Bangkok authorities declared a flood disaster across all 50 districts of the Thai capital on Saturday, September 26, 2026, after nearly 48 hours of continuous heavy rain left canals overflowing, major roads submerged, and residents wading through deep water.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly 300 mm (about 12 inches) of rain fell in parts of the city since Thursday afternoon, overwhelming Bangkok\u2019s canal network and drainage systems. The eastern areas and neighborhoods near canals were hit hardest. Floodwaters entered homes, shops, restaurants, and alleyways; at least 13 roads were reported flooded, with some cars partially submerged and traffic disrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
