The UK Foreign Office (FCDO) has issued an updated travel warning for Thailand due to severe flooding. Heavy rainfall has affected several provinces, including Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, and Samut Prakan, with all 50 districts of Bangkok declared disaster-affected areas.
Travel disruption, including road closures and flooding in low-lying areas, is possible. The Thai government declared special public holidays on 28 and 29 September in Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, and Samut Prakan to help manage the impact of the floods.
Since 16 September, at least eight people have died in flood-related incidents across Thailand. The Thai Meteorological Department forecasts less rain for the country, though isolated heavy rain is possible in the western part of the North, particularly Mae Hong Son and Chiang Mai Province. Thunderstorms are also forecast for the South.
Travellers are advised that government services may be closed or operating with reduced capacity and should follow local authorities' advice. Flights to and from Bangkok, specifically Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport, have experienced delays and cancellations.
