Heavy Rainfall Causes Widespread Flooding in Phetchaburi
Eight hours of continuous rain in Phetchaburi province have led to flash floods, disrupting traffic on major roads and affecting several districts.
On October 11, 2026, Phetchaburi province experienced eight hours of intense rainfall, lasting from 4:00 AM to 12:00 PM. According to reports from Khaosod Online, the accumulation of water has caused flash floods and significant road congestion across multiple districts.
In Nong Ya Plong district, runoff has crossed the bypass road connecting to Tha Yang district, specifically impacting the Ban Dong Takit and Ban Sa Si Mum areas, where water levels have rendered the route impassable for small vehicles. In Khao Yoi district, flash floods have inundated residential areas behind the Ban Khiri Wong project, with water levels reaching waist-high in some locations. Furthermore, the parallel lane of Phetkasem Road at kilometer marker 134 (Bangkok-bound side) is flooded, causing significant traffic delays.
For residents and travelers, the Phetchaburi municipal area is also experiencing localized flooding due to overwhelmed drainage systems. Those planning to travel through or within Phetchaburi should exercise extreme caution, as road conditions remain volatile and traffic is heavily impacted. While the immediate rainfall has subsided, the extent of the damage to infrastructure and the timeline for water recession in the most affected areas remain to be confirmed by local authorities.
