Heavy rainfall caused serious flooding overnight in Bangkok, Pattaya and in towns along the Mekong River in the Northeast, with more to come.


Following a night of torrential rain which paralysed traffic on several main roads in the capital, the weather office has warned residents there could be a repeat of the nightmare on Tuesday night.

The daily 5am weather forecast issued by the Meteorological Department said more rain is expected over 60% of Bangkok and the surrounding provinces, with “heavy” rain forecast for some areas.




Several roads in Pattaya City were reported heavily flooded on Monday night following heavy rain.

Sukhumvit Road, Beach Road and Pattaya-Na Kleau Road in the popular coastal tourist destination were partially covered with floodwater between 30cm and 90cm deep, reports said.

City workers were this morning speeding up the draining of the water.

Elsewhere in the country, the municipality and business centre of That Phanom district of the northeastern province of Nakhon Phanom became flooded after an hour-long downpour on Mondayevening.
