Flood Waters Inundate Ayutthaya’s Sena District Communities

The Lesser River has overflowed its banks, flooding the Sena district in Ayutthaya province. Residents say the water arrived unusually fast this year, rising within just two to three days and inundating homes up to about one metre deep. On 30 September 2026, reporters noted continuously rising water levels in the Chao Phraya River, the Lesser River and their tributaries, causing many areas to experience overflow and inundation of houses. Along Thammasit Sena Road in front of Ratsadon Bamrung Silp School, water from the canal spilled over, flooding the adjacent community and its access road to a depth of roughly 50‑60 centimetres. Cars and motorcycles can still pass but must drive cautiously through the water. The Sena municipal authority has erected a wooden walkway along the road to aid pedestrian movement and is preparing for higher water that could block vehicle traffic. Some residents have moved their cars to higher ground, including the bridge over the Lesser River in front of the Sena municipal market, to avoid damage. In addition, homes along the opposite bank of the Lesser River outside the flood embankment have already been inundated, with water reaching about one metre in places, making travel difficult. A villager said the water came up very quickly this year, filling homes to about one metre within just two or three days, forcing them to find new parking spots and admit that getting in and out of the community is now hard and they must monitor the water level closely. The Sena municipality has also provided wood for residents to borrow to prop up their houses and set up temporary shops to store belongings moved out of the flood zone; so far about 80 households have requested the material.
