Bangkok has been declared a disaster-affected zone after days of relentless rainfall triggered severe flooding across Thailand’s capital. Nearly 300 millimetres (11.8 inches) of rain has fallen in just a few days, overwhelming drainage systems and leaving several roads completely submerged. Governor Chadchart Sittipunt warned that additional heavy rain is expected in the coming days, raising concerns that the flooding could worsen.

Floodwaters have disrupted normal life across the city, with videos showing vehicles struggling through waterlogged streets while many cars were left stranded. Several neighborhoods experienced major traffic disruptions as rising water inundated key roads and low-lying areas. Emergency teams have been deployed to assist affected residents, while authorities continue monitoring the situation and responding to flood-related incidents.

City officials have urged people to avoid unnecessary travel, remain alert, and follow weather advisories as heavy rainfall continues. Residents living in flood-prone areas have been advised to take precautionary measures and prepare for possible further inundation. With more rain forecast, authorities are working to reduce the impact of flooding and ensure public safety across the Thai capital.
