Heavy Rain Floods Bangkok: Saen Saep Canal Overflows, Lat Phrao and Ramkhamhaeng Roads Severely Flooded with Traffic Gridlock

Heavy rain continues to batter Bangkok, causing the Saen Saep Canal to overflow and flood Lat Phrao and Ramkhamhaeng roads severely, especially in front of Ramkhamhaeng University.


On 25 September 2026, reporters covered the ongoing heavy rain and flooding in Bangkok. Since the morning, heavy rain has persisted across many areas in Bangkok and its vicinity, leading to flooding on several roads.


Subsequently, Bangkapi District announced a temporary traffic closure under the Ban Ma intersection U-turn bridge due to high water levels overflowing from the Saen Saep Canal and advised drivers to avoid the area.


Bang Kapi District facilitated residents by organizing shuttle services along the main roads of Lat Phrao and Ramkhamhaeng to ensure people could return home safely.


Municipal officers were deployed to manage traffic within Suan Son alley and Ramkhamhaeng 60 to ease public hardship after continuous rainfall throughout the day.


Traffic updates from JS100 Radio's page reported severe flooding on Ramkhamhaeng Road in front of Ramkhamhaeng University.


At 20:30, outbound Ramkhamhaeng Road from Foodland to The Mall Bangkapi entrance (Ramkhamhaeng Road side) was flooded by overflowing water from the Saen Saep Canal, submerging three traffic lanes and spilling over the median toward the inbound side.


Additionally, the bridge at Lam Sali intersection in front of a condominium was heavily flooded on both inbound and outbound sides. Several motorcycles were stranded, and small vehicles were advised to avoid the area.
