Bangkok declared a disaster zone on 26 September covering three districts and 13 wards—Nong Chok (8 wards), Suan Luang (3 wards), and Kan Nayao (2 wards)—following severe flooding that disrupted access and transportation. Governor Chadchart Sittipunt signed the proclamation to mobilize government agencies, local administrations, and private entities to coordinate disaster management and relief efforts under the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Act of 2007 and related national and municipal disaster plans.
The declaration covers Nong Chok's eight wards including Krathumrai, Nong Chok, Khlong Sip, Khlong Sip Song, Khok Faet, Khoo Fang Nuea, Lam Phakchi, and Lam Toi Ting; Suan Luang's three wards of Onnuch, Pattanakarn, and Suan Luang; and Kan Nayao's two wards of Ramintra and Kan Nayao. Bangkok will closely monitor the situation and pursue further disaster zone declarations if additional areas meet the criteria.
