Bangkok Floods Displace Thousands as Rayong Orders Evacuations
At least 5,901 people moved to 234 evacuation centers as floodwaters swamped neighborhoods and markets, and officials warned damage could reach 11 billion baht.
- 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 Bangkok's typical rainfall for the entire month of September.
- Interior Ministry permanent secretary Unsit Sampuntharat stated authorities are mobilising mobile kitchens and boats, aiming to provide "three meals a day to all residents throughout the flooding period and for at least another seven after waters recede."
- Aat Pisanwanich of Rangsit University's economics department estimated nationwide economic damage at at least 11 billion baht , with flooding expected to shave 0.3 percentage points off this year's GDP growth to 2.1%.
- Last year's catastrophic southern floods, which killed at least 145 people and inundated more than 33,000 homes, serve as a benchmark for potential infrastructure damage as authorities assess recovery needs.
