Flooding in Thailand provinces

Heavy rainfall has triggered significant flooding across multiple provinces in Thailand.

In Buriram Province, the Ban Kruat District experienced flooding caused by heavy rain and forest runoff, affecting the sub-districts of Ban Kruat, Non Charoen, and Khao Din Nuea. Submerged roads in the district center have caused travel difficulties, while strong currents in the Nong Mai Ngam sub-district severed a key access road. The floods have also impacted agricultural areas, including rubber plantations, cassava crops, and livestock farms.

In Prachin Buri province, rainfall between 100 and 200 millimeters in Khao Yai National Park triggered flash floods across four districts: Prachantakham, Na Di, Kabin Buri, and Si Maha Phot. Water levels on local roads have reached up to 100 centimeters, making them impassable for small vehicles. Rescue teams have utilized high-clearance vehicles and boats to evacuate vulnerable residents.

In Samut Sakhon and Samut Prakan, continuous heavy rain has raised water management concerns. In Samut Sakhon, Governor Ammat Charoensri inspected the Klong Phasi Charoen water gate system, with officials ordering 24-hour surveillance and preparing water pumps to protect the Krathum Baen district. In Samut Prakan, intense rain has flooded major roads, including Thepharak, Srinakarin, Sukhumvit, and Phraeksa. Drainage efforts in Samut Prakan are being complicated by rising sea levels and high canal water levels.
