State Railway of Thailand Suspends Bangkok-Nam Tok Route Due to Flooding

The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has announced the suspension of tourist train services No. 909 and 910, which operate between Bangkok (Hua Lamphong) and Nam Tok, for the upcoming weekend of October 3–4, 2026. This decision follows heavy rainfall and flash flooding in Kanchanaburi province, specifically affecting the track area near the Tham Badan crossing between Nam Tok Station and Sai Yok Noi Halt (kilometer marker 195+405).

While the SRT reports that the flash flood waters are beginning to recede, the surrounding area remains waterlogged, necessitating continued monitoring for safety. The flooding has also impacted local tourism, with Sai Yok National Park closing Sai Yok Noi Waterfall to visitors since September 27, 2026, until conditions are deemed safe.

For travelers who have already purchased tickets for these specific weekend services, the SRT is offering full refunds. Passengers may process these requests at any railway station ticket counter nationwide. The SRT has apologized for the inconvenience and advises the public to monitor official announcements for updates on service restoration. It remains to be confirmed when the tracks will be fully cleared and deemed safe for the resumption of regular tourist operations.
