Sriracha is severely affected as heavy rain falls continuously for several hours, causing flooding at multiple points, especially on Highway 331 between Mab Tiang and Laem Chabang, from Pinthong Industrial Estate 1 to under the Nong Kham interchange. Floodwaters are deep, and small vehicles and motorcycles are strictly prohibited from passing due to engine stall risks.
On 25 Sep 2026, reporters reported that in Sriracha district, Chonburi province, heavy rain fell continuously for several hours, causing flooding and water overflowing onto road surfaces in many areas, particularly on major roads and known flood-prone spots. Highway 331 from Mab Tiang to Laem Chabang, specifically from the pedestrian bridge at Pinthong Industrial Estate 1 to under the Nong Kham interchange, experienced deep flooding over about 400 meters. Small vehicles risk engine failure halfway through.
At 13:00 on 25 Sep 2026, Narit Niramaiwong, Governor of Chonburi, together with Phatchanan Phongphad, Sriracha district chief, and Arkomjen Panchalermchaychok, mayor of Chao Phya Surasak city, along with Nong Kham police and related officials, inspected Highway 331 in Mab Tiang-Laem Chabang, Sriracha, Chonburi. Floodwaters remain high with no sign of receding, causing traffic to back up for several kilometers. A warning was issued: "Small cars and motorcycles are strictly forbidden from passing due to high risks of submersion and engine failure."
At some points, water levels are so high that motorcycles and small cars cannot pass. Some residents have parked their vehicles in safe areas to avoid flooded routes, while some vehicles have already been affected by the flooding.
Police have deployed forces to flood-prone areas to facilitate traffic and have warned and informed the public using these routes to exercise caution and avoid heavily flooded spots to prevent dangers from water currents.
Lt. Col. Jirapat Sripakdee, Prevention and Suppression Inspector at Nong Kham Police Station, reported the latest situation: water is converging beneath Highway 7 Section 2, a point receiving water from all directions, causing significant flooding on the road surface there. Police traffic officers, patrol units, and tow trucks are assisting travelers at this point. The floodwater is awaiting drainage, with rainfall since last night accumulating a large volume of water.
If rainfall continues, accumulated water and flood levels in the area may rise further. Residents traveling in the area should check road conditions and avoid flooded spots until the situation improves.
