Flooding Persists in Ongkharak, Nakhon Nayok
Rising floodwaters on Highway 305 have caused road disruptions and sanitation concerns, though conditions in Nakhon Nayok city are stabilizing.
As of October 5, 2026, severe flooding continues to affect the Ongkharak district in Nakhon Nayok province. According to reports from Khaosod Online, water levels on Highway 305 (Nakhon Nayok-Rangsit) have risen, impacting traffic flow near Srinakharinwirot University.
Residents in the area, surrounded by floodwaters for several days, are now facing sanitation issues as the stagnant water has begun to emit foul odors. In an effort to drain the contaminated water, local community members have removed sandbags, causing water to flow across the road. The Nakhon Nayok Highway District is currently working to expedite the drainage of this water into the canal fronting the university.
While the situation in Nakhon Nayok city has largely returned to normal, the floodwaters have shifted downstream toward the sub-districts of Khlong Yai, Sai Mun, Bang Luk Suea, and Bang Sombun. This water is expected to eventually flow into the Bang Pakong River and out to sea.
For travelers and residents, Highway 305 remains a point of concern due to rising water levels and ongoing drainage efforts. Authorities suggest that if no further rainfall occurs today, the situation may begin to improve. Travelers are advised to monitor local traffic updates before planning trips through the Ongkharak area.
