Flooding Update: Khukhot and Don Mueang Traffic Remains Heavily Impacted
Floodwaters are beginning to recede in the Khukhot and Don Mueang areas, though traffic remains severely congested with numerous stalled vehicles.
According to a report from Matichon Online on October 1, 2026, flood conditions in the Khukhot and Don Mueang areas, specifically near the National Memorial, have shown signs of improvement as water levels begin to subside. Despite this slight reduction, the impact on local transportation remains significant.
Motorists are advised that all traffic lanes in the affected zones remain heavily congested. The situation is further complicated by a high number of vehicles that have stalled due to the flooding, creating obstacles for ongoing traffic flow. For residents and travelers in the northern Bangkok metropolitan area, this means that travel times through these corridors will likely remain extended until the roads are cleared of both water and disabled vehicles.
While the receding water is a positive development, the current state of the roads poses a continued challenge for commuters. It remains to be confirmed how long it will take for the authorities to clear the stalled vehicles and restore normal traffic conditions. Travelers heading toward Don Mueang or passing through the Khukhot area are encouraged to monitor local traffic updates closely and consider alternative routes if possible to avoid further delays.
