A minister from the Prime Minister's Office confirmed that the Mae Klong basin water level remains stable and is expected to gradually decrease if no additional rain falls, pointing out that impacts are limited to riverside areas and low-lying homes.
On 30 September 2026 at Government House, Mr. Naphin Sriphang, Minister attached to the Prime Minister's Office and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Flood and Drought Prevention and Mitigation for the Mae Klong and Phetchaburi-Prachuap Khiri Khan Basins, reported on water conditions in Ratchaburi, Kanchanaburi, and Samut Songkhram provinces. He said that the Vajiralongkorn Dam's water volume as of 29 September was nearly full at 90%, necessitating an increase in water discharge to 42 million cubic meters per day. This led the Mae Klong Dam to raise its water release to approximately 2,195–2,500 cubic meters per second.
Mr. Naphin stated that although the discharge level is higher than the normal level that does not affect riverbanks (1,500 cubic meters per second), causing water to rise about 2 meters above the riverbank line, recent assessments show the water volume upstream of the Mae Klong Dam has started to decrease. If no heavy rain returns, water levels flowing through Ban Pong, Photharam, Mueang Ratchaburi districts, and into Samut Songkhram province are expected to stabilize and gradually decline.
The subcommittee chairman confirmed that this flood mainly affects low-lying riverside areas along the Mae Klong River and does not broadly impact agricultural lands. Hospitals remain safe. All provinces have prepared warning systems, elevated storage of belongings, and temporary shelters. Vulnerable patients have been relocated from risk areas in advance. Most residents remain in their homes, as they can still manage the situation.
