Chan and Rom Klao areas should remain cautious, as localized flooding may persist in smaller streets even as main roads clear.
While the BMA’s projection provides a positive outlook for the city's infrastructure, the timeline for the complete drainage of all residential sub-districts remains to be confirmed. Travelers are advised to monitor local traffic reports and follow guidance from municipal authorities as recovery efforts continue.
