Bangkok Lifts Flood Disaster Status for 21 Districts
Bangkok lifted its flood disaster declaration for 21 districts on September 29, though 29 districts remain under close monitoring following heavy rainfall that inundated the city four days earlier.
On September 29, 2026, Bangkok Governor Chatchatchai Sitthiphan signed an order from the Bangkok Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Command ending the disaster declaration for 21 districts across Bangkok. However, 29 districts remain under close monitoring, comprising 14 with moderate impact and 15 with severe impact.
The disaster was declared on September 25 following heavy continuous rainfall that caused widespread flooding and traffic congestion across all 50 districts of Bangkok, affecting daily life and posing risks to residents and property. Field assessments have now shown that 21 districts experienced no impact, 14 experienced moderate impact, and 15 experienced severe impact.
The governor's order lifts the emergency status for the 21 unaffected districts while maintaining the disaster declaration for the remaining 29 districts. District administrators are directed to continue emergency response operations and disaster management activities under the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Act of 2007 and related laws.
