Heavy Rainfall Causes Flooding on Key Roads in Chumphon
Persistent heavy rain has led to flooding on major roads in Chumphon province, impacting traffic flow near Wang Tako and Lang Suan Hospital.
On November 12, 2026, continuous heavy rainfall across Chumphon province resulted in significant water accumulation and flooding on critical transport routes. According to reports from Khaosod Online, the Wang Tako intersection on the Lang Suan-Phato road in Lang Suan district experienced rapid flooding, with water levels reaching 20 to 30 centimeters over a 100-meter stretch of the road. This condition poses a risk for smaller vehicles attempting to pass through the area. Additionally, flooding has been reported on the Asia 41 highway, specifically on the northbound side near Lang Suan Hospital, requiring motorists to exercise increased caution and follow adjusted traffic lanes. The Chumphon Highway District has deployed personnel to the affected areas to manage traffic flow and ensure the safety of road users. For travelers and residents in the region, these conditions may cause significant delays and potential hazards. It remains to be confirmed how long the water will take to recede and whether further rainfall will exacerbate the situation in other parts of the province. Travelers are advised to monitor local traffic updates and exercise extreme caution when navigating flooded sections.
