Bangkok Floods Displace Thousands as Rayong Orders Evacuations
At least 5,901 people moved to 234 evacuation centres as authorities warned more rain could trigger flash floods and landslides.
- On Monday, September 28, 2026, intense weekend rains triggered severe flooding across Bangkok and 41 provinces, displacing at least 5,901 people to 234 evacuation centres while over 80,000 residents remained trapped in their homes.
- Entire neighbourhoods were inundated after 320 mm of rain fell during two or three days last week, overwhelming the drainage network and nearly matching the low-lying city's typical rainfall for the entire month of September.
- Interior Ministry permanent secretary Unsit Sampuntharat stated authorities are mobilising mobile kitchens and boats for relief, with the government aiming to provide three meals a day to all affected residents throughout the flooding period.
- Aat Pisanwanich of Rangsit University's economics department estimated nationwide economic damage at at least 11 billion baht , warning the flooding is expected to shave 0.3 percentage points off this year's GDP growth.
- Last year's catastrophic southern floods, which killed at least 145 people, serve as a grim benchmark; those floods inundated more than 33,000 homes, highlighting potential infrastructure damage and recovery challenges ahead.
