Ongkharak district continues to suffer as floodwaters fail to recede and instead increase, beginning to emit a foul odor. Many residents have been forced to help carry sandbags away to drain the stagnant water. On October 5, 2026, reporters observed rising water levels on Highway 305 between Nakhon Nayok and Rangsit, with nearby communities reporting the smell and working to clear the water. The Nakhon Nayok Highway Office has urgently pumped water into the canal in front of Srinakharinwirot University to alleviate the situation, while floodwaters in Nakhon Nayok city are receding as they flow downstream toward the Bang Pakong River and out to sea. Officials expect conditions to improve if no additional rain falls.
