Prachuap Khiri Khan Prepares for Heavy Rainfall and Potential Flooding
Local authorities in Prachuap Khiri Khan are implementing emergency drainage and evacuation plans following heavy rainfall in Bang Saphan and Bang Saphan Noi districts.
On October 29, 2026, officials in Prachuap Khiri Khan province, led by Deputy Governor Preeda Sukjai, inspected flood-prone areas in Bang Saphan and Bang Saphan Noi districts. This action follows significant rainfall exceeding 150 millimeters, which has caused localized flooding and overflow from some reservoirs. To mitigate the impact, authorities are actively working to clear drainage channels, including the 'Pak Pid' canal, to improve water flow and prevent further accumulation. Local leaders and disaster prevention agencies have been mobilized to monitor water levels closely, particularly near critical infrastructure like the Khlong Din Niao bridge. Emergency shelters have been prepared to accommodate residents if the situation escalates. For travelers and residents in the area, this situation is significant as heavy rain is forecasted to continue, potentially disrupting local travel and daily activities. While current efforts focus on drainage and monitoring, the full extent of the impact remains to be confirmed as weather conditions evolve. Residents and visitors are advised to stay updated through local official channels and exercise caution when traveling through affected districts.
