Flood Situation Update: Bang Kapi Intersection Clears as Bangkok Governor Manages Water Levels
Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt reports that the Bang Kapi intersection is now dry, while efforts continue to manage water levels in Lat Krabang and surrounding areas.
According to a report by Matichon Online on October 1, 2026, the flood situation at the Bang Kapi intersection in Bangkok has improved, with the area now reported as dry. Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt stated that authorities are currently preparing to drain water to lower the levels at Bueng Phang Phuay, a move intended to alleviate flooding issues in the Nawamin area.
Despite these improvements in certain parts of the city, the Governor noted that water levels in the Lat Krabang district remain high. For residents and travelers, this update indicates that while major intersections like Bang Kapi are becoming accessible again, localized flooding persists in eastern Bangkok. Those planning to travel through or reside in the Lat Krabang area should remain cautious and monitor local updates, as traffic conditions may still be affected by standing water.
It remains to be confirmed how long the drainage operations at Bueng Phang Phuay will take and when the water levels in Lat Krabang are expected to recede significantly. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely to manage the city's water drainage capacity effectively.
