Heavy Rains Cause Flooding on Trat-Laem Sok Road
Severe weather has led to flooding on the route to the Koh Kood pier, forcing travelers to use alternative roads.
According to a report by Thai Post on August 4, 2026, heavy rainfall has triggered flash flooding on the Trat-Laem Sok road in Trat Province. The inundation has disrupted traffic flow, specifically impacting the primary route used by travelers heading to the pier for ferry services to Koh Kood.
Local authorities are currently working to clear debris, including wood and waste, that has clogged drainage pipes in the area. In the meantime, motorists are being advised to utilize alternative routes to reach their destinations. Residents in the Huang Nam Khao sub-district have expressed concerns regarding the recurring nature of these floods, calling for a more permanent solution to the drainage issues that frequently affect this stretch of road.
For travelers and residents, this situation may cause delays in transit to the Koh Kood pier. It is recommended to check local traffic updates before departing and to allow extra time for travel if navigating the area. At this stage, it remains to be confirmed how long the cleanup efforts will take and whether the alternative routes will remain clear if the heavy rain persists. Travelers should monitor local announcements for further developments regarding road accessibility.
